Building Construction 1 ：Detailing and Building Specifications

This project is a continuation of the first project-an integrated project where it involves 
construction detailing solution for Project 2b in Architecture Studio 2. 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 for STEEL and/or TIMBER detail and specification. 

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. 

Submission Requirement 

 

• A2 presentation board containing the following: Scaled, manually drafted, 

 drawings of your developed scheme showing the integration of the construction 

 systems proposed, including site section (as per studio requirement or scale 1:50.) 

• Provide at least one cross section at 1:20 (or appropriate scale) 

• 3 nos. of detail drawings of selected elements. 

• Specifications of materials. 

• Complete Project 2 tutorial log sheet. 

• Drawing and sketches are meant to provide visual documentation and 

 communication. Hence they are required to be neat, clear and annotated. 

• Assumptions can be made through reference from book/drawings. 

• DO NOT PLAGIARISE. Application must be according to site, design and climate 

 context.

PRODUCT

In this project, I've tried on how to apply construction technology into my own design. After a lot of researches, i've tried my best to do the project and I find it was really hard with the knowledge I have now. Hence, I will continue to improve myself and thus design something that is functional and construct-able.
