Journal Entry For
Module 8 - Structural Framing Systems
  • Desigen strategy

I selected structural walls as many as possible and reduced the number of columns in order to give the rooms more space. I chose the timber framing system so that the building has more sustainable material. In addition, I placed many big columns faced to the main entrance, which can make the building more impressive. Timber beams are placed below the floor, thereby they are completely visible by users. It also helps to create a sophisticated atmosphere inside of the building.
