Lancer Bistro – Proposed Temporary Canopy Design
Dates: January 20–25, 2021
Project Type: Conceptual Design and CAD Drafting
Structure Type: Temporary Wood-Framed Canopy
Project Overview
Developed a proposed design for a temporary canopy at the Lancer Bistro. The concept used wood framing, precast concrete deck blocks, and corrugated PVC roofing panels to create a practical, lightweight shelter that could be assembled without a permanent foundation.
Project Personnel
Technical Engineering Sergeant: SGT Andrade
Construction Technician: WO1 Llorens
CAD Designer: PFC Peña
My Role & Contributions
Prepared the project’s CAD drawing and translated the proposed canopy concept into a clear technical design. The drawing communicated the structure’s overall configuration, framing arrangement, foundation approach, and roofing system for review and potential construction.
