Building Construction 2
Project 1 Skeletal Construction ( Temporary Bus Shelter )
In this particular project, it requires us to form a group of 6 consisting of Vincent Foong, Tan Wui Xiang, Pe Zhi Yong, Allen Tan and Steven. Our task was to construct a temporary bus shelter according to the following specifications. The scale: Our bus shelter should be constructed to accommodate 5-6 people. the max height is 600mm. the max base is 400mm x 800mm. The construction: It should demonstrate the knowledge of skeletal frames and its joints. It must clearly define all building components such as roof, column, walls and floors. The structure should be elevated at least 50mm from the ground. For the joints: The joints should be constructed to reflect actual joints. The materials: We as a group are encouraged to use recylcled materials such as newspapers, pet bottles, cans etc. The chosen materials must also suit its functions. We are also reqwuired to produce concise analysis on the design, construction progress and tests results are to be provided in the form of an A3 bound report.

Project 2 Understanding Forces In Building Construction
A building is normally comprised of several differernt types of cosntructional systems, either due to its functions or building code requirements. As designers, it is very important that we understnad when and where each of the different type of constructional system is used. today, tensile and grid shell construction methods are becoming widely used structures for building support. it provides the required load bearing resistance and aesthestics requried by designers. Today, technological advancement is creating the path for innovations in building construction through explorations of materials, construction techniques and information technologies to produce more effective design approaches and features that will suit the designers' preferences, environment needs and etc..
