Attached is a literature review that didnt do well (2/10) and the instructions given on what to improve. Also attached is the project but only the Literature Review is needed.
This is the Summary of the project:
The need for a sitting area in the vicinity of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is an
issue that was highlighted by our group members and it was decided that a gazebo would be a
beneficial addition to the landscape. Members worked on different sections to produce a final
design of this gazebo.
A floor slab with concrete benches and wooden roof supports was the design that was found to
be the most suitable for this gazebo. Taking into consideration the weather elements and
environmental conditions of the said surroundings, this was deemed the most efficient design.
Members were all assigned tasks to undertake the various steps. A Design was first created after
which a material list was created and this was then used to create a bill of quantities to highlight
the amount of money that will be required for this undertaking.
Alternative solutions were also created in the event that they are needed. These solutions follow
the same baseline as the original gazebo, however, different materials will be used with small
tweaks in the design. Thorough research was also done to investigate the several constraints and
limitations that may hinder this project. Several advantages of constructing a gazebo in such a
prime location were also highlighted.
Objectives
The objective of this research was to enhance the comfort of the students of the Faculty of
Technology. But more specifically:
To determine whether having adequate Shelter and seating enhances student’s wellbeing.
To design a structure that will be both functional and aesthetically pleasing
