Site visit PAVILION

Opened: 14th October 2000
Architect: McGlashen Everist Pty Ltd
Structure: Geelong Carousel Pavilion
Location: Geelong water front


my images shows the connections in the structure, they are simple compared to those found in my last site visit (the Convention Center), however this is expected from a smaller structure. the bracing in this image is an important aspect as it acts against the up lift loads that act on the structure, which due to the location and design of the structure would be considerable. it also shows one example of how a hollow section would be connected, flattened and them bolted to the connecting element. it also shows how glass mets the structure as well as shown the roofing elements, which consist of element such as purlins and a covering which here is plywood and clear meshed areas.
