PROJECT 2 : APPLICATION OF BUILDING SERVICES

In this project, a  domestic size building has been chosen as the medium of study and application. With relevance to Architecture Design Studio 2, Retreat House design has been used for the application of building services. Understanding of building services from Project 1 is adapted into this project when proposing and designing appropriate systems for the building which include, 1) electrical supply system, 2) cold water & hot water supply system, 3) sewerage & sanitary system & 4) drainage system. Drawings, diagrams, symbols, images and other relevant information has been provided to aid in the understanding of implementation of building services. On top of that, application of by-laws such as from Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) has also been proposed to justify the design. A total of two A2 boards has been produced as follows :

Learning Outcomes :

1. Able to identify relevant information related to water supply, liquid waste disposal, mechanical air-conditioning, fire safety and vertical transportation system.
2. Further understanding of building services and by-laws.
3. Able to describe the planning of building services within the total design and construction process. 
4. Able to describe the installation of building services within the total design and construction process.
