Structural concept

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)
