BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1

 

Project 1 

THE INDUSTRALISED BUILDING SYSTEM:

​

​

This is a group assignment which explores the concept and application of the IBS.We were required to explore and accustom ourselves to different types and methods of IBS systems and as well as the introduction to the IBS scoring and calculations. We were tasked to design a 3 storey apartment block using only IBS components then construct and build a model and to record its process as well to finally calculate the final score all of which are documented in the video below.

Project 2

CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS:

​

​

This assignment is aligned with the Studio Design Project (semester 4 and 5) 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. Most of the times amateur designers tend to design their spaces without thinking about the construction aspects and later on have to change and redesign their schemes due to the designs were unbuildable. This assignment was designed with the intention to tackle this issue and to increase the technical competency of students.
