Project 1 Building Plans/Fire-Fighting Plan

Project Duration: 7 weeks

In this project, students are required to Identify and select a project designed from Studio 5 among 5 group members. We are then required to translate the selected building into a cemplete set of architectural working drawing (for submission to the authorities), utilising all the formats and conventions of working drawing as they applied in contemporary architectural practice. We are to research and establish a basic understanding of statutory requirements from the authorities and fire safety guidelines and to implement the requirements into the project and also to research and establish a basic understanding of the structural system, building services, materials and other relevant technology and to apply the understanding into the project.
