Building Construction I

Project 1: Experiencing Construction

In a group of 8, we were to select an on-going construction site that visibly demonstrates most of the subject topics covered in our syllabus. The selected site/building had to be a low rise building with maximum 4 storeys. With this we were to identify and study the construction processes, building materials and details; producing a report that documents the following information and investigation.

REFLECTION


Through this project, I now have a better understanding of the different processes, details, technology as well as materials towards the construction industry. It has offered me an insight on the importance of what i have learnt throughout this project and how it might effect our designs in the future.



Project 2: Construction Detail and Specification


This project was integrated with Architectural Studio II, a project that allowed us to research and demonstrate our understanding of application in constructions; applying it onto our final project's construction details. The content of the A2 board was to be drawn and written manually.


Below is my A2 board, showing the construction details of my model






REFLECTION


Upon completion of this project, I am now able to select suitable structural elements and apply it to my design project. Furthermore, I have also improved in my manual drawings and model making skills.
