Decoding the structure of Gandhi Hall, GC

As part of the mandatory course Gandhi Hall Gujarat College was documented, its structure was studied and wall section was made at 1:20 scale. With these drawings we attempted to figure out how each component, each brick, each rafter, was behaving and helping towards keeping the building upright. These mechanisms were shown using diagrams.
