The college block can be developed with steel or concrete or a combination of both. The college block has a plan dimension of 50m by 24 m. The span of the beams and columns can be chosen based on RC or steel frame. Outside the college building, there is a space to be used for exhibitions which needs to be covered with a tensile structure. Provide two different design solutions for the exhibition space roof in the given scenario and compare those solutions to the given scenario.
