Constructing environment (journal 3) Cong weili 625634In week 3 tutorial we visited four location in Melbourne uni.Firstly is about the ERC building.

./Figure1 Figure2 figure 3 figure4

The figure 1 is about the connection which connect the ERC and besidebuilding. The figure 2 is the basic material of the ERC. It is concrete. Therehave a space between every piece of concrete. It is used to the concreteexpansion. This kind of space also appear on the floor like figure 3. In figure 4,there has timber column to support the glass which connects the two buildings.There have steel columns in ERC to support the roof of the connection. TheERC building is mass construction. It also has timber beam to connect this twobuildings. The acoustic liner could absorb noise.

Figure 5 figure 6 figure 7 figure8On the way the location 2, tutor introduce us these two buildings. The figure 5shows us the glass wall. The columns support the weight and the glass doesnot supports anything. It just for the artistic. Figure 6 shows us the steel beamswhich support the weight. Figure 7 is about the MSLE building. It also connectsthe building which beside it. However, it is not like ERC. This two building areconnected by the steel. The concrete beam supports the weight. There havezinc and steel form equipped on this building. In the following graph. It is

shows us the timber beamt of the building. The board 1 is

the timber boards which could support the beam 2. Theconcrete beam connects these two buildings and supports

the the eight. It is also the mass construction.

Figure9 figure 10 figure 11Figure 9 is about the steel which supports the second floor of the building. Itmakes sure the concrete could fastness. The figure 10 is one kind of theconcrete. However, it looks like the timber. Figure 11 is another building whichhas concrete form support the weight and the glass is just for the artistic.

Figure 12 figure 13 figure 14Figure 12 is about the concrete foundation of the building. Figure 13 is location3, the picture shows us the timber board which helps the concrete column tosupport the weight. It is also the mass construction.

Figure 5 figure 16 figure 17 figure 18Figure 15 is the last location for our site visit. It is also connect two and it ismass construction. Figure 16 has the sun plate which produced by steel andabsorb sunshine. The glass in figure 17 is strong. The glass is different fromthe figure 5 and figure 11. This kind of glass is very strong and it is support theweight of the building. It lets the sunshine into room.
