Assignment 1

In this assignment, students are required to form a group of 5 members. Any group size different from this must be approved by the module coordinator. The task involves studying a building, preferably an apartment, that was constructed either fully or partially using the Industrialized Building System (IBS). The group must identify all the IBS components used in the building, including their appropriate sizes.

​

Next, the group must design an apartment unit that does not exceed 100 square meters. The unit must include a living hall, dining area, three bedrooms, and two toilets. The design should primarily use IBS structures and components, such as precast walls, blockwork, hollow core slabs, precast staircases, toilet pods, and prefabricated timber roof trusses, with appropriate sizing. These units should be arranged and stacked into three levels as shown in the provided figure.

​

The report should cover the concept and framework of the proposed IBS categories. It must also include relevant drawings such as plans, elevations, sections, isometric views, sectional perspectives, and details. Additionally, the sequence of construction and a schedule of modular components should be presented.

​

A self-reflection segment must be included in the report, summarizing the knowledge gained through this exercise in about 100 words. This serves as a self-assessment of your contribution to the overall report. Finally, complete and submit the peer assessment forms to evaluate your group members' performance. A link to the form will be provided.

​

The concept and framework should address the suitability of the proposed system, the features of the proposed IBS components, the fabrication process, and the sequence of construction.
