Project 2: Case Study and Documentation of Building Services Systems

The second project required us to look into building services of a medium scale building. To gather information, a site visit to Ikon Connaught is done by our group. Under the guide of Mr. Nazrul, we understand the buildings services system around in depth. 

From overall, it was a fruitful experience to observe and understand the operation of building system at a close range. We are able to identify the building services and analyse the components of the system. 

Project 1: Systems and Service

The first project of the module Building Services applies the theory with practical where the students need to propose the building services of the building from design studio 2. From this project, I had chance to plan components of buildings services and understand the laws relating to the building regulations. It is essential for the design process. 

Project 2: Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Building

In this project, our group are required to find a detached house floor plan to analyse the beams and columns of the building. First of all, I would like to thank Sim Jia Hui for her help to find the architectural plan.

In this project, I am able to apply the theories and calculations learnt from the module. I learnt to understand the strength requirement of structural elements. The information is useful for the understanding of the safety of structural of a building.
