Building Technology 2 :The Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The teaching objectives of the module are:

1. To develop an awareness of the role of working drawings in the construction industry through the applying the principles to the on-going design project and producing the whole set of floor plans, wall section and detailing of that.
2. To develop an understanding of working/submission drawing conventions and formats through application.
3. To develop an awareness of the general nature, principles and procedures of law and legislation, particularly the Uniform Building By-laws (UBBL).

Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

1. Identify and apply visual communication methods (technical drawing and terminology) clearly and effectively to convey their design ideas and proposals from final architectural design project.
2. Apply the practices and procedures of working drawings development.
3. Develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and procedure of law and legislation, particularly Building By-laws; and its relationship to working drawings through producing a complete set of building submissions of architectural studio 5.
4. Develop and design architectural details for their design project.
5. Produce schedule of finishes, built up area, door and windows.
6. Develop an on-going architectural design project technically and make it build-able.
