Structures impact landscape features and vise versa.

Remember that principles don't change. Much like with the last lecture from Steintec, keep in mind that early engagement with other disciplines is crucial.

Always protect yourself.

Key takeaways:

• Biodiversity and carbon reduction objectives can also work against each other- but collaboration between disciplines can mitigate this 

• All below surface build-ups including insulation, water proofing, and protective membranes are to Architect’s detail and specification. Structures to Engineers detail and specification

• Know the details of these technical terms: Columns, Beams, Trusses, Simple/fixed supported elements, braced/unbraced structures, splice/moment/simple connections, transfer elements, etc.

• Think of materials in terms of tension/ compression

• Design Principles: Soil bearing capacity, Settlement, Soil structure interaction, Contamination/ Gas membranes/ Water table (geotechnical team) 

• Retaining walls
