Building construction Assignment 2

Project 2(Construction details and specification)

This project is a continuation of the first project - an integrated project where it involves construction detailing solution for Project 2b in Architecture Studio 2. This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding of construction and application from prior project. Emphasis in producing related manual construction drawing for STEEL and/or TIMBER detail and specification.

We are required to show at least 3 architectural detailings which includes the roof, any superstructure and the joints/connection that exists for the structural elements. The details have to be interesting and suited for each of our own design.

Reflection 

Critical success of any design project relies on a designer’s ability to address issues of appropriate methods of construction, integration of structure and the selection of materials whilst addressing the many other complex issues that are part of the design process.
