CONSTRUCTION DETAILING OF BUILDING ELEMENTS
Project 2
This assignment is designed to allow the students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding on building construction through drawings. It will emphasis more on detailing on building elements. One of the aims of this assignment is to develop an awareness and understanding of the strong inter-relationship between design and technical knowledge. A success of any design project relies on a designer’s ability to address issues of appropriate methods of construction, integration of structure and the selection of materials whilst addressing the many other complex issues that are part of the design process. Hence, this assignment should be able to give the students on the importance of understanding the construction technical details and building design.
Objectives of Project
-
To develop an understanding of the structural elements in construction and its application in the construction industry
-
To demonstrate awareness of how buildings are developed in response to practical considerations
-
To demonstrate construction manual drawing
-
To allow students to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of construction, material, and technology
TASKS
In this project, we were required to choose one of the designs from the previous studio project and work in groups to produce a construction drawing set that consist of detailing of building elements on superstructure which include floor, wall, door, window, staircase and roof.
