The objective of this
module is to introduce structures as architecture by developing an
understanding of the structural system in construction TECHNOLOGY. This module
will discuss about solid, skeletal and surface construction system.
PROJECT 1: SKELETAL CONSTRUCTION ''A SHELTER FOR ONE''
Upon commencing the
first lecture of this module, we were briefed by the lecturer about the first
project. Different with previous, we were the first batch to experience and to
built up a 1:1 model using any kind of materials with the presence of skeletal
framework. The most important key factor was the platform of the
Shelter must be elevated with legs supporting and must be able to withstand an
average 60kg weight for 2 minutes.
After finalizing the
ideas, we start to choose the materials that we needed for our shelter. We
are opt to use recycled materials for the shelter to reduce the cost as well as
making it environmental friendly. Hence, we decide to use the wood pallet as
our base and wood planks for the columns. Long synthethic banner is used
for the roof of shelter.

Project 2: Understanding
Forces in Solid Structures & Surface Structures
As for the Second Project, we were required to choose a building
conprise of at least 2 construction method e.g. Solid & Surface structure
and make a small scale sectional model showing its construction method. Same as
the group in Project 1, we have choosen Pantheon as our building.
