Project 1: Industralised Building System
This group project of six predominately relates to the topics of Industralised Building System (IBS). Firstly, we had to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components and finally construct a physical model of the building to imitate the actual IBS construction process and to record all the process in a A3 size report.

Project 2 : Construction Solutions
This assignment is aligned with the final project of Architecture Design Studio 5 and aims to facilitate us in the technical studies and development of their design. It deals with the analysis and establishment of the structural and the envelope systems of our design to ensure that the design has logical and workable construction systems. It also encourages us to think about construction as an integral part of the design and not just an afterthought. Most of the times amateur designers tend to design their spaces without thinking about the construction aspects and later on have to change and redesign their schemes due to the designs were unbuildable. This assignment was designed with the intention to tackle this issue and to increase the technical competence of students.
The following shows the compilation of report of case studies for structural, roof and facade systems, and their applications in the design of the community library.
