[BMat] Project 2 : Integrated Project

This project is integrated with Architecture Design Studio 1 final project. The aim of this integrated project is to allow students to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of building materials by applying what they have learnt into their hideout design.

Integrated Building Material Final Presentation Board

Throughout this project, I had learned to apply the understanding of various types of building material which affects the tactile and chemical properties of my spatial design. I had also learned to explore and identify various types of building materials and technology.

[BMat] Project 1A : “Materiality of SPACE: An experiential exploration”

In this first project, I was to introduce various types of building materials that is being used in the current construction practice in a manner of group work and individual work. I had to team up with 5 individuals and select an appropriate building to study the materials used for its construction. I had also further studied the physical and chemical properties of the building materials being used in the building.

Finally we had to produce a presentation board and a mood board to showcase the materials and its properties as a group work.

We also had to produce an individual board containing sectional parts of the building and describe in detail of its materials.

[BMat] Project 1 : Exercise "My Home My Space"

In the first Building Material exercise, I had to identify 5 basic materials that are used in any space in my home.

With this simple exercise, I had learned to identify materials used in construction and finishes. I had also learned to describe the general usage of materials.
