Geelong Carosel
Shows the underneith of the roof. Steel beams are used to support the roof in-between the main structure. The huge structural beams and columns are counteracting for the glass walls which wouldn't be load bearing.
Geelong Carosel
The detail of the joints show the building is able to move if there is strong winds and effects the building. Being on the shore it would need connections like this because of the strong winds that it would have to stand up to.
Geelong Carosel
A detail of one of the corners. Huge bolts have been used as the main connection style. Steel has been used mostly likely because of the lightness and the easiness to create such a shape as this with the material.
Site Visit- Carosel
The facade of the Geelong Carosel. The structure of the building is completely visible. The skin has a transluscent style to it.
Tilt Up Panels- Hope St and Latrobe Tce
A connection that is ready for beams and the rest of the structure to be attatched. Having these cast into the panels makes it easier to build the rest of the building if the supports are already there.

The panels are up and are supported until the rest of the structure is put up so they can stand up on their own.

SIte Visit- The Pour
The huge shoot that pumped the concrete out. It appeared from watching the work men this is an easy way of using the shoot compared to the one you manually pull along yourself. Its easier to move and doesnt need so much muscles and manual work. One person can do it on there own.

These guys are moving the cement around and flattening out the slab so its al smooth.

The workers. One is holding the shoot which the concrete comes out of, another is holding the vibrator which compacts all the wet concrete to get the air out of it.
They started at one end of the building, which is a seperate room to the rest of the building.
Site Visit
This shows the spray paint on the ground which map out where they have to build the ground up ready for the slab to go on. They have done some already.
