PROJECT 1
SKELETAL CONSTRUCTION - Temporary bus shelter
The objectives of this project are as follows:
-
To create an understanding of skeletal structure and its relevant structural components.
-
To understand how a skeletal structure reacts under loading.
-
To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how skeletal construction works.
-
To be able to manipulate skeletal construction to solve an oblique design problem.

UNDERSTANDING FORCES IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
A building normally comprises of several different types of constructional systems, either due to its function or building code requirements. As designers, it is very important that you understand when and where each of the different type of constructional system is used. Today, tensile and grid shell construction methods are becoming widely used structures for building support. It provides the required load bearing resistance and aesthetics required by designers. Today, technological advancement is creating the path for innovations in building construction through exploration of materials, construction techniques and information technologies to produce more effective design approaches and features that will suit the designers’ preferences, environment needs and etc..
