PROJECT 1

EXPERIENCING CONSTRUCTION

EXPERIENCING, DOCUMENTATION, AND ANALYSISNG CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Experiencing is the most important part in the study of architecture, and this project allowed us to experience and explore the part of realizing architecture. We were required to conduct 2 site visit to investigate local construction process and identify how the worker and constractor using their professional knowledge and apply it on the construction site. At the same time, basic principles and construction procedures like site safety, earthwork were also explained by the architect or contractor who is full of experience. It was interesting to watch a real life ongoing project and it really amazed me. By compiling the report, we also realized that the important of recording and translating our own understanding into sketches, diagrams and words instead of copy the complicated drawings blindly.

PROJECT 2

INTEGRATED PROJECT

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS & DETAILINGS

Application of construction elements and procedure is the main technique we would develope in this integrated project. With using our knowlege of building construction, we were able to input appropriate construction methods and materials in our own design of the retreat house. What I learnt the most in this project was the construction process respone to context. As the site was a national park, reducing harm from construction to the site was the main concern to build a building there. Meanwhile, I also understand that the importance of using sketch and diagram in communicating and explaning the construction process. It was really a good aid to demostrate our idea to the people.
