WEEK 1 MATERIALS AND MORE SIMILAR TO BUILT WORKS, MATERIALS ARE SORT AFTER FOR THEIR DURABILITY, APPEARANCE, LOW COST AND STRENGTH.

STORES 1. BUNNINGS WAREHOUSE 501 WILLIAMSTOWN ROAD PORT MELBOURNE VIC 3207 2. MELBOURNE ARTIST SUPPLY 34-36 LITTLE LA TROBE STREET MELBOURNE VIC 3000 3. ECKERSLEY’S ARTS & CRAFT 97 FRANKLIN ST MELBOURNE VIC 3000

LIST AND DIMENSIONS MATERIALS WERE BOUGHT BASED ON BUILDING COMPONENT SIZES TO SCALE. HAVING THIS INFORMATION SAVES COST AND TIME AT THE STORE LEAVING MORE TIME FOR BUILDING THE MODEL.

2

WEEK 1 MODEL BASE THE BASE WAS MADE FROM 4 SIDES AND LATER BRACES IN THE MIDDLE TO CREATE A STRONG BASE. THE BASE WILL BE CLAD WITH SANDPAPER THAT REPRESENTS THE LAYERS OF SOIL BENEATH THE SITE. BEAM SLOTS ARE CUT TO SHOW THE BEAMS BELOW THE GROUND LEVEL SLAB.

WORK FLOW WE SPLIT OUR EFFORTS INTO 2 PROCESSES. KK (KWEIKEE) WORKED ON TEMPLATES OF THE FLOOR SLABS AND SECTIONS TO GET THE SIZES AND SHAPES OF COMPONENTS, SK (SHAWN) WORKED ON CUTTING MATERIALS AND MAKING THE MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE MODEL.

3

WEEK 1 METAL STRUCTURE USING CARDBOARD, THE METAL FRAMES WERE MADE FROM LAYERS THAT WERE GLUED TOGETHER AND PAINTED GREY.

4

WEEK 1 INSULATION PINK FELT WE FOUND IN A STATIONARY STORE IS USED TO REPRESENT THE INSULATION. IT WILL BE WRAPPED WITH ALUMINUM JUST LIKE THE REAL ONES,

5

WEEK 1 WATER PROOFING BLUE PAPER IS USED TO REPRESENT THE ALL IMPORTANT WATERPROOFING BLANKET THAT PROTECTS THE BUILDING’S STEEL STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS.

6

WEEK 1 GLASS WINDOWS USING CARDBOARD, THE FRAMES OF THE WINDOWS ARE INDIVIDUALY PLACES ONTO THE ACRYLIC SHEET. A DIVISION OF 1M OF EACH WINDOW IS MADE ACCORIDNG TO THE SPECIFICATIONS THE ARCHITECT GAVE US IN HIS LECTURE.

7

WEEK 2 BEFORE TUTORIAL AFTER 1 WEEK THE MODEL WAS BUILT TO THE 1ST STOREY BUT WAS NOT ASSEMBLED TOGETHER YET. GROUND FLOOR WAS 80% COMPLETED. COMMENTS WERE POSITIVE AND FEEDBACK WAS GIVEN TO HAVE OUR ROOF CONSTRUCTED

BY THE NEXT TUTORIAL.

8

WEEK 2 1ST STOREY SLAB USING SOME BALSA WOOD AND CARDBOARD, WE MADE THE SUSPENDED CEILINGS THAT WOULD SUSPEND FROM THE 1ST STOREY SLAB.

9

WEEK 2 FACADE CLAD A PAIN STAKING PROCESS OF MANUALLY FOLDING THE CORRUGATED EXTERIOR FACADE TO SIMULATE AN OVERLAPPING OF PANELS. FACADE IS LATER PAINTED BLACK AND FITTED ONTO THE MODEL.

10

WEEK 2 RE-BARS AND CHAIRS MANUALLY MAKING A MESH TO CREATE THE CORRECT SPACING IN THE RE-BAR MESH AND LATER USING PINS TO REPRESENT BAR CHAIRS,

11

12

13

WEEK 2 ROOF STRUCTURE BEAMS AND PURLINS WERE MADE EARLIER. THE ROOF IS COVERED WITH INSULATION AND WATER PROOFING BEFORE THE SAFETY MESH AT THE BOTTOM. THEN WE ATE PIZZAS!

14

WEEK 2 SUSPENDED CEILING THE SUSPENDED CEILING WAS COATED WITH INSULATION AND WILL BE HUNG FROM THE SLAB ABOVE. WE WANTED TO RUN THE SUSPENDER THROUGH THE SLAB SO THE TILE PATTERN HAD TO BE TORN APART AND REPLACED LATER.

15

WEEK 2 1ST FLOOR AT THE END OF THE WEEK, THE 1ST FLOOR WAS NEAR COMPLETION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SUSPENDERS THAT WOULD HOLD THE CEILING.

16

WEEK 3 ASSEMBLY WE BUILT THE MODEL IS SEPERATE COMPONENTS THAT COULD BE EASILY ASSEMBLED AT THE END. ALTHOUGH OUR TUTOR ASKED US TO GET OUR MODEL UP BY THE INTERIM PRESENTATION, THAT WAS NOT HOW OUR MODEL MAKING PROCESS WAS.

17

WEEK 3 ROOF THERE WAS ABIT OF CONFUSION WITH THE ROOF BUT AFTER MUCH CONSULTATION WITH TUTORS AND SUBJECT COORDINATORS, WE FIGURED OUT AND LEARNT HOW THE ROOF IS CONSTRUCTED AND HOW EACH LAYER WORKS.

18

WEEK 3 ROOF THERE WAS MORE TO THE ROOF THAN WE THOUGHT, INSULATION AND SARKING HAD SPECIFIC POSITIONS AND INSTALLATION PROCEEDURES.

19

FINAL PRODUCTION PROCESS

ALONG THE WAY TO OUR FINISHED MODEL, MANY HURDLES APPEARED IN OUR WAY, ONE MAJOR HURDLE WAS WHEN THE LAPTOP CONTAINING 2 WEEKS OF PROCESS PHOTOS WERE LOST. WE PUSHED ON DISPITE THE SETBACK AND COMPLETED OUR MODEL WITH 2 WEEKS TO SPARE TO DOCUMENT OUR MODEL AND PUT ON FINISHING TOUCHES.

SPACERS SPACERS ARE INSTALLED ON THE PURLINS WITH SPACES FOR THE INSULATION TO BE PLACED. THIS PREVENTS THE INSULATION FROM BEING COMPRESSED AND ALSO PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR THE KLIP-LOCK ROOF CLADDING SYSTEM TO BE BOLTED ONTO.

INSULATION ALTHOUGH THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS SHOWED ONLY ONE LAYER OF SARKING, UPON RESEARCH, THE MOST OPTIMAL INSTALLATION WOULD BE TO HAVE 2 LAYERS OF SARKING AND THE INSULATION BETWEEN THEM.

SARKING THE REFLECTIVE SIDE IS FACED DOWNWARDS TO PREVENT HEAT FROM EASCAPING UPWARDS CAUSING CONDENSATION.

PURLINS PURLINS ARE MADE FROM COLD-FORM STEEL WHICH MEAN IT ISN’T STRUCTURAL. IN THE ARCHITECTURE DRAWINGS THE DIRECTIONS OF THE PURLOINS FACE THE WRONG WAY, IT IS MEANT TO FACE UPWARDS OF THE SLOPING ROOF.

SLAB SYSTEM

VERMICULITE A FIRE RESISTANT COATING IS SPRAYED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SLABS.

BONDEK THE BONDEK IN THIS BUILDING IS USED MAINLY AS FORM WORK AND NOT AS STURCUTRE.

SUSPENDED CEILING SIMILAR TO THE CEILING OF THE 1ST FLOOR, THE SUSPENDED CEILING HAS AN INSULATION OF ITS ON AND USES THE RONDO SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEM.

50

51

52

REINFORCED SLAB THE REINFORCED SLAB IS STRENGTHENED BY REBARS THAT FORM A GRID WITHIN THE CONCRETE. ONE LAYER OF REINFORCEMENT IS USED FOR THE 1ST LEVEL SLAB.

SLAB SYSTEM 53

SLAB SYSTEM

GROUND FLOOR SLAB THE GROUND FLOOR SLAB HAS 2 LAYERS OF REINFORCEMENTS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM THIRD OF THE SLAB. THIS PREVENTS THE SLAB FROM SAGGING WHEN IT SPANS FROM BEAM TO BEAM AND ALSO PREVENTS EXPANSION DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BELOW AND ABOVE GROUND.

54

55

SLAB SYSTEM

BAR CHAIRS THE REINFORCEMENT BARS HAVE TO BE KEPT AT A CERTAIN HEIGHT WITHIN THE SLAB FOR OPTIMUM REINFORCEMENT STRENTH. BAR CHAIRS PREVENT ANY MOVEMENT OF THE REINFORCEMENT BARS WHEN CONCRETE IS BEING POURED.

56

WATER PROOFING MEMBRANE WATER PROOFING MEMBRANE COMES IN SHEETS OF 1.2M REQUIRING THEM TO OVERLAP AND BE TAPPED DOWN TOGETHER.

57

SLAB SYSTEM

CHAMFERED BEAM EDGE TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN THE BEAM TO SLAB CONNECTION, A CHAMFERED EDGE IS MADE AT THE CORNER CONNECTING SLAB TO BEAM.

58

59

SOIL PROFILE

SOIL PROFILE THE TOP LAYER OF SOIL CONTAINING GRASS, GRAVEL AND OTHER ORGANIC MATTER IS REMOVED BEFORE ANY SOIL WORK IS DONE. BENEATH THE SLAB LAYS THE WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE THAT COMES IN SHEETS OF 1.2M. BENEATH THAT IS A LAYER OF COMPACT SAND THAT IS USED TO LEVEL THE GROUND. A LEVEL OF FILL IS REQUIRED AS THE SLAB SITS HIGHER THAN THE ORIGINAL FLOOR LEVEL. A LAYER OF CLAYEY SILT IS BENEATH THAT FOLLOWED BY A VERY PROBLEMATIC LAYER OF SILTY CLAY THAT REQURES DEEP FOOTINGS TO BE MADE TO REACH ADEQUATE BEARING GROUND.

60

61

FOOTING DUE TO THE PROBLEMATIC SITE (CLASS P) A DEEP FOOTING HAD TO BE USED TO REACH BEARING SUITABLE GROUND. MASS CONCRETE FOOTINGS ARE PURELY CONCRETE WITHOUT REINFORCEMENTS TO REPLACE THE UNSUITABLE SOIL WITH A STRONGER FOOTING.

LESSONS LEARNT DESIGN

CONSTRUCTION

OUT OF THIS PROJECT, DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN DETERMINING CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND MATERIALS. LESSONS LEARNT HERE HELPS US TO FORSEE CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS WHEN DESIGNING A BUILDING.

WE’VE LEARNT THAT NOT ALL DRAWINGS MADE BY THE ARCHITECTS ARE CORRECT, AND THAT THE ARCHITECT DOESN’T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT. CONSULTANTS AND CONTRACTORS ARE THE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD AND CONSTANT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WILL ENSURE A SMOOTH WORK FLOW AND UNDERSTANDING OF BUILT ELEMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES.

DETAILS

SITE

‘GOD IS IN THE DETAILS’ -LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE

THE BASIS OF MOST CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS START WITH THE SITE. GIVEN THE VERY PROBLEMATIC SITE, WE CAN LEARN HOW ENGINEERS AND BUILDERS OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES. THE GEOTECHNICAL STUDIES HAS TAUGHT US MUCH BEYOND WHAT CAN BE SEEN ON SITE.

DETAILS ARE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND SHOULD BE STUDIED CARFULLY. MATERIALS AND JOINT TECHNIQUES REFLECT THE PERFORMANCE OF A BUILDING AND WHAT IT IS CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING.
