Building Construction and Material BLD(61604)
Assignment 1: Material Experience in Architecture
In this assignment, we are tasked to do a comprehensive case study on a notable building in Kuala Lumpur in a group of seven. We have to analyze five architectural and two structural materials used in the building, selecting one material that significantly impacts end users and illustrating its installation process. The study will be presented on a single A1 board, including the building's historical background, images and details of the materials, an analysis of the chosen material, relevant building images, a conclusion on the material application, and references.
This assignment helped me to understand the reasons behind selecting specific materials for different architectural applications. By examining the characteristics and properties of these materials, I learned how they significantly impact the overall building design.
Assignment 2: Construction Details - Integrated with AD2
In this assignment, we need to make a construction section detailing from roof to foundation and develop a unique special detail related to their project. In addition, we need to showcase our grasp of construction principles through manual drawing that is integrated with the final project of AD2.
This project helped me to deepen my understanding of structural components in construction and their practical application as well as how buildings are created in response to real-world factors.
