Your Design Journal entries this week should highlight your design thinking that influenced your decisions about:
- your overall strategy and the features of the structural system
- the material and framing system selected
- the locations of structural columns and major framing elements
- any special structural challenges
The structural design of my exhibition space is pretty straightforward, using a concrete foundation for stability and steel columns with thick beams to support a large number of people. I followed a rectangular grid system to evenly distribute loads, and I added shear walls to help with wind and seismic stability. The goal was to keep the structure strong and functional while allowing for open interior spaces. While there’s nothing super unique about the design, I focused on making it durable, practical, and easy to build.
