BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1
PROJECT 1-Alternative Construction Solution and Documentation
This is an individual project whereby students will employ and demonstrate the knowledge which they have gained in the earlier topics of this module as well as in Building Materials, Building Constructions and Building Structures. In this project each student is required to utilize a portion of their own design project in previous semester. Following discussions with the respective tutor, each student should propose the alternative to the existing construction systems to include different, more complex and recent building technologies. Finally, a complete documentation including a report and a set of working drawings of the modified design shall be produced.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To encourage analytical and critical study of the principles, practices and details of construction technology in the existing building.
2. To encourage students to explore alternative construction systems
3. To adapt and implement the alternative construction systems into the students’ design.
4. To develop the students’ skills in producing working drawings.
TASK:
Each student is to bring along the previous semester’s design project to be discussed with their respective tutors on
the portion of the building that should be utilized for this assignment. Then, changes are required to be performed on
the original construction systems and/or building materials, to replace with different, more complex or recent building
technology, preferably without affecting the plans.
The site context, functions and spaces of the building are not the primary concerns of this assignment. For this
purpose the building function can be changed from the previous Nature Appreciation Centre (or etc.) to a corporate
office. However the final design should look appealing and portrays good design composition especially on the
exterior.
Changes should be carried out on the following building systems and components:
i) Floor system
ii) Wall system
iii) Roof system
iv) and to include a new basement level (shown only in sections)
Any changes that affect the structural system (i.e.: columns and beams) and related elements (i.e.: windows and
doors) should also be modified accordingly.
Students cannot simply adopt any construction system without previously conducting precedent studies of existing
buildings which currently employs the same systems as proposed by students. In addition students should also
provide detail description of all the construction systems used (materials properties, manufacturer, etc.) as well as
analysis of the advantages and/or disadvantages of both the existing systems and the new systems proposed.
Accordingly, a report should be produced which documents the precedent study as well as appropriate working
drawings and detail drawings of the building.

PROJECT 2:
Form a group of between 5 to 6 students and conduct the following tasks. Task 1 Identify and perform a case study on a building which was constructed fully or partially using IBS method and record in a video presentation format. Each group is encouraged to choose a building other than Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus to get better marks for the case study (subjected to the quality of information presented). The case study should include, but not limited to the items listed below. Background study of the building/project including the IBS manufacturer/supplier and identify the parts of the building which were constructed using IBS. Identify all the IBS components used including appropriate sizes, etc. and to indicate clearly the location of each component. Identify all the connections and joints between different IBS components i.e.: columns and beams, etc. Task 2 Each group is required to obtain a plan of two units apartment adjoined together from books, internet or actual drawings. The apartment should have at least two bedrooms and the plan should not be complicated. Then, using appropriate references including the case study, conduct the following tasks: Where necessary, modify and simplify the plan of the apartment to make it suitable to be constructed using IBS. The apartment should be modified to make it only three storeys high. Decide on the most suitable IBS systems to construct the apartment i.e. precast wall, formwork system, hollow core slab, precast staircase, toilet pod, prefabricated timber roof truss, etc. Describe about the IBS systems used including all components, sizes, etc. then identify clearly and explain where they will be used. Construct the IBS components of the model individually then joint all of them together in the actual way that an IBS building is constructed. All the process and sequence of construction in the production of the model should be included in the video. Also provide in the video some descriptions about the building and construction system concerning energy efficiency and ecological impact as well as the embodied energy calculations.
This is a group project which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (IBS) as well as the materials’ embodied energy. Before embarking on this project students will be exposed with different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of embodied energy of different building materials in the classroom. This project consists of two parts. In the first part, each group is required to conduct a case study of a building which was constructed using IBS to understand the components better. In the second part, the group has to construct a model of a 3-storey apartment building to imitate the actual IBS construction process and to record all the process in a video.
Objectives of Project:
1. To develop students’ understanding in different types of IBS construction method. 2. To apply appropriate IBS construction method in the production of a model for a specific building. 3. To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of IBS construction process through model making. 4. To develop students’ understanding in matters related to energy efficiency and ecological impact. 5. To foster good communication skills among group members through proper delegation of works and production of the video.
