Project 1: Industrialized Building System
This project is a group assignment which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (IBS). Before embarking on this project, we were exposed to different types and method of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring in the classroom. First, our group has to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components. Then, we have to construct a physical model of the building to imitate the actual IBS construction process and to record all the process in a video.
The objectives of this project:
1. To develop students' understanding in different types of IBS construction method.
2. To apply appropriate IBS construction method in the production of a model for an apartment building.
3.To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of IBS construction process through model making.
4. To foster good communication skills among group members through proper delegation of works and production of the video.

Project 2: Construction Solutions
This project is aligned with the Studio Design Project and aims to facilitate students in the technical studies and development of our design. It deals with the analysis and establishment of the structural and the envelope systems of the our design to ensure that the design has logical and workable construction system. It also encourages us to think about construction as integral part of the design and not just a afterthought.
The objectives of this project:
1. To encourage analytical and critical study of the principles, practices and details of building technology in the our own design.
2. To encourage us to consider the construction aspects throughout the design process.
3. To adapt and implement the alternative construction systems into the students' design.
This project is divided into two tasks, task 1 (alternative design schemes) which required us to conduct some precedent studies of roof system, two facade systems and the structural system including floor system; task 2 (sectional perspectives) which required us to produce detail sectional perspective drawing of two interesting spaces in our design.
