Hello people, it’s Felipe here again, today I’m going to talk about structure, a subject that I really enjoyed this semester. This subject links so many subjects, some math, physics, geometry and environmental things. First in the semester we have an introduction to materials, like how is structure the concrete and wood, insulating proprieties, how to reach the maximum comfort for the people inside the building and a bit of the legal part of construction. For the first evaluated work we needed to analyze an existing building of Aravena and investigate how this construction works and if it reach the comfort for the people. Then in class we started calculating the buildings, for that we use mathematics and physics to resolve it and know if the building can stay built. For the second mark we did a test in which we needed to analyze a building and calculate another one. currently we are working in a structure made of steel, we need to calculate the forces involved to know the size of the parts and then make a model in 1:20 scale, and it’s going to be evaluated tomorrow!.
But despite
of all the liability this subject is very fun to me and it’s very important to
know how the buildings are made and how the material work in it, is awesome!
