3d outcome process: Wood workshop

-


 

After making this small representation of the dimensions of my outcome. I started drawing on the wood.

I drew the floor plans whilst taking into consideration the scale. 
I chose a 1:50 scale

final project: seismic isolation structure, how does it work?

-

           Severe earthquakes often result in significant damage to buildings,  infrastructures, and cause casualties. For example, the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in Japan caused over 20,000 deaths and missing, and 190,000 buildings were damaged (Okada et al., 2011; Takewaki et al., 2011). Protecting building structures under earthquakes is of great concern in earthquake-prone countries (Mazzolani, 2001; Azinovic et al., 2016; Tesfamariam, 2022; Zhang et al., 2022). To address this challenge, building isolation systems are applied to mitigate seismic hazards (Morgan, 2007; Mohammed and Mohd, 2011; Takewaki et al., 2013). The aim of applying building isolation is to reduce either the storey or inter-storey vibrations transmitted from the seismic ground motions (Hu, 2014). In practice, two types of passive building isolation systems are commonly used, which are the base isolation system (Jangid and Datta, 1995; Deb, 2004) and the super-structure isolation s...

The David Wilson library: the existing library at the University of leicester

  The David Wilson Library, Leicester This is the library that is currently functioning at the University of Leicester. To be frank, It is not old at all, According to Associated Architects (2023) the project was completed in 2008 with a total value of 25 million pounds. I can see the beauty of this project since it is coherent with the environment around it; its design goes with the engineering building which is right next to it. (My picture, sourced from Google Earth) According to Associated Architects(2023), this library comprises 38 kilometers of shelving that allows for a 20-year expansion in the printed collections, 1,500 reader places of all kinds (including a dedicated Postgraduate Area, IT training, and group study rooms), and a student development zone with the Student Learning Centre, Careers Service, bookshop, café, 500-seat lecture theatre, seminar rooms, Accessibility Centre, and Special Collections Archive. Which makes it a general library for all courses, and that i...

sustainability: alternatives to Concrete

-
Image
click on the image for the link  It is well known that concrete is not a friend to nature, since its production has a considerably high carbon emission rate, According to (Anon, 2023), CO2 emissions caused by concrete production globally are around 8 per cent, and the reason behind this is cement production, which is a crucial component of concrete, it requires a high-temperature kiln for its creation. After researching this topic, I found a few alternatives, and I will take you through my process of thinking about which one(s) will suit my project best. Low-carbon concrete: By mixing collected CO2 into the concrete, the Canadian company CarbonCure produces low-carbon concrete. Industrial emitters absorb CO2 from the environment and use it to chemically change it into a nano-mineral. It is subsequently incorporated into the concrete, strengthening the substance. The method significantly reduces CO2 emissions in both the concrete production process and the atmosphere since less ceme...
