COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis course will offer students a foundation and familiarity with the use of structural systems through various case studies and examples. Each case study will be presented holistically and then deconstructed and analyzed to determine structural systems used and the reasoning behind the selection. Through structural investigation, students will peel away the design and actively calculate loads and forces while discussing the possibility of modifying existing structures.

The course allows the student to immerse in a built example and imagine the evolution of the design and consider the effectiveness of the system as it pertains to the architectural design constraints and other building systems.

Students (teams) will be exposed to a lecture and seminar/analysis period to deconstruct their chosen building based on the lecture’s focus. The intent is to have the student dissect/deconstruct the building to understand the design constraints and forces, which influence the structural design to give the student a holistic understanding of structural systems at work.

Precedent assignment: Students, in groups of two, are assigned abuilding as the subject of their project. The students are requiredto investigate and research the structural system of the building.Their investigation should discuss the influence of the location,use/function and aesthetic design of the building under studywhen determining the structural design system selected. That is, buildings in a high wind or high seismic region will be subject to higher lateral loadings and certain systems function better than others. Also the use and function of the building, such as a school, hospital or library, often require column free areas, which will influence the structural system selected – this should be discussed. In addition, the structural system will often determine the materials of the building such as a concrete, steel, masonry or combination thereof.

CASE STUDY CCTV HEADQUARTERS

Students, in groups of two create building forms (models) to study and examine the principles of repetitive structural forms such as Hyperbolic Paraboloids (HyPar), domes, vaults, shells, torus etc.

By experimenting with these forms, the student better grasps the load paths and can explore form finding of structural shapes and development of structural modules.

STRUCTURAL FORMSTUDY

Students returning back to their precedent building studies or an acceptable alternate are to dissect the building system and discuss key structural components by creating diagram studies of the assemblies illustrating the structural composition and load path of the system.

KEY STRUCTURALELEMENTS

Students are given construction documents of several buildings. Focusing on areas of interface between structural system and the building shells, the students are required to create a variety of assembly vignettes which best describe the essential structural concepts.
