WEEK 13 - MATERIALS



A hollow concret core slab is intended to be used for floor and ceiling construction as it serves as a load bearing. All central functions are to be constructed with the same materials, which includes stair wells, elevator shafts and exterior walls. By doing this all interior walls will not have to have load bearing capacities, allowing residential interior fit outs to be altered to suit needs of future residence at an efficient and low cost.

All materials will be re-cycled to lower energy consumption of producing materials from scratch. All selected materials can be sourced locally to Brisbane, as a result lowing transportation costs, fuel consumption and overall carbon footprint.
