BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 1 [ARC 1523]

 

 


-The design process is ongoing from conceptual design stage right through to construction. The preparation of construction drawings plays an important role in this process.

 

Objectives of Project:
The objectives of this project are as follows:
To introduce basic principles and procedures of construction process through real life project (experiential learning)
To understand the sequence and coordination of construction at site
To expose students to construction technology/methods responding to site context
To allow student to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of construction, material and technology
To train students to produce manual sketches, drawings and detailing relating to EXISTING construction


Learning Outcomes of this Project
Produce a complete documentation (pictures, sketches and drawing) and analysis of construction elements
Understand and explain construction elements and its components.
Understand current construction technology on local construction sites
Explain current material and technology in relevance to present construction industry

 

Assignment 2: Integrated Construction Detailing/Drawings

 

Introduction:

-This project is a continuation of the first project-an integrated project where it involves construction detailing solution for final project in design studio. This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding of construction and
application from prior project. Emphasis in producing related manual construction drawing.


Technical knowledge is viewed as something separate from design. One of the aims of this assignment is to develop an awareness and understanding of the strong interrelationship between these two areas of study. Critical success of any design project relies on a designer’s ability to address issues of appropriate methods of construction, integration of structure and the selection of materials whilst addressing the many other complex issues that are part of the design process.

 

This assignment will enable you to develop and demonstrate some knowledge of construction, materials and structural theory in a small scale design project.


Objectives of Assignment:
To develop an understanding of the structural elements in construction and its application in the construction industry.
To apply suitable construction elements, material and detail/joint solutions suitable for a specific design.
To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of build ability.
To demonstrate awareness of how buildings are developed in response to practical considerations.
To demonstrate certain level of manual drawing and sketching skills.
To allow student to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of construction, material and technology.
To encourage students to produce manual sketches, drawings and detailing relating to construction.

 

Learning Outcomes:
Select suitable structural elements for their design project.
Design and apply a structural element for their design project.
