structural objective• Limiting deformations• Vibrations prevent • The passage of time.
Structural typology
We are refering to its geometry, depending mainly on its use, taking into account the maximum material efficiency, and minimum obstruction space.

Framed StructureA framed structure in any material is one that is made
stable by a skeleton that is able to stand by itself as a rigid structure without depending on floors or walls to resist deformation. Materials such as wood, steel, and reinforced concrete, which are strong in both tension and compression.

The heavy timber frame, in which large posts, spaced relatively far apart, support
thick floors and roof beams.
In the heavy-timber system, the beams are strong enough to allow the upper story and
roof to project beyond the plane of the ground-floor posts, increasing the space and
weather protection. The members are usually exposed on the exterior.

Composed of many small and closely spaced
members that could be handled easily and assembled quickly by nailing instead of by the
slow joinery and dowelling of the past. Construction is similar in the two systems, since
they are both based on the post-and-lintel principle . Posts must rest on a level, waterproof
foundation, usually composed of masonry or concrete, on which the sill (base member) is
attached
The
light
fram
e The light frame, however, is sheathed
with vertical or horizontal boarding or shingling, which is jointed or overlapped for weather protection. Sheathing helps to brace as well as to protect the frame,
so the frame is not structurally independent as in steel frame
construction. The light frame system has not been significantly improved since its
introduction, and it lags behind other modern techniques
Stee
l fra
min
g Steel framing is based on the same principle
but is much simplified by the far greater strength of the material, which provides more
rigidity with fewer members. The load-bearing capacity of steel is adopted for
buildings many times higher than those made of other materials. Because the column and
beam are fused by riveting or welding , stresses are distributed between them, and
both can be longer and lighter than in structures in which they work independently
as post-and-lintel.

Since structural steel must be protected from
corrosion, the skeleton is either covered by curtain
walls or surfaced in concrete or, more rarely,
painted. The steel frame is used also in single story
buildings where large spans are required
The simple cube then can be
abandoned for covering systems employing arches, trusses, and other
elements in a limitless variety of
forms in order to suit the functions of the
building.
