Project 1 :Experiencing Construction: Experiencing,
documentation and analysing CONSTRUCTION
PROCESS (Group Work)
Introduction:
This project required us, group of 8, to visit an ongoing
construction site to identify different types of building elements and its
construction process, details and materials. We are also required to study and
record construction of different building elements that we have learnt in this module.
We went to 3 different construction sites to carry out our
studies. 3 of the sites are in different state of construction, which are the
initial state, middle state and almost the final state. We are so lucky that
the project managers kindly gave us much basic and useful information of
construction and some experiences are shared as well. I was assigned to do
superstructure---columns and beams part.
Here are some photo on site:

Reflection：
Throughout this project, I learned how to produce a complete documentation in the form of sketches, picture, drawings and analysis of construction elements.I understood and learned some basic construction elements and its components as well. Finally, I had learned the current construction technology on local construction sites.
Project 2: Integrated Construction Detailing/ Drawings (Individual)
Introduction:
This project is integrated with
Architecture Design Studio 2. We are required to identify and propose 3
architectural detailing of the building we designed and hand drawn it on one
piece of A2 size paper.
I chose the installation of rotating
walls, the pitched roof with drainage system and also the steel frame with
different pattern to propose my idea.
Here is my board:
Reflection:
After this project, I
learned how to select suitable structural elements for my design project and I
also learned how to design and apply proper structural element for my design.
