Bike Shed Aims

This game originated in the CUTS-D research project 'Reflective Making: Higher-Order Learning in Early Tertiary Architectural Education'. We wish to acknowledge the contribution of the members of the CUTS-D team at the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design who participated in its creation and development.

The aims are as follows.

  • gain an insight into some basic principles of Australian lightweight construction techniques
  • gain experience in deciding on appropriate member layouts, spans and spacings
  • gain experience in determining member spacings and sizes from load/span tables
  • develop an understanding of the relationships between aesthetic aims and construction issues.
