01_Studio Report Activity ‘IN DETAIL’ Develop an understanding of the actual size of construction elements and the detailed relationship of individual parts. To experiment with the implication and difficulty of translating a scale drawing to a full size drawing (or a real part of the construction).
The gap here compared to that in reality is two times deeper. Therefore, we assume that the oval pavilion redevelopment drawing is not the final drawing. The detail of the section in reality need to be consulted with engineers and developers. Sometimes, the final variation would be related to the manufacture and other objective elements.
Structural silicone Sealant (compatible with both the glass units and the metal frame)
Double Glazing Window Good for preventing the heat loss
Screw All along the fabricated steel hood window platform
This is the typical Aluminium Window (also Double Glazing) -the Aluminium window frames are relatively low in cost, lightweight, and corrosion resistant, but because they are such efficient conductors of heat, synthetic rubber or plastic thermal breaks are required to interrupt the flow of heat from the warm to cool side of the frame.
Timber Board -Nailed together
Loose Insulation
Trimmer -the timber or metal beam (joist) -It can refer to a jack stud that supports a header above a window
As the wall was built by the builders at the first place, the window framework was manufactured by Viridian Company at the manufactory. When the window frame was installed into the under-construction site, the window and the wall didn’t match. Therefore, the engineers and the project manager might decide to cut part of the wall to fit the window and use the soldier chord to match the length of the upper bricks. As shown in the photo underneath, a part of the platform under the wall frame was cut by some heavy metal tools. And the edge of the wall are broken. This is a ‘bad detail’ in reality.
Solider Chord
I redraw the gap in A1 paper which has the same depth in reality. The real depth is half shorter than that in the architectural drawing. Therefore, we assume that the final decision can be changed based on objective elements.
GAP between the timber board and the double glazing window
02_Learning Loop Strategies For Openings E-learning, 2014 Openings – Doors & Windows Different purpose: -Access in and out -Distribute views and character -Allow ventilation and light Different Doors -Timber doors (sliding door hanging on the track above or sliding on the channel below). -Aluminium doors (commonly buildings and office buildings) -Steel doors (steel frame & timber door inserted) Jamb Detail
Door & door frame terminology
Material- Glass E-
Windows Frame Terminology: -Brick veneer system/ timber frame system -Aluminium Windows (commonly used in commercial building) Different Doors -Timber doors (sliding door hanging on the track above or sliding on the channel below). -Aluminium doors (commonly buildings and office buildings) Complex system ->double glazed for better insulation -Steel windows (finer and flatter, commonly used in Australia, more expensive)

Component: -Formers (silica) -Fluxes (soda ash/ potash/ lithium carbonate) -Stabilizers History: Brown glass->sheet glass->lead crystal->plate glass->lamination->float glass History: -Non-porous/ waterproof -Medium-high density (2.7 x denser than water and concrete) -High hardness -High fragility -Very low ductility -High flexibility & plasticity when molten/ low to very low when cooled -Typically very durable -Very high reusability & recyclability -High embodied energy & Carbon foot print (but ease of recycling) -Generally expensive to produce and transport Other types and products: -Clear float glass -Laminated glass -Patterned glass -Curved glass -Photovoltaic glass -Glass Channels -Slumped and formed glass -Glass fibres -Double Glazing / Triple glazing (good for preventing heat loss
03_Glossary Appendix 1. Window Sash- refer to the fixed or movable framework of a window in which panes of glass are set, its section profile varies with material, manufacture and operation (Ching, 2014, p. 8.22).
Sash
2. Door Furniture- the handles, locks, and other fixtures designed for use on doors.
3. Deflection- is the perpendicular distance a spanning member deviates from the actual course under transverse loading, increasing with load and span, and decreasing with an increase in the moment of inertia of the section or the modulus of elasticity of the material (Ching, 2014, p. 2.14).
4. Stress- an applied force or system of forces that tends to strain, bend or deform. Sometimes it is also the internal resistance of the body to such an applied force or system of forces.
5. Moment of Inertia- the sum of the products of each element of the area and the square of its distance form a coplanar axis of rotation (Ching, 2014, p. 2.14). It is determined by the sectional area and the shape of the structure.
6. Shear Force- the force acting on a substance in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the substance. For instance, the pressure of air along the front of the airplane wing. Shear force often results in shear strain.
