Theory of structures
a study of understanding how built forms stand and the mechanics that back them.
We began with understanding how basic elements like columns and beams make and support the structures around us. The weight of the structure is held by these members that have ways distributing it slowly and evenly. They withstand several different forces in the process and hold together what we understand as a- structure.
through the course, we learnt about the mechanics of buildings and structures and how weight was effectively distributed and the forms stood in place. Later as we moved to understanding the homes we live in and their structural explanations. The identification of structural members, load-bearing or not and running out to finding the plans of our building was a exploratory process. Here are some of the notes:
