The goals for class on Monday are to learn about as many of the buildings you analyzed as possible, and also to get started on A3, Structural System Variety.
Reviewing A2 Submissions
In three groups (see below) of your A2 teams you will look at and discuss a subset of the submissions, selecting one A2 team building group to present their building to the class.
- The selected group will then use their website to present their building to the entire class with five minutes of presentation time.
- That group will get 2 extra-credit points added to their score by the grader, making up for any deficiency in the grade – up to 100% total
- The groups are:
- Teams 1-4
- Teams 5-8
- Teams 9-12
- The criteria to consider for selecting the team to present include:
- Clear presentation of the building on the website
- Excellent presentation of the engineering & architectural challenges of the building
- Timing
| Task | Time |
| Each team reviews the website of the other three teams in their group | 8 min |
| Each group of four teams discusses the buildings | 8 min |
| Select one Team to present to the class | 4 min |
| Selected Teams have 5 min to prepare their presentation | 5 min |
| Selected Teams present to class (5 min present + 5 min Questions) | 30 min |
A3 Structural Variety Start
When we have completed the A2 review you’ll shift into your new teams for A3. We will:
- Review the criteria for the assignment – being clear about the expectations
- Discuss some of the issues with identifying structural systems this way
- All need a foundation as well – identifying typical foundations for your system is important
- Many are not complete above ground – e.g. bearing walls need horizontal members in addition. Identifying those additional components is important.
You will have the balance of the time to start actual work on the project.
