This  picture  shows  that  there  is  founda<on  work  in  progress.  It  is  a  shallow  founda<on.  This  is  because  the  soil  is  rela<vely  stable.  With  this  system,  the  load  is  ver<cally  transferred  directly  to  the  suppor<ng  soil.    

Oval  Pavilion    

The  beams  are  used  for  construc<ng  load  bearing  walls  and  the  <mber  would  leave  a  paDern  finish  

This  picture  shows  the  layer  under  the  floor,  which  is  made  of  white  concrete.  As  seen  on  site,  there  were  also  white  tubes  for  electrical  power.  There  are  two  layers  of  reinforcement  because  as  the  span  of  the  concrete  slab  increase  in  width,  extra  reinforcement  is  needed  with  thick  concrete.

Poten<al  Construc<on  Constraints:  Space  of  link  cannot  be  bigger.  This  is  because  the  buildings  built  next  to  it  are  constraining  it.      Links  to  other  buildings:  The  concrete  roof  of  this  link  is  the  link  to  other  buildings.      Construc<on  type:  This  link  required  some  complex  construc<on  of  beams  and  columns.  Can<levers  are  used  too  in  building  the  roof.    Structural  Systems:  Framed  structure,  Lateral  stability  taken  into  considera<on    Materials:  Steel,  Glass,  Wood,  Steel  Beams,  Concrete  floors  

MSLE  Building  (Link  Between  Buildings)  

Poten<al  Construc<on  Constraints:  Space  of  link  cannot  be  bigger.  This  is  because  the  buildings  built  next  to  it  are  constraining  it.      Construc<on  type:  This  link  uses  mass  construc<on  with  the  concept  of  compression.      Structural  Systems:  Framed  structure,  Lateral  stability  taken  into  considera<on,  can<levers  used  inside  the  building    Materials:  Concrete,  bricks,  hollow  plaster  walls,  steel,  glass  

Poten<al  construc<on  constraints:  Can  only  be  built  higher  if  any  expansion  is  required.  This  is  due  to  the  buildings  built  next  to  it.      Materials:  steel,  glass,  concrete  beams    Construc<on  type:  Cladding  is  used  on  the  walls  of  the  building.    Structural  System:  Steel  frame,  column
