Project 1-

Industrialised 

Building System

This is a group assignment which predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (BS). Before embarking on this project students will be exposed to different types and methods of the lBS system and the calculation of lBS scoring in the classroom. Frst, the group has to design a 3-storey apartment block using mainly IBS components. Then, the group has to construct a physical model of the building to imitate the actual IBS construction process and to record all the process in a video.

1) Form a group of 5 or 6 students under the same tutor. 2) Perform a study on a building preferably an apartment, which was constructed fully or parially using lBs method and identity all the lBS components used including appropriate sizes, etc. 3) Design one or two types of apartment units which size should not exceed 100 square meters and consists of a living hall, a dining area, three bedrooms and two toilets, 4) The design should incorporate mainly lBS components such as precast wall, blockwork, hollow core slab, precast staircase, toilet pod, prefabricated timber roof truss, etc. with appropriate sizes. The units should be arranged as follows and made into three levels. However, for the model one side of the building can be cut into half to show the cross section. 5) Construct the lBS components of the model individually then join all of them together in the actual way that an IBS building constructed. All the process Including fabrication of components and sequence construction in the production of the model should be included in the video. 6) Include drawings, diagrams and 3-dimensional model of the connection details as well as the lBS Score for your building
