Hi, I am Yeo Shi Jie, 0330176.
Introduction:
This is a group assignment which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (IBS). Before embarking on this project students will be exposed to different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring in the classroom. First, the group are require to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components. The group has to construct a physical sectional model of the building to show the IBS components in detail.
Objectives:
- To develop students’ understanding in different types of IBS construction method.
- To apply appropriate IBS construction method in the production of a model for an office building.
- To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of IBS construction process through model making.
- To foster good communication skills among group members through proper delegation of works and production of deliverables.
- To explain a set of architectural and structural documentation.
- To relate basic structural elements and structural principles in construction.
- To analyse and document construction methods and materials.
- To enable students to assess and understand the methods of calculating the IBS Score.
Task/ Methodology:
Within a group of 5 students,
- Perform a study on a building preferably an apartment, which was constructed fully or partially using IBS method and identify all the IBS components used including appropriate sizes, etc.
- Design an 3-5 storeys apartment units which size should not exceed 100 square meters per unit and each unit must consists of a living hall, a dining area, three bedrooms and two toilets. The design should incorporate mainly IBS structure and components such as precast wall, blockwork, hollow core slab, precast staircase, toilet pod, prefabricated timber roof truss, etc. with appropriate sizes.
- The content of report may include concept and framework of proposed IBS categories, relevant drawings such as plans, elevations, sections, isometric view, sectional perspectives and details, sequence of construction, schedule of modular components as well as the IBS score calculation for the building.
- Concept and framework may include the suitability of proposed system, features of the proposed IBS components, fabrication process and sequence of construction shall be included in the report.
Outcomes:
1. Reports:
2. Orthographic Drawings ( scale 1:150 ):
3. Physical Models Making ( scale 1:50 ):
