Week 7 saw the first phases of the structural model begin. To begin with, the major structural framework from the existing framework was kept, sticking to the original gridlines and utilising as many of the existing columns as possible. However this was not possible in some areas of the new model, due to the large courtyard and open walkways.

This week I worked on the major framework for Levels 1 + 2 (Image Below), with the joists and beam systems to be put in the following week. Both levels had roughly the same floor layout, so the columns and beams lined up very well. I had an issue with placing the joist beam systems though, as I could not find the appropriate view to work in when drafting the system. This is something that I will have to look up for the following week.
