Fabrication Lab

The Year l & ll Architectural Technology students did their Technology of Architecture module in the Fabrication Lab, they learnt how to use different materials and where the materials lie within the building structure. In these images we see them working in the Metal Shop preparing Joist Hangers. Joist Hangers are used to strengthen load bearing or non load bearing timber connections as well as to use face mount attachments to fasten joists to ledger boards and beams. 😃The students needed to model these joists in preparation for assembling a 1:2 house frame.
