BUILDING TECHNOLOGY I
SEMESTER 5
PROJECT 1 : INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM
This is a group assignment which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (IBS). Before embarking on this project students will be exposed to different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring in the classroom. First, the group are require to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components. The group has to construct a physical sectional model of the building to show the IBS components in detail.
PROJECT 2 : CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS
This assignment is aligned with the Studio Design V and aims to facilitate students in the technical studies and development of their design. It deals with the analysis and establishment of the structural and the envelope systems of the student’s design to ensure that the design has logical and workable construction systems. It also encourages students to think about construction as integral part of the design and not just an afterthought.
