Building Construction II
Project 1: SKELETAL CONSTRUCTION (TEMPORARY BUS SHELTER)
This project was a group project of 6 members. The objective of the assignment was to display our understanding of skeletal structures through the construction of a model of a bus stop. The submission requirement was the final scaled model and a report detailing the process and the details regarding the bus stop.
Throughout this project, I will be able to apply these construction system and recognize the implication of construction systems in design. Besides, I would be able to analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.

Project 2: UNDERSTANDING FORCE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
In a group of 4, we are required to propose a building either with tensile/membrane construction or grid shell construction and identify the structural systems used in the construction of the building of your choice. We chose grid shell structure and the building that we chosen is Savill Building by Glen Howells Architects.
Throughout this project, I am able to identify the basic structural systems in construction which is grid shell structure and differentiate in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements. Besides, I am able to recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design and analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
