project 1: industrialized building system
This is a group assignment which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialized Building System (IBS). Before embarking on this project students will be exposed to different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring in the classroom. First, the group has to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components. Then, the group has to construct a physical model of the building to imitate the actual IBS construction process and to record all the process in a video.

project 2: construction solutions
This assignment is aligned with the Studio Design Project (semester 4 and 5) and aims to facilitate students in the technical studies and development of their design. It deals with the analysis and establishment of the structural and the envelope systems of their design to ensure that the design has logical and workable construction systems. It also encourages students to think about construction as integral part of the design and not just an afterthought. Most of the times amateur designers tend to design their spaces without thinking about the construction aspects and later on have to change and redesign their schemes due to the designs were unbuildable. This assignment was designed with the intention to tackle this issue and to increase the technical competency of students.
Students are required to submit: -
1. A3 bound report of the precedent studies and analysis of the construction systems.
2. TWO (2) alternatives of façade design schemes for the current studio design project (included in the A3 report).
3. Fully annotated detail sectional perspective drawing of TWO interesting spaces, one on the ground floor and one on the top floor accompanied by key plans to indicate the location of the spaces.
