This task aims to introduce students basic principles of building construction process throughout their site visit. They were required to visit a construction site of low rise buildings. From that, they have to collect datas and take pictures, eventually demostrates into sketches to show their understanding. Every group members need to compile their works into one A3 report.
My group consisted of:
-Lynette Law
-Hariish Kumar
-Adam Tan
-James Tay
-Janice Lee
-Kong Xhiang Lynn
-Nicky Chong
The construction site that we conducted was located at Shah Alam, which is a double-storey terrace house.
REFLECTION
Thinking and problem solving skills
Interpersonal skills
Lifelong learning
This project helps me a lot in understanding the building construction process as well as building materials. We have a chance to experience in the construction site through our 5 senses, which is unable to get from the textbook or Internet. Working in a group, communication always the important part so that everyone can collaborate with each other, and we can split our parts equally and submit in the time.
This project is an integration project which collaborates with Architectural Design Studio 2 final project. Students are only allowed to use STEEL or TIMBER to construct their individual project. They need to explore and research to demostrate the knowledge of building construction process and building materials on their proposal.
They would more likely to show substructure of the proposed building:
-Roof
-Slab
-Columns and beams
-Roof
REFLECTION
Discipline specific knowledge
Lifelong learning
This assignment teaches me how to choose a suitable building material on my proposed building, which is correspond to how does it sustainable to the environment as well. It enhanced my understanding and knowledge on structural elements and practicality, which is crucial for a building to stand with natural phenomenon such as wind, temperature and humidity etc. It also raises my awareness on how does the material joining (bamboo joist) and which kind of joint is more suitable in term of durability and aesthetic form.
