Chyn'sarchitecture & design

Task 1

In a group of 6 members same group as in Assignment 1, we have performed a case study on a building which i) has an advanced roof system (space frame or tensile fabric structure) and ii) was constructed using IBS construction system and report on, but not limited to the items listed below.

- Introduction to the building (i.e. name, location, year it was built, the owner, the architect, the developer, etc.)

- Identify all the advanced roof components used including appropriate images, sizes, etc. and to indicate clearly the location of each component.

- Identify all the IBS components used including appropriate images, sizes, etc. and to indicate clearly the location of each component.

- Identify the connections and joints between different components i.e.: roof and columns, columns and beams, etc.

We have chosen Taylor's University Lakeside Campus as our case study.

Task 2

Individually, we are required to use our building plans (ground level and level 1 only) for the design studio 4 project and conduct the following tasks:

- Where necessary, modify and simplify the plan of the building to make it suitable to be constructed using an advanced roof and IBS construction systems. As this is not a design class therefore the circulation and layout of the building is not a concern in this assignment.

- Apply the appropriate advanced roof and the most suitable IBS systems to construct the building i.e. precast wall, formwork system, hollow core slab, precast staircase, toilet pod, prefabricated timber roof truss, etc. for the building envelope to replace the original construction systems.

- Produce: i) all plans, ii) two elevations, iii) one section and iv) a detail sectional drawing of the building to show all the roof and IBS components used.

- Describe about the construction systems used including images, sizes, etc. then identify clearly and explain where they were used.

- Also provide in the report some descriptions about the building and construction system concerning energy efficiency and ecological impact as well as the embodied energy calculations.
