ADVANCED ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTION

1
INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM

Project 1 is a group project which is related to the topics of Industrialised Building Systems (IBS). We were required to design simple apartment units using the IBS construction system. The objective of this project is to expose and engage students in a critical and analytical study of the different IBS construction methods and engage students in the assessment of IBS scoring. Before embarking on this project we will be exposed to different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring in the classroom. Firstly, were are required to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components.

CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS

Project 2 is aligned with our 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 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 encourage us 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 detailed sectional drawing of the design which is also one of the requirements of the design studio.
