BUILDING CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS
ASSIGNMENT 2
CONSTRUCTION DETAILING OF BUILDING ELEMENTS
Task:
-
In a group of 7, produce a construction drawing set for a double story terraced house.
-
Construction drawing set should include detailing of building elements on the superstructure, such as floor, wall, door, window, staircase, and roof.
-
Include a physical model of the terraced house.
Our group had to use Reinforced Concrete as the main construction material for our house. Using R.C., we came up with construction drawings and detail drawings.
After completing the drawings, we also had to come up with a scale 1:20 physical model.
Reflection
Working in a group of 7 members presented both opportunities and challenges. It required effective communication, collaboration, and leadership, particularly when guiding semester 1 interior architecture members. Although it was demanding at times, the experience allowed me and my fellow architecture members to develop teamwork and mentoring skills. Throughout the assignment, we delved into the intricacies of construction detailing, focusing on elements such as floors, walls, doors, windows, staircases, and the roof. This assignment also provided valuable insights into the complexities of construction documentation and reinforced concrete construction. It heightened our appreciation for the attention to detail required in architectural design, particularly when dealing with technical aspects. Overall, the assignment offered a rich learning experience, fostering my technical skills and strengthening my ability to work effectively in a team. It challenged me to lead and guide others while deepening my understanding of construction drawings and the importance of accurate documentation in architectural practice.
