Framing Stage: First Level + 2 staircases + 2nd Level





















First Level with two staircases



















First Level with Side Staircase


















Concerns: as of right now, the structure is already pretty heavy, I fear there may be structural problems simply becase of the shear weight of my building being a tower with cement veneer. I have one reinforcing rebar set into a caisson which is bolted to my cart (the other reinforcing rebar were in the way of my wood framing). Hopefully this will be sufficient for structural support.

PROJECT EVOLUTION

This is the process of how my project has evolved throughout Fall Quarter. The first few models are conceptual models and every model afterwards shows a new itteration of the same idea.
