Oudry-Mesly Footbridge,Cre'teil,Paris,1987-1988
Researching in a wide span structure.First,we focused at the simply thing as a bridge,how it can built and stable in that long span with only the two foundations.The Oudry-Mesly Footbridge is the one we used as a case study,in arch,truss and steel stucture.By making a model and doing the structural analysis.
Our study concentrates to the structure bridge, which is unique from others because it is the composite structure. Not only the assembly sequence of tilting bridge, but the steelwork fabrication that we study about.
Canary Wharf Underground station, Lord Norman Foster
The station is built within the hollow of the former West India Dock using cut-and-cover construction techniques, and at 300m. in length is as long as Canary Wharf Tower is tall. At ground level, the entire roof of the station is laid out as a landscaped park, creating Canary Wharf’s principal public recreation space.
Our study pointed to the structure of the underground station; how they can build in the old dock which has effect from groundwater. In addition to, we want to analysis the arch.
Unite d’Habitation, Le Corbusier
The study focus on “le Modulor”, the human scale with architecture. Le corbusier’s theory try to create a perfect measure in architecture scale like the music scale. However, he did used his Modulor scale to design.
