ADVANCED ARCHITECTURAL
CONSTRUCTION
Focusing on principles and practices of construction technology for long-span and tall buildings. Aiming to learn construction systems of basement, building façade and envelope systems, steel construction and new construction technologies and systems together with their importance in built environment.

Industrialised Building System
After exposed to different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring in the classroom, the understanding in different types of IBS construction method is focused and appropriate IBS construction method in the design of building is analyzed to be applied.
In a group of 5, with decided IBS construction method and proper delegation of works and production of deliverables, research data for precedent study, architectural and structural documentation, construction methods and IBS score calculations for a self-designed apartment are all documented in report

Construction Solutions
Focusing on in-depth technical studies, the structural and the envelope systems are focused, analyzed and established in ensuring logical construction design and workable construction systems. Aligned with studio design project, the focus is on designing with consideration that construction is integrated, increasing abilities of technical competency.
With analytical and critical study of the principles, practices and details of building technology, the proposed roof, structural and facade systems, together with studies conducted on construction methods and materials are all documented in report.

Intense research and learnings from case studies with curiosity has been explorative and fruitful in expressing the intention of integrating construction with design. The consideration of construction aspects throughout design process focused has been helpful in our future architectural designing. Through tutorials, the alternative construction systems proposed were discussed and guided for its applicable adaption and implementation, hence technical construction principles, knowledge and techniques have been learnt. Expressing my gratitude to Ar. Edwin, my tutor for tutoring me throughout this module.
