This is the only article I've read during the semester, it is about Frank Lloyd's Fallingwater. This article reveals the construction process of the restoration of Fallingwater's cantilever structural failure.

Major Project & Conclusion to SRT 251
After completing this project, i soon realize that the previous tutorial drawings and lecture notes helped a lot to complete the task. Three months ago, I went to the Bunning's Warehouse, not knowing the elements inside the building. Now, I am able to tell what type of structure they are using, C-Girts, UBs, Purlins etc. I've utilize the knowledge that i've learned from the tutorial and lecture, applied it on the assignment and learnt a lot when I start building the model.
I also realized that, designing architecture without the knowledge of construction is pointless, therefore i am very happy of what i've learn through out this unit during the semester. This unit has broaden my knowledge on construction, and as soon as i am designing, i am able to apply what type of structure to support my design which i couldnt have done without studying this unit. The assignment of this unit allowed me to learn a lot about construction, and visiting sites as its required for the blog, also allowed me to experience the situation that CMs are working in.
Thanks to unit chair lecturer: Jeremy Ham
