The choice for wood is due to the fact that it is a better material suited for environments with high salinity and, in this context, to reduce maintenance costs. The entire roof was supported only by four columns, which forced the side and frontal beams to exceed spans over 18 meters without intermediate supports. This was the most important challenge of the project： to find a section to the beam which can attend the ultimate limit state and serviceability in wood to the dimensions in project. The answer was clear： It would need to have composed section. A computational model was constructed using the finite element method in order to obtain the efforts on the structural elements. It is important to emphasize that the design of a wood structure requires not only knowledge, but creativity as well, to overcome the challenges posed by the distinctive needs to the detailing of this material. In addition to that, it requires special attention during the construction execution, because of the difficulty that the carpenters have to read the specific plans.展开更多

Interior environment design of buildings is one of the manifestations of life quality, and furniture is one of the important elements composing interior design. In order to realize using the lowest cost to enjoy the best home life, the paper discusses sustainable design methods from different perspectives, and uses science and technology to integrate art, culture and nature. For the development status of furniture market, the paper researches how to solve the problems faced by furniture market by sustainable design, for achieving continuable, recycle and recoverable objective to control cost and enrich home life of consumer.展开更多
