Building Construction 2

Project 1 : Skeletal Tower
For our first assignment, we were given the task to experience and understand skeletal construction as one of the most widely used structures for building support. By using less than 100 popsicles sticks to construct a tower with a 30cm height. With no glue used as part of reinforcement. As we placed loads on top of the tower to see how much load can it bear before it breaks.

Project 2 : Solid and Surface Construction
Being given the option 'Solid Construction,' we chosen the Bechtler Museum by Mario Botta as our  building choice, coming up with an analysis of the construction methods used in the building. Our analysis should comprise structural system, material, function and load distribution in the building.
