Structural Concept Framing structure • Mainly supported by tensile strength Columns and Beams Bracing Wooden frames from the cross-section of one of the sections of the studio compression
The roofing uses a framing system where battens and rafters framing are used to resist the compressive force using tension (Ching, 2008)

Materials Timber Glass Steel (roof sheet, cladding, window frame) Aluminum mesh/insect mesh (roof) Insulation (Roof and walls) Bracing Timber stumps Rafters Battens Insulation on RWH (rain water head) the wall Box gutter Down pipe Timber window frame Timber ceiling lining Plasterboard Plywood Joining materials Bolts Hinges Noggins Studs
Construction
Systems used in the construction • Footing and Foundation systems • Wall system • Floor System • Roof System
Post and the cross section of the floor is drawn and measured to start the building of the section of the studio A02, option 3 Haidee Lim (617093)
Aesthetic Design Timber- provides colour as well as patterns and texture Openings/ glass – allows natural light to illuminate the interior
Function
Gutter- drains water from the roof and prevent water leakage. (Gumpertz, 1967)
Columns and Beams- to support compressions vertically from the load and to transfer the transverse forces across the support element. (Ching, 2008) Footing and foundation – anchor the structure and transmit load to the ground. (Ching, 2008) Insulator- absorbed and decrease the time for heat to be absorbed and stored (Ching, 2008)
