The document proposes requirements for a community hub building. It will have an angled roof to provide good visibility and sound distribution for performances. The core structure will be made of masonry brickwork for its attractive appearance, low maintenance, safety, and insulation. Additional materials include gum poles and marine ply. Gum poles can be used in various construction techniques.

1. A COMMUNITY HUB FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: The main idea together with the Wi-Fi core is to design a structure that the community can also utilise for the performing arts.To be able to do any kind of performing arts two aspects comes to mind namely clear visibility and good sound distribution. Fig 1 & 2 showing examples of angled roof planes which not only give a greater visibility but also reflects the sound Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3 & 4 showing elevated platforms/stages for better visibility of the performer Fig.4 Fig.3 NOEL WEHR STUDENT NO. 208032010 GROUP 8.

3. Most timbers show variation in colour.The texture of timber may be described as being coarse, fine, even or uneven. The main process affecting texture of the timber is the finishing applied during fabrication. Timber is a natural insulator. Air pockets within its cellular structure make timber a natural barrier to heat and cold.

4. In construction, marine plywood is a specially treated plywood that is designed to resist rotting in a high-moisture environment. Marine plywood is frequently used in the construction of docks and boats.NOEL WEHR STUDENT NO. 208032010 GROUP 8
