Building Construction and Material
Tutor :
Mr. Azim Sulaiman
The purpose of this module is to teach students on the fundamentals of building design and the construction materials utilised for small to medium-sized structures. It concentrates on helping the student understand the fundamentals of the building components, such as the substructure, the superstructure, and common building materials like concrete, masonry, wood, metal, and glass. This module will go through each material's composition, characteristics, and typical applications in construction. Assignments and tutorial activities will be used as part of a series of ongoing evaluations to make sure the module's goals and outcomes are met.
Project 1
Famous Architect’s Building: Materials Application
Each student must select an architect from the provided list. Based on the case study, the student must name two (2) structural building materials and five (5) architectural building materials from the chosen architect. Students must also study the concepts and ideas that guided the choice of the building's materials. Additionally, students must explain how one (1) of the materials was installed on the chosen building. The compilation of the results must be skillfully written on two (2) A3 pages.
Final Outcome
Reflection
In this project 1, i have learned and udnerstand the way to distinguish between architectural and structural materials. Next, i am able to describe types of building materials used for buildings as well. Lastly, throughout this project, I am able to demonstrate the installation of building materials on buildings.
Project 2
Famous Architect’s Building: Materials Application
In a group of 4-5, students need to get a two-storey terraced house floor plan in Malaysia. From the floor plan, students need to redraw it manually into a construction drawing based on the choice of building materials to be used.
Final Outcome
Reflection
In this project, I am able to develop an understanding of the structural elements in construction and its application in the construction industry. I have also learn the way to demonstrate awareness of how buildings are developed in response to practical considerations. Besides that, i have learned that demonstrate construction manual drawing and lastly, i have learned the way to demonstrate understanding and knowledge of construction, material ,and technology.​​
