BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1 (ARC3514 / ARC3512)

In this module students will be exposed to a more extensive study of building construction by investigating the latest and more advanced technology and practice of the industry; from the methods of documentation and site layout to all the advanced construction systems, energy efficiency, waste management, embodied energy as well as the latest construction methods. In addition it also intends to expose students to the study of construction through case studies of existing buildings and applying the construction methods and systems of the building into their own design while addressing the issues pertaining to ecological impact.

Project 1 - Alternative Construction Solutions

Group report - documents the precedent study as well as appropriate working drawings and detail drawings of the building.

Project 2 - Advanced Roof & Industrialised Building System

This project which consists of group and individual assessment components, predominantly relates to the topics of advanced roof construction, Industrialised Building System (IBS) as well as the embodied energy calculation.

Prior to work on this project, students will be exposed with different types of advanced roof construction, IBS system and the calculation of embodied energy of different building materials in the classroom.

This project consists of two parts:-

(i) A group component where each group is required to conduct a case study of a building which was constructed using an advanced roof construction and IBS system, to understand the systems better.

(ii) An individual component where each student has to apply the construction systems that have been studied to their own building design.
