BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 2 | architectureworks

PROJECT 1 : A SHELTER FOR ONE

The objectives of this project are as follows:

• To create an understanding of skeletal structure and its relevant structural components.

• To understand how a skeletal structure reacts under loading.

• To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Skeletal Construction works.

• To be able to manipulate Skeletal Construction to solve an oblique Design problem.

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes assessed in this project include:

• Apply construction system in design.

• Recognize the implication of construction systems in design.

• Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural

systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.

Through this project, I understood skeletal structure, the components and how various types of joints can affect strength and durability.

PROJECT 2 : UNDERSTANDING FORCES IN SOLID STRUCTURE AND SURFACE STRUCTURE

The objectives of this project are as follows:

1. To create an understanding of solid structure and surface structure and its relevant structural components.

2. To understand how a solid structure and surface structure reacts under loading.

3. To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Solid Construction and surface construction works.

4. To exploit the qualities inherent in Solid Construction and surface construction.

5. To be able to manipulate Solid Construction and surface construction to solve an oblique Design problem.

Learning outcomes assessed in this project include:

A. Identifications of basic structural systems in construction

B. Differentiate skeletal, solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements.

C. Recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design.

D. Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.

Through this project, I understand more about solid and surface structure and its components. I am able to identify and differentiate the types of structures and analyze the suitability according to given circumstances and construction demands.
