Objective
1. To encourage analytical and critical study of the principles, practices and details of construction technology
in the existing building.
2. To encourage students to explore alternative construction systems
3. To adapt and implement the alternative construction systems into the students’ design.
4. To develop the students’ skills in producing working drawings.
Project 1 : Alternative Construction Solution
Building Technology
Project 2 : Advance Roof & Industrialised Building System
Task 1
To perform a case study (or studies) on
a building which
i) has an advanced roof system (space frame or tensile fabric structure) and
ii) was constructed
using IBS construction system and report on, but not limited to the items listed below.
Task 2
Individually, each student is required to use their building plans (ground level and level 1 only) for the current design studio project and modify the construction systems of the project, using advanced roof and IBS systems only.
