DESIGN CRITERIA & RATIONALE exposed fire resistant construction irregular building form
simple, site-fabricated systems systems without beams in roofs or floors pre-cast concrete systems without ribs short-span, one-way, easily modified quickly erected, avoid site-cast concrete or masonry easily formed or built on site; avoid steel, pre-cast or heavy timber no masonry highly pre-fabricated; MODULAR components; no steel space frame, no lite timber lightweight, easily formed or prefabricated; NO concrete pre-cast, site-cast concrete; steel frames strong; prefabricated; lightweight; STEEL capable of forming RIGID joints
permit construction in poor weather minimize off-site fabrication time minimize on-site erection time
minimize damage due to foundation settlement minimize number of separate trades on job
systems that inherently provide voids two-way, long span systems long span systems multipurpose components (simple wood frame; masonry)
provide concealed space for mechanical services minimize the number of supports long spans
