[BLD61403]
This module consist on a more in depth and intensive study and understand on building construction that looks into the latest and more advance building technologies and practices in the construction industry. The module covers various topics such as advance constructions systems, energy efficiency, facade systems and architectural technology. Students are exposes students to precedent studies and building application of the construction methods into their Architectural Studio Design.
Project 1: Industrialized Building System

Integrated with our architectural design studio V final project, this project aligns itself for students to facilitate what we have learnt from project 1 and apply our understanding and knowledge towards the community library in terms of its structural system, roofing system, and facade system. The construction considerations should be part of the design and not just merely as tools. The final presentation is shown in the form of an A3 bounded report format.
