The intent of this project is to use the structural concepts studied in class and deploy these concepts to develop a long span structural solution. Understand structural fundamentals necessary to imagine and develop long span, large volume architecture. The excerise is an introduction to the structural concepts available to the designer to imagine and ultimately design long span, large volume architecture. The desire to create enclosure- space that is protected from the external environement-has continued to evolve, pressing for greater span and more imaginative solution. Scale and geomteric complexity create significant challenges unique to this sub-set of building typologies.Knowledge of the concepts, their strengths and the associated challenges in both design and construction, will enable the design decision-making process to arrive at appropriate solutions.
