project TWO.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
1. Analyse and document construction methods and materials
2. Evaluate existing construction system and detailing of the selected project.
3. Critique issues pertaining to construction principles, materials, techniques, codes of practice, process of assembly, and detailing. 8. Generate alternative construction solutions by means of sketches and drawings.
Objectives of Project
1. To encourage analytical and critical study of the principles, practices and details of building technology in student’s own design.
2. To encourage students to consider the construction aspects throughout the design process.
3. To adapt and implement the alternative construction systems into the students’ design.
Task 1: Assignment 2 (a)
Conduct some precedent studies of construction systems that you would like to apply in the design. They should include the following:
A) the roof system,
B) the wall/envelope system (at least 2 systems),
C) the flooring system, and
D) the structural system
Task 2: Assignment 2 (b)
The final design in the studio may not be exactly similar to any of the façade design alternatives in Assignment 2(a) as it is subjected to the individual design tutor’s discretion and last minute changes and this assignment is only meant to assist you in the development of the design.
Assignment 2(b) on the other hand is more integrated with the final design as all the submission requirements will be submitted together in the studio on a specific technical studies presentation board.
