eco campaign 2015 eco ideas proposal competition
first runner-up
19 June 2015
In this varsity-level competition, participants from all schools present their ideas on ways to decreasing carbon-emission, urban heat island effect and other negative impacts on our environment through ways of waste management, innovative technology or any other methods.
Our team's idea is to revolutionize residential housing plans by redirecting waste from housing units to an urban farming zone. Agriculture with close proximity to the living areas produces organic food back to the residents. This decreases the demand of transportation of food from other places and fully utilize waste as fertilizer, thus making residential houses more self-sustainable.

building structures
project 1: roof truss
A truss is a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other types of structure. It consists of three or more members which are considered being pinned and hinged at the joints. Load applied to the truss is transmitted to the joints so that each individual members are in either pure tension or compression.
This project develops our understanding on the potential of truss systems and its force distribution within. Based on Victor, one of our team member's previous project, we modified its roof and proposed a truss system to support its loads based on minimal material and simple aesthetic principles.

Pratt, Bowstring and customly modified trusses are utilized in the new proposed roof of the visitor interpretive centre. In this project, we explored and applied our understanding of load distribution in a truss for this design. The analysis and study conducted made us able to evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure.
Different arrangement of members are also explored to maximize the truss design's efficiency in response to the building's design. Here we realised aesthetic beauty and practicality of a structure are correlated, interdependent on one another as an overall.
