In a group of 5, we were to construct a Temporary Bus Shelter based on the below specifications:
- Scale- the shelter was to accommodate 5-6 people with a maximum height of 600mm and a base (400x800) mm
- Construction- the shelter was to define all building components e.g. roof, columns, walls and floor
- Form
- Joints that had to reflect actual joint requirements
- Recycled materials
- and other design components e.g. weather resistance, easy access to the site etc.
We were to submit a 1:5 model of the shelter together with an A3 bound report and a soft copy CD attached with the hardcopy.
Our group chose 2 forms; rectangular prism shape outline for the shelter and a triangular prism shape for the roof.

Project 2: Understanding Forces in Building Construction
In constructing the temporary bus shelter, the materials we used were concrete for the foundation, timber for the overall structure and clear acrylic sheets for the roof.
For the joints and connections, we used bolts to attach floor beams to the columns. To connect the floor joists to the rim joists, we used brackets, joist hangers and nails. Nails were also used on the decking. For the roof system the ridge board was connected to the columns using bolts and nuts. Notching was also used on the roof connections.
Below are photos showing our progressive building of the shelter.

Project 2: Understanding Forces in Building Construction
This project was based on grid shell and tensile construction methods. In a group of three, we were to select a relevant case study of a building of our own choice. We were then required to dissect a model and come up with an analysis of the construction methods used in the building. The analysis comprised structural system , material, function and load distribution
Our group chose the German Pavilion Expo Milan 2015 as our case study building.
