Make this one a group project?
I could see it as a sketchup plan published in 3d so the "reader" can walk through and see joinery details. The fea could be a "movie" of typical loading scenarios. I'd bet it could be interactice allowing the user to input other loadings.
I think as something like that evolves within a large group ideas might start popping up? Then follow the parts that seem to work as a template.
