Building Project Management
and Making

This course will equip the students to carry out detailed development and refinement of building design through technical resolution of structural systems, material performance and experience, member assembly, threshold-enclosure details and process of construction. The student is expected to comprehensively resolve the design from concept to actualization and generate a construction documentation set along with specifications, quantities and estimation.

​

The focus of this studio is three fold - first to develop in students an ability in systems-thinking and the ability in detailing (detailing here is the act of putting together different materials and their assemblies in a manner that is conceptually coherent with the overall idea of the building); second to develop an ability to make construction documentation drawings (working drawings) that could be used for the construction of buildings ; and third, to develop ability to write specifications, generate bill of quantities and cost estimation for the project.
