Citation preview
WEEK 3 STUDIO JOURNAL
• This weeks tutorial
encompassed a ‘Case study site
visit’
• This was an essential session
as we were on site interacting
with our built environment and
witnessing the process of
construction on a large scale.
WEEK 3 STUDIO JOURNAL
• Interesting roof design, which
links to the stone wall of the ERC
library
• Student centre is wedged
between two buildings: ERC and
Doug McDonnell. Linkage
between the two.
• Framed construction type.
• Structural system of roof
maintains a suspended steel rigid
frame.

Steel rigid frame:
perpendicular to
regular frames.
Glass sheet
gives an open
space feel, and
good protection.
modern design.
WEEK 3 STUDIO JOURNAL
MSLE building Very similar linkage of two
buildings like the Eastern
precinct student centre.
The entrance to the
MSLE gives the
impression of being
squished between two
buildings. However
upon entrance this
corridor/lobby entrance
opens to a wide space,
providing a link
between the buildings
on its left and right, as
it is joint to both.
Flat roof design
hence runoff and
stormwater directed
via pipe system as
drainage.
Interesting pipe system
directing chemical fumes
and gases from
laboratories. On the
L.H.S of the entrance.
WEEK 3 STUDIO JOURNAL
Queens college extension
Stimulating site analysis as it is
almost like a cross section of a
building. Able to view it in a
stage of construction.
Asphalt being watered. Good
surface for waterproofing.
Concrete
slab walls
(heavy) put
in place
most
probably via
tilt-up
method.
Timber framing, used as
framework on side of roof.

Ormond theology centre reception Alternate exit of centre: similar
linkage as seen in MSLE and
Eastern precinct sc.

wall, glass
squares set into
steel framework.
The ‘glass
wall’ is not a
load bearing
wall as it
transfers its
load to
another
framework.

WEEK 3 STUDIO JOURNAL
Oval Pavilion Site visit
• Important case study on structural materials and the construction
process of buildings.
• Able to catch a glimpse into the stages of construction and the carefully
structured process in which a building takes form.
WEEK 3 STUDIO JOURNAL
• Thick concrete slab,
99% of all surfaces is
within the slab. Crucial
basis for the pavilion.
• 12mm bars, ligatures.
• Waterproofing occurs
at the base of concrete
slab to prevent leaking
and flooding in
basement.
• 100mm thick at
basement.
• 230mm thick to
ground level, thicker
due to increase in
span. (to scale)
