PROJECT 2:

Understanding Forces in Building Construction

|| The Brief

In Project 1, we had to form into a group of 3. The objective is to select a case study that consist a roof construction of either a tensile structure or a grid shell structure. We had to come out with boards consisting information of how the structure contributes in supporting and distributing the load, and the significance of the construction details. A model of a replication of the roof construction is required. 

​

A thorough research is carried out to understand the components, structures and construction of our case study, which is the Centre Pompidou-Metz. After completing the research process, it was arranging the information into boards, consisting of manual hand drawn drawings and also our understanding of the building, with its construction details. The production of model was carried out after understanding how the construction of the roof works.
