Modular System Original scheme is turned prefabricated components into structural frame system for the building. Scaffolding gives lateral resistance, good supporting structures, and have multi-purpose components which can be built and dismantle easily. By referring to the components from KHK scaffolding catalog, this modular system was designed. The wall could be added straightforwardly. Plus the spaces between frames serve as a means for the piping and ductwork, meanwhile the frames are directly connect to the sub-platform foundation posts. These adjustable posts reduce the overall contact with the ground which services as space for airflow and embankment from the sea lion.

Two persons built the physical models at 1-100 scale; another person built at 1-20 scale. I worked on computer generated renderings with the other persons. My role was assisted with 3D model of the research center for my partner. Individually, I was responsible for generated modular system by Revit program meanwhile figured out the new structure connections of the scaffolding with the help from Phil Cedeno who was working on physical model.
