BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1 [ARC 3514]- Project 1: Alternative Construction Solution and Documentation























Learning Outcomes


1. Identify and collect relevant research data.
2. Explain a set of architectural and structural documentation.
3. Relate basic structural elements and structural principles in construction.
4. Analyse and document construction methods and materials
5. Evaluate existing construction system and detailing of the selected project.
6. Critique issues pertaining to construction principles, materials, techniques, codes of practice, process of assembly, and detailing.
7. Critique issues pertaining to energy efficiency, embodied energy as well as ecological impact.
8. Generate alternative construction solutions by means of sketches and drawings.


The project aims to expose students to the recent and more complex building technologies including basement construction, and methods of documentation. In this project, my previous design studio project Belum Nature Appreciation Centre has been modified used as  to adopt different, more recent and complex construction systems that suits the local context, facilitated by appropriate precedent studies.

In addition, detail description of all the construction systems used as well as analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the systems proposed were done. All the findings were included in the report and accordingly with a set of working drawings.
