Building Technology
Building Technology is a subject which has taught me on the many methods of construction as well as the hazards it might cause. By understanding these construction methods, we can apply them to our studies and create solutions for the hazards. There are also a lot of methods of construction and most were thoroughly taught to us.
​
For our first project, we were given a group assignment which addresses the methods of using IBS system in a building construction. We must also calcualte the embodied energy value of the building. By choosing a site as research, we must later correct the design and apply proper IBS functions to it and document it in the form of model and video.






As for Project 2, we were to make apply what we have learnt here and apply it to our Design Studio 5 works. We were to find several site studies of the structural systems which are used in our design. By having done research on the buildings roof, facade and floor structure, we are able to achieve a building which is practical and safe.
