4th Semester. Multy-storey social housing

This time our task was to design a building, which was meant to be a social housing consisting of 2 or 3 room apartments. The building was to be built in Horsens, out of prefabricated concrete elements and brick outer layer.
 
Here is the outcome.
Initial proposal.

As far as the project was a team-work - each member had to come up with individual ideas. Here is the poster for my project, which was afterwards developed into the full semester project.

Final Outline proposal.

After the initial material was chosen, it was developed into a final outline proposal by the whole group. The outcome had to be presented on two posters and it was competed in a "tender competition" with other groups.

Functional analysis

Since we were supposed to be Total contractors, we had to decide and design every little part of the building. To choose and decide on each specific construction many analysis, comparisons and investigations were done.

Initial and schematic analysis I made for the deeper investigation into construction requirements and key issues to consider while making further design.

Detailed design

After the choices for the main construction have been done, we proceeded to more detailed and deeper design, including different drawings and specifications. Next there are some of them done by me.

A report, which covers all the issues considering the structural design and stability of the project. Although it was supposed to be a group responsibility, almost whole report was done by me, so i place it on my portfolio page.

Detail 2

Specialization
 

For Detail 2 we had to choose individual specialization. Mine was Wet Room design. Although, it covered a lot more of topics from Building Planning and Management, here i would like to show only the technical drawing and documentation references.

This is a drawing, meant to be for a contractor, covering all the necessary aspects of the wet room in the project. It has all the needed information to built the mentioned bathroom.

Wet room documentation references

 

All my design was based on the documentation from different sources and here is the sum-up of those

Renovation project

During the semester I have participated in a 2-week renovation project with internatioal partners of our university from China. Here is the outcome of 2 posters that we prepared.
