Construction Detailing of Building Elements
Students are to find a building as a reference in producing detail drawings of building elements such as floor, wall, door, window, staircase, and roof. Each element need to have a plan view, section and the detailing part of the element. The building me and partner had chosen is SS3 House.
This assignment taught me the technicality of building construction. Through this project, I have more knowledge in structural elements regarding to construction and its application. I learnt to apply the suitable construction elements, materials and details of joint solutions for a specific design. It also allowed me to gain knowledge in developing the building response to practical considerations from documentation and analysis of construction process. Also, the project had deepen my understanding of proposing details for certain section of a building in both structural and architectural detailing.
