PROJECT 1 : EXPERIENCING CONSTRUCTION
THE TASK FOR THIS PROJECT IS TO SELECT AN ON GOING CONSTRUCTION SITE WHICH VISIBLY DEMONSTRATES MOST OF THE SUBJECT TOPICS COVERED IN THE SYLLABUS. THE SELECTED SITE SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 4-STOREY. IN ORDER TO COMPLETET THE TASK, WE HAVE TO BE IN A GROUP OF 8 AND EACH OF US SUPPOSED TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUILDING ELEMENTS AND ITS CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, DETAIL AND ELEMENT. SPECIFICALLY, WE SHOULD SHOW AND APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE DETAILS OF THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INTO AN A3 SIZE REPORT IN THE FORM OF PHOTOS, PICTURES, SKECTHES, DRAWINGS AND ANNOTATIONS.

WE HAVE INTRODUCED TO THE BASIC PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES OF CONSTRUCTION PROCESS THROUGH ALL THESE REAL-LIFE PROJECTS AND WE HAVE LEARNT THE SEQUENCE, COORDINATION OF A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND THE APPLICATION OF MATERIALS AND DETAILING OF LOW RISE BUILDINGS WHICH ARE NOT MORE THAN 4-STOREY. BESIDES, THESE SITES MAKE US UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONDING TO THE SITE CONTEXT. FROM MY PART (SITE AND SAFETY), I REALIZED WE SHOULD MAKE THE SAFETY OF VISITORS AND WORKERS AS A HIGH-PRIORITY COMPARED TO OTHER THINGS
PROJECT 2 : CONSTRUCTION DETAIL AND SPECIFICATION
THIS PROJECT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PREVIOUS PROJECT, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE DEMONSTRATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION FROM PRIOR PROJECT. IT EMPHASIZE IN PRODUCING RELATED MANUAL CONSTRUCTION DRAWING FOR STEEL AND TIMBER DETAIL AND SPECIFICATION.
THIS IS AN INTEGRATED PROJECT WHERE IT INVOLVES CONSTRUCTION DETAILING SOLUTION FOR PROJECT 2B IN ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 2. FURTHERMORE, IT ENABLES US TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTRUCTION, MATERIALS AND STRUCTURAL THEORY IN A SMALL SCALE DESIGN PROJECT.
I HAVE DEVELOPED AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN CONSTRUCTION AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY THROUGH THIS PROJECT. BESIDES, I HAVE LEARNT TO APPLY THE SUITABLE CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, MATERIALS AND DETAIL/JOINT SOLUTIONS SUITABLE FOR A SPECIFIC DESIGN. THIS PROJECT HAD DEMONSTRATE THE AWARENESS OF HOW BUILDINGS ARE DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS. THE SUBMISSION BOARD THAT WE PRODUCED DEMONSTRATE CERTAIN LEVELS OF MANUAL DRAWINGS AND SKETCHING SKILLS.
