Finalised structural strategy

A composite column, beam and curtain wall system

I came across a joining system whereby three columns are festooned together by the pressure of connecting beams, with a metal plate running through the beams and columns, fastening to beams spanning a different axis. As this strategy allows beams in both directions to be level, and allows for an unusual column, where there is a thinner piece in the centre I thought this would be perfect for my project, as it could potentially allow for curtain walling frame work to be concealed and secured within it.

Though I developed this joining strategy studio I created a physical 1:5 model for the Tech part B submission. Photographed bellow.
