Project 1: Skeletal construction (temporary bus shelter)
Experiencing and understanding skeletal construction is important as it is one of the most widely used structures for building support. As a designer we should know how skeletal structure works. Through this project , we are able to apple construction system in design, recognise the implication of construction systems in design, analyse the issuers of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.

Project 2 : Understanding Forces in Building Construction
A building normally comprises of several different types of constructional systems, either due to its function or building code requirements. As designers, it is very important that you understand when and where each of the different type of constructional system is used. Today, tensile and grid shell construction methods are becoming widely used structures for building support. It provides the required load bearing resistance and aesthetics required by designers. Today, technological advancement is creating the path for innovations in building construction through exploration of materials, construction techniques and information technologies to produce more effective design approaches and features that will suit the designers’ preferences, environment needs and etc.
The objectives of this project are as follows:
To create an understanding of building components used and its assembly.
To demonstrate good drawing skills in building details and how it reacts under loading and force.
To be able to manipulate the selection of materials used and ensure its buildability.
