JEANNE+KYLE STRUCTURE
STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION:
The café/pavilion structure utilizes a series of bearing rammed earth cavity walls for its primary structure. These walls are formed around a series of light-gauge truss framing within the cavity, providing a permanent structure of formwork. The rammed earth will be mixed with cement for structural stability and erosion prevention. The foundation will be spread footings dimensioned per geotechnical and structural requirements. The slab is poured-in place concrete. The roof framing are deep, pour-in-place concrete beams that are tied into the load bearing walls. The roof deck is a pour-in-place concrete construction that matches the beam assembly.
Wait, are you using timber?
The parapet detail is incorrect, your framing plan’s dimensions are unit-less, and I am confused about what your proposal is. A site plan or 3D image in context would do wonders for my review. Your wall section is not bad, graphically-speaking (although it is missing dimensions and grids), but the detailing could be refined more.
I think if you are going to deviate from the studio’s curriculum, you need have your proposed system really worked out. We can discuss in more detail this afternoon.
How does your design engage natural and social phenomena? Do you leverage data?
