WEEK NINE: Detailing Buildings  Building 1: Oval Pavilion (Other peoples drawings in detail) Canopy Section: ! Function Room roof Section: ! - this canopy area isn’t completely water - the details shown in the drawing include the proof and isn't meant to be as it is an flashing which prevents water from external structure ! penetrating the building ! - however the natural designed tilted roof - the windows in this structure are a hybrid with allow water to flow off the roof system as they also form the wall of the structure ! front of the structure !
Pop up window ! - the tilted top plate of this window frame will allow the water to flow either down the roof or off the top of the window and prevent it from entering the internal structure ! - again the flashing is another detail that will stop water from entering and keep the window water

WEEK NINE: Detailing Buildings   Building 2: Building 1888! - the masonry wall of this building is load bearing and therefore is apart of the primary structure, this is very common of this era! - the cornices on this building are very decorative and are again reflective of this era! - the window sills are tilted in order to ensure water runs away from the building ! - the stain glass window plates are another feature that are for aesthetic reasons only ! - all these decorative elements and features are details that have allowed the building to age gracefully and become a monument that really reflects the 17th century architecture ! - bricks are a good material to use as they last long and weather well as they are hard to damage and can resist harsh weather elements well
Masonry load bearing wall (Murphy, 2014)
Window embedded in the masonry structure (Murphy, 2014)
The pin joint that allows the window to open and close, the tilted sill is also a detail that is used to prevent water from entering the building (Murphy, 2014)
WEEK NINE:Detailing Buildings   Building 3: Melbourne School of Design (MSD) ! - The window and door system used at the entrance are a hybrid system as they also form the walls for this entrance ! - by doing this it allows a lot more light to enter the building and can therefore help to save electricity ! - the shades on the north facing side are permeant as this side receives the most sun all year round, this will help prevent sun radiation into the bulging and filter the light that comes through ! - the stricter is mostly made from concrete, steel and aluminium which are alls tong materials that weather well! - however the shades might prove a problem to clean overtime ! - there is evidence of mate nice access around the building and on the rood to allow for repairs to the building and also for maybe even cleaning ! - the angled widows on the south side are a very clever way to allow water to run away from the building as well as letting light in
the windows at eh entrance of the MSD are a hybrid system and allow lots of light in (Murphy, 2014)
This side also contains many windows and even some angle to let light in the underground level
the permanent shades help shade the building as this ice of the building faces north
WEEK NINE: Learning Loop   Construction detailing (Ching 1975; Newton, 2014)! - how materials are put together! - decisions made: materials, methods, builder, designer, adapt quickly ! 1. movement joints! - compressed, as installed, elongated! Types of movement joints: ! - expansions joints: continuos, unobstructed slots between two part of the building or the structure ! - control joints: continuos grooves or separations formed in concrete ground slabs of masonry walls to form a plane of weakness ! - isolation joints: divide a large or geometrically complex strict into sections so that different movement or settlement can occur between parts! 2. heath and safety! - adhere to the rules and regulations, personal safety equipment ! - building codes: material selection, methods of installation, insulation ! - tread widths and heights, balustrades ! 3. ageing! - gracefully vs deterioration : water damage, choosing materials and material coatings which suit the position and purpose, type of environment ! 4. repairable surfaces and resistance to damage ! - plasterboard: easily replaced! - prevent wall damage ! - toe recess: hide marks! - corners: protection such as corner bead or angle ! 5. cleanable surfaces! 6. maintenance access! 7. construct ability! - difficult to construct ! 8. other! - off the shelf items!
Composite Materials (Newton, 2014)!
!
monolithic: ! - single material, materials combined so that components are indistinguishable (e.g metal alloys) !
!
The oval pavilion: An example of a movement joint (expansion) in a masonry wall
composite: ! - two or more materials are combined in such a way that the individual materials remain easily distinguishable! - formed from: combination of material s which differ in a composition or form, remain bonded together, retain their properties, act together to provide improved or specific or synergetic characteristics not obtainable by any of the original competes acting alone ! -Types: Fibrous (contain fibres), laminar (sandwich panels), particular (gravel, resin), hybrid (combinations of composite materials) ! -example: reinforced fibre cement, fibre glass, aluminium sheet products, timber compositions, fibre reinforced polymers !
