BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 2B: UNDERSTANDING FORCES IN GRID SHELL STRUCTURES

In this project, we are to propose a building with a grid shell construction and identify the structural systems used in the construction of the building. We are to describe each structural system identified in terms of function, material and load distribution. From there, produce a model on an A3 base showing the structural systems used in the chosen building. A detailed model showing appropriate constructional joints was done in a suitable scale. To further understand the construction and joints, manual axonometric drawings were produced.
