Structural [A head] The structural section in the UBC – ITC Health Club Expansion project contains information primarily associated to providing structural support for the roof system and screen wall. In addition, the foundation plan shows the necessary load bearing construction for supporting these structural items. It is important to understand the details, elevations, section and other drawings to construct the building as intended. General Notes and Abbreviations [B head] The General Notes…

of the Northwest Corner Building was already taken by the Gymnasium, a huge column free space which used to hold basketball races and indoor ceremonies instead of a vacant lot in the campus. This put a really serious problem on the table, how can architect constructing a new building above the gym without penetrating the existing structure and affecting the function of the gym above? Moneo give us a perfect solution by using diagonal cross-bracing at the perimeter. An enormous steel truss forms…

The development in the construction industry has made engineers, architects and designers very creative and ambitious in building projects. The designs are becoming innovative and attractive. To achieve this, tremendous amount of weight placed was on materials leading to their inability to bear this significant weight. Consequently, to be able to achieve the structural design and strength engineers developed the truss. Trusses are web-shaped structures that are able to bear tremendous weight.…

Architects play a role in shaping the future of society by the structures that they create. By creating the buildings of the future, they are creating the society of the future as well.
