BUILDING CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS
PROJECT 1. Famous Architect’s Building: Materials Application
This project requires us to conduct research on a specific building designed by a world-renowned architect, focusing on the architectural and structural materials and constructions of the building. Prior to researching the architect's background and the building's design intent, we compiled all of our information onto a 2 A3-sized poster that also included relevant snapshots or images that could support our analysis.
My research subject is Rokko Shidare Observatory, by Hiroshi Sambuichi.
PROJECT 2. Construction Drawing
As a group of 8, we must create a construction drawing set that includes detailing of building elements on the superstructure such as the floor, wall, door, window, staircase, and roof based on a floor plan of a double-storey terraced house that they will obtain. For the types of construction materials to be used for the double-storey terraced house, we are given timber. Each drawing must be done on a separate A3 sheet of paper. For this assignment, a physical model will also be required.
