Project 2: Construction Solutions
Project 2 is aligned with the students’ current studio design project which aims to facilitate them in the technical studies of their design. Consists of two parts, the first part deals with the analysis and establishment of the structural and the envelope systems of the student’s design. This is to ensure that the design has logical and workable construction systems and at the same time encouraging students to include construction as part of the design and not just “tools” to build it. The second part is a continuation from the first where students need to show in the final presentation drawings of the project, evidence of the previous studies being implemented in the design. The main drawings for this part will be the detail sectional drawing of the design which is also one of the requirements of the design studio.
Project 2: Construction Solutions
Duration: 7 weeks
Objectives:
-
To encourage analytical and critical study of the principles, practices and details of building technology in the student’s own design.
-
To encourage students to consider the construction aspects throughout the design process.
-
To adapt and implement the alternative construction systems into the students’ design.
We were to study the construction systems and materiality based on our final project in design studio and propose the roof system, 2 facade system and structural system including the floor system for our project.
