Week 10 Journal: This week we proceeded the activity of ‘ detailing volume’. We visited the Oval Pavilion and explored the construction elements in perspective.
It is a 3D image which shows the whole building.
It is a timber frame building. This frame is very common in construction. Timber framing is a historic method of construction that uses lap joints or mortise and tenon joints, along with wooden pegs or dowels, to create a frame structure for a building and timber framing uses more primitive construction materials than those commonly used in stick framing. In addition, timber framing can be used to add beauty and rustic charm to the interior construction of a building, or it can be employed in the traditional manner, constructing the entire building with timber framing methods(Palmer, 2013). Timber is a good material because it is cheap and easy to get. Also, in the construction, it is a necessary element to form the building. we can use less labour to fix them together.
