Building Construction 1
Building Construction 1
Project 1 : Experiencing Construction
In this project, we are tasked to form a 5 member group mixed with semester 2 architecture students and find an ongoing construction of a building not more than 4 storey high. We are required to identify and record the construction process, construction details and materials of the building elements.
This was my first experience analyzing the method and the materials in building construction firsthand. It was quite difficult for me to find a building that is still in an on-going construction in Malaysia especially since I am an international student and 5 out of 6 members of my group are also international students. After much effort, I finally found a possible site that my group could use on a construction's company website. During the site visit, the buildings itself are all mostly almost done, but the site manager was kind and patient enough to show us around buildings that are still half constructed and explain the construction process.
In this project, I was assigned to do the signboard, wall and windows.

Project 2 : Construction Detail and Specification
In this individual project, I was required to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding
of construction and application from prior projects. Emphasizing in producing related
manual construction drawing detail and specification. The task was to find and analyse the floor plan and section plan on the construction of
a 2-storey or 3-storey residential building then identify and propose two construction details.
I used the building from the first project because it fits the requirement and chose to propose the door and staircase element for this project.
