A-E-C Interactions
57
Architectural proposal Engineering rationale Solution A-E Interaction: Cantilever System, Part 1
58
Preliminary Engineering Proposal Final Solution Architectural Requirements + Mentor Feedback A-E Interaction: Cantilever System, Part 2
59
Can we afford to lower the Auditorium? Problem: Cost increase of earthworks by 17% Solution: Use a site that naturally slopes and create a building that follows it. A-C Interaction: Auditorium
60
Preliminary Engineering Proposal Final Solution Construction Requirements + Mentor Feedback E-C Interaction: From Frame System to Flat Slab
61
E-C Interaction: Not dependable of weather Minimum erection time More expensive Transportation problems Last moment alterations possible Productivity rate can be fast Labor intensive Pre-cast vr Cast in-situ

Lessons Learned
63
Applying theory into practice Iteration, iteration, iteration… Negotiation is key When technology doesn’t work it’s not the end of the world. Adapt technology to suit your needs and conditions Lessons Learned
64
Distance is not a barrier No one is ever “always right” Ideas often come from outside your discipline Mentor feedback is crucial Trust your teammates Lessons Learned
