This document outlines an assignment for a Building Technology course involving the design and construction of a model apartment building using Industrialised Building System (IBS) components. Students must form groups to: 1) Design a 3-story apartment block incorporating IBS walls, slabs, stairs, and other prefabricated elements; 2) Construct a physical model of the building demonstrating the IBS construction process; and 3) Create a 3-5 minute video presenting the model-making process and calculating the building's embodied energy. The model and video will be assessed based on design quality, appropriate use of IBS elements, video production quality, and model workmanship. The assignment aims to develop students' understanding of IBS construction methods and issues

Building Technology 1 (BLD61403/ARC3514/ARC3512): March 2016 1 SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING & DESIGN Modern Architecture Studies in Southeast Asia (MASSA) Research Unit Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Architecture) BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1 (BLD61403 / ARC3514 / ARC3512) Prerequisite: Building Construction II Assignment 1 – Industrialised Building System 30% of final marks Submission date: Week 6 (5 May 2016) Project 1 Group LO 1- 4, 7 30% A video presentation A physical model on A2 base Video and model Introduction This is a group assignment which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (IBS) as well as the materials’ embodied energy. Before embarking on this project students will be exposed with different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of embodied energy of different building materials in the classroom. First, the group has to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components. Then, the group has to construct a physical model of the building to imitate the actual IBS construction process and to record all the process in a video. Objectives of Project 1. To develop students’ understanding in different types of IBS construction method. 2. To apply appropriate IBS construction method in the production of a model for an apartment building. 3. To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of IBS construction process through model making. 4. To develop students’ understanding in matters related to energy efficiency and ecological impact. 5. To foster good communication skills among group members through proper delegation of works and production of the video. Learning Outcomes of this Project 1. Identify and collect relevant research data. 2. Explain a set of architectural and structural documentation. 3. Relate basic structural elements and structural principles in construction. 4. Analyse and document construction methods and materials. 7. Critique issues pertaining to energy efficiency, embodied energy as well as ecological impact.

Building Technology 1 (BLD61403/ARC3514/ARC3512): March 2016 2 Tasks - Methodology 1) Form a group of 5 or 6 students. 2) 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. 3) Design one or two types of apartment units which size should not exceed 100 square meters and consists of a living hall, a dining area, three bedrooms and two toilets. The design should incorporate mainly IBS components such as precast wall, hollow core slab, precast staircase, toilet pod, prefabricated timber roof truss, etc. with appropriate sizes. 4) The units should be arranged as follows and made into three levels. However, for the model one side of the building can be cut into half to show the cross section. 5) Construct the IBS components of the model individually then joint all of them together in the actual way that an IBS building is constructed. All the process including fabrication of components and sequence of construction in the production of the model should be included in the video. A number of blow-up connection details of different parts of the model should also be produced. 6) Also provide in the video some descriptions about the building and construction system concerning energy efficiency and ecological impact as well as the embodied energy calculations. (the plan should not be complicated) Examples of the apartment units’ arrangement. Submission Requirement 1. A model of the apartment in appropriate scale to fit nicely on an A2-size base. 2. A 3 to 5 minutes video presentation of the model making process including fabrication of components as well as the embodied energy calculation in appropriate format (to submit a copy in CD or DVD). Assessment criteria Assessment criteria Authenticity, creativity and workability of the design. Appropriateness and the number of IBS method used translated into model form. Quality of workmanship and closeness of the model making process to the actual IBS construction process. Discussion of issues related to energy efficiency, embodied energy as well as ecological impact. Fineness of the video produced.
