The aim of the design exercise is to develop a proposal for a new connection system inthe main hall of the FHNW Muttenz.

The connection system is additional to the existing standard staircases and elevators in thecores of the building. The main function is to provide a quick connection betweendifferent levels of the building and to increase the interaction between the various users ofthe building. For this reason, the connection system should also include some publicprogram like, for example, some seating areas (max. 20 people), a small cafe area (max. 10people) or a small open auditorium (max. 20 people).

All the first four levels (0-3) of the building should be linked to the new connectionsystem. The connection system should be supported according to the given boundaryconditions.

Task 4 – Refine Design Concept 3D

Conceptual design of a connection system for the FHNW Muttenz as 3D schemes (Submission by Wednesday, 2.12.2020, 24:00, on the Polybox)

a) Refine your 3D strut-and-tie model with a more precise distribution of the vertical applied loads (in particular considering self-weight).

b) Describe in words how your structure can also resist asymmetric loads (Textbox page 1)

c) Build a 3D digital or a “working” physical model of your connection system.

d) Represent your connection system in a precise way, in section (page 1 in 1:200), the most relevant plan (page 2 in 1:200) and axonometric view or perspective (page 3). Indicate the access to the connection system, the vertical connections, as well as the architectural program. Add annotations that specify the material(s).

e) Overlay your 3D strut-and-tie model developed in step a) on top of the three drawings as mentioned in d) (page 4, 5, 6).

f) Develop the force diagram of at least two relevant nodes of the 3D strut-and-tie model (page 7).
