Building Construction and Material
Project 1 :Material Experience in Architecture
​
Our group of seven is tasked with conducting a detailed case study on an intriguing building located in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor. Our objective is to identify and analyze five architectural building materials and two structural building materials used in the selected building. The analysis must highlight one building material that significantly impacts the user experience through its application and include a detailed illustration of its installation process. We will present the project on a single A1 size board, organized to include: the building's historical background (location, establishment, architect), clear images and information about the identified materials (properties, location, application, selection reasoning), an analysis of the chosen material's experiential impact and installation, relevant images of the building (floor layout, elevations, three-dimensional perspectives), an overall conclusion on the building material application, and references.
Project 2 :Construction Details – Integration with ADII
​​​
In Architectural Design II - Integration, we need to demonstrate our understanding of construction principles through manual drawing, which will be an integral part of our final ADII project. Our main objective is to develop a construction section detailing from roof to foundation, along with creating a physical model that reflects the unique design of our ADII project. Additionally, we must each produce a distinct special detail as part of the assignment.
