Tasks - Methodology
Explore, Apply, Document and Explain.
Moving on from documentation and analysis of construction process and activities
this assignment focuses on the demonstration of knowledge that you have acquired
earlier on. This second assignment emphasizes on proposing details for certain
sections of a building, both structural and architectural detailing.
Your task is to identify and propose THREE (3) numbers of details for selected
element or part of the building apart from providing the necessary plans, section and
elevations.
The 3 ARCHITECTURAL/ STRUCTURAL DETAILINGS must cover the following
designs in your studio project:
1) Roof
2) Superstructure (wall/slab/staircase etc.)
2) Joint and connection
You are to strictly draw the details manually and NO computer aided drawings
will be accepted. Your details are to have appropriate SPECIFICATIONS,
SYMBOLS, DIMENSIONS, and to reflect the proposed materials clearly. Your
selected detail should be details of interesting construction solutions for your design.
DO NOT PROVIDE THE ORDINARY DETAILS.
Particularly, you should be able to show and apply your knowledge in the details of
the building construction drawing that you should provide and reflect your
understanding of the construction itself.
DURING TUTORIALS SESSIONS, bring the following:
No more than one (1) typewritten A2 page summarising your research into
your proposed material(s) for the walls, floor and roof and construction
system. This will include: a description of the material/product and its

properties; standard sizes for the product; any additional relevant technical
information on the product which may be useful for designing and building.
Please provide appropriate detailed references for the sources of all your
information in your typewritten submission. MUST BE IN HARDCOPY.
