Experimental Model

The following photos show what the roof would look like on the model and how it will allow light into the building. I found that only one major shaft of light was coming through the middle where the gap was largest between to louvres. After noticing this my tutor and I agreed that the gaps should be at a greater distance, EG modules of 600mm, 1200mm and 1800mm. I had to also choose a material for the roof that was relevant to the design and still be somewhat achievable in terms of structural stability. We chose 900mm I Beams prestressed within large slabs of concrete spanning over 9.4 metres.
