PARTITION SYSTEM

I used these precedents to examine how I might create adjustable classrooms within the different spaces of my building. I used these as an example of how partition walls could be insterted in between the columns. Additonally thinking about how the wooden posts are bolted together and how it might support my horizontal panels

Exploring how the partition system works to create different working spaces for the students to use - Project space allows the students to divide the space dependant on what project they would like to complete. Looking in more detail how the panels will slide in between the 4 column frame.

Thinking about how the space was occupied and the activities taking place I created a digital collage to describe initial spatial ideas of the Project space

1. Detail highlights how the plywood timber panels fit into the 4 column timber frame - The vertical panels are slid in and held in compression by a valve spring on either side.
2. The horizontal timber panel is fitted onto a bolt shield - fitted to a thread rod and nut which is fixed to the wooden column. The timber panel is lowered in and then slotted onto the bolt sheild.
3. This detail explores how the columns are fixed to the floor - they sit within a steel shoe. They're held in place with a coach bolt; the steel shoe is then bolted to the ground witha through bolt.
