Structural Description
The structural system of the building consists of concrete load bearing walls and glulam support columns to hold up the CLT panels used for the ceiling/ roof decking. Glulam columns support the exterior overhangs of the continuous CLT, spanning from the interior of the building. The structure sits on a slab-on-grade concrete foundation and below grade strip footings.
Roof Enclosure
CLT panels are used to create a rigid diaphragm supported by glulam columns. The columns are connected to the panels with metal fasteners. Rigid insulation and WRB with standing seam metal roofing capping the structure.
Wall Enclosure
Concrete LB walls are decorated with a gabion wall on stand-offs. In addition, the concrete wall slabs have geothermal piping running through them to creatr a radiant heating effect.
Overall
I can see you are trying to engage the mass timber material, which I appreciate. I think I need a 3D image of your project in context to understand the design intent. How does it address the prompt to create a design that engages natural and social phenomena? How did your environmental analysis impact the proposal?
Enclosure
Are these four buildings with four roofs? Or is the intent to connect the four with a single roof?
Take another pass at your column to roof attachment detail and include your vertical assembly (besides just the column).
I would really like to see how the gabion interfaces with your walls. I don’t see it anywhere in your drawings, but in the text it’s noted as decoration for the load bearing walls. Gabion is typically used for retaining walls, not as cladding. One could not support the weight of gabion with stand-offs.
Wall sections should stack (even if there is a break like) and include callouts, dimensions, and grid lines.
