WK5 – Studio Report The activity for this week’s Studio was to separate into groups and make a scale model of a part of the Oval Pavilion at the University of Melbourne. The groups had to use the A3 construction drawings of the Oval Pavilion, and use a range of different materials to build a scale frame of a certain section of the building.

The materials my group used for the exercise were balsa wood sheets and masking tape. We tried to use glue to join different elements together, but it was not time efTicient and did not give a strong joint.

The part of the building our group had to make, was the Eastern wing of the pavilion, which housed part of the function room and featured a tall feature wall element and Tireplace. The feature wall element is shown in the photo below, and a sketch diagram shows what was to be included in our model.

Our group decided that the easiest way to rec-­‐create the frame of this part of the building, would be to split it into two different structural elements. The main pavilion structure, and the feature wall element. These two elements are illustrated in the sketches below.
