A 1 Step Guide on How to Drop the Ball

As it turns out, many of us loaded semi-useless and irrelevant images to our online collections.
Below are a few images that I originally deemed boring, these later turned out just what the Doctor ordered.

Exterior of the Kensington Community Centre Indoor Basketball Court.

A large concrete box, no? Yes.

Interior of the Kensington Community Centre Indoor Basketball Court.

This is more like it. Not quite a portal frame system and more of truss system but still an impressive space.

Detail of the Truss-To-Wall connection.

Hope fully some details on how the truss system connects to the wall is visible here. Notice the safety mesh, foil insulation and the relation between truss placing and window location.

But wait there's more!

Pictured below is an in-class drawing of a very basic portal frame. Given to us were the locations and drawings of the roof sheeting and concrete wall paneling, it was up to us to complete the structural details. Below is my attempt, I have yet to check whether this is correct or not. If someone knows, or can point me in the right direction; leave a comment, or don't, I guess I can't really tell you what to do.
