Interview with Arthur Remy by Anthony PersaudWhat gets my attention to Architecture is the structure, composition of the buildings and the designs. I find music, making beats, art, watching T.V., and going out all part of my daily life. I enjoy cooperating in any means necessary for my team and to deliver as much information that I possibly can. I wish to improve on being more socially and not being so lazy.

position.

• Movement is also caused by water current

EXPANSION

FAILURE

RETROFITTING DUE TO FAILURE.• -This picture is a clear example of

retrofitting.• -The initial wooden structure could

not support itself and hold on to the applying forces therefore it got tilted.

• -The thicker and taller post at the back was added to the initial design in order to help the structure from further failure.

• -The connection was made with a different kind of material but with the same logic. It was placed vertically right next to the wooden posts in order for the forces to be balanced.

REDESIGN FIX• In order to fix this part of the

fence going into the concrete, there would need to be an addition of caulking into the hole in order to prevent water from penetrating inside.
