Del Seminars on Building Technology

nal version 15-02-2012

Welcome to the Master course Del seminars on Building Technology (DSBT). This is the last compulsory subject on Building Technology before your nal gradua on project starts. The seminar DSBT concentrates on the assembly of and the mutual integra on of structure, climate and faade. We developed this seminar, based on seven case studie projects, especially to study this interac on. The case studies are documented in books, magazines, internet pages and blackboard. Most importantly you will make your own excursion to two of the case study projects. Dont forget to bring your measurement tape, notebook and photo camera.
We want to use several design tools to help you develop a cri cal and sharp eye for the huge possibili es a strong coopera on between Architectural- and Building Technology Design can bring to your projects. 1. Discussion, argumenta on and verifying. In the work groups you can discuss with colleague students and your tutor. Also, you can also a end a series of lectures. These lectures discuss the dierences between the academic theory and the daily prac se. 2. Observa ons and nota ons. You organise a visit to two buildings in real life. You will nd your two buildings on blackboard in the group pages. Making the right observa ons is an art in itself. 3. Analysing and diagramming. To determine what is important for you to do in this seminar it is crucial that you can analyse and interpret gained knowledge and will be able to show the result in clear diagrams 4. Sketching and drawing technical specica ons. You will have to visualize complicated details. How do organize the opera on of a facade construc on? 5. Reading and wri ng. You have to use literature to defend your arguments. Also we want you to be able to write about your process of ndings and to make precise descrip ons of technical ma ers. If you can describe the research ques on correctly, you are closer to the answers you need Try to learn as much as possible during this seminar, as it will be a good prepara on for your gradua on in Del . Success! Bas Gremmen

The Ar cle

Illustrated and cri cal

In this assignment you will write an illustrated ar cle to discuss and explain the reasons and arguments for your redesign proposal of a case studys fragment. The ar cle will be a cri cal report of the ndings during the redesigning process. The illustra ons in the ar cle are diagrams, sketches and drawings and are drawn by yourself. You can use photographs in the ar cle as well. Photographs you use are copy-right free and the photographers name has to be indicated. You will use the given lay-out for the ar cle as provided in the In Design-le. (see blackboard) To complete this ar cle it is necessary accomplish a variety of tasks. You will nd them explained in the workow pages in the back of this assignment leaet. In the following we describe the paragraphs and their expected content in your ar cle.
1. Introduc on (200 words) This is the last paragraph you will write. It should trigger the reader to go forward and give insight to what you can expect in the ar cle. This paragraph is not meant for general informa on about the case study buildings or the list of members of the design team. 2. The fragment chosen (600 words) Describe here the arguments why you chose a certain fragment and your fascina on with it. Explain in what direc on you want to develop the redesign. Describe in wri ng the chosen fragment in every detail. Make a note of all materials, dimensions, assembly material, components and so on. (BTW: Use design topics from your design studios to narrow down the specic fragment and your ideas what and how to redesign this fragment. If you are interested in, for example, double skin facades, you can select a fragment where you think the double facade would be an improvement or a good alterna ve.) 3. The research ques on (200 words) In this paragraph you formulate your exact research topic. Narrow down the focus of the research ques on as much as you can. Be precise and descrip ve. (Your redesign will func on in this assignment as an example for your research results. The architectural design can be understood as an architectural and technical development combined. The proof of the pudding) 4. Reference project (300 words) Select from the literature a suitable reference project that corresponds with your redesign plans. Aim of this comparison is to test your chosen direc on of redesign to a build example. Check how the chosen details are compiled and what are the important parameters. Redraw the reference projects details to explain how they work. 5. Literature references (600 words) Your redesign needs to be a proven method in general building technology literature. You need the right arguments to prove every design decision. Check your ideas by the principles of structure, climate and facade techniques. What informa on made it possible to make the right decisions? In this assignment designing is not something only intui ve but a process that is strongly guided by technical informa on. 6. Redesign (600 words) Write in a precise manner how your fragment is build up. Explain extensively how your new design works. Give good insight in the sustainable quali es of your work. Make clear

how is it assembled, which components are responsible for which func on, and how your design can be dismantled or re-used in the future. Explain how the climate in your building is guaranteed in dierent situa ons; summer, winter and the in between seasons. Men on the topics related to maintenance. Make clear how your design works for the building as a whole. 7. Conclusions (400 words) A very important part of you ar cle. Decide to what extent your redesign project was successful. Make links to the original facade, the reference project, the theory and last but not least your research ques on. This is the right moment to recommend to fellow students how they could con nue the research you started. 8. Bibliography Here you state a list of sources you used. Use the Harvard protocol to notate them in a standard format. Note your name and study number in the right down corner on the cover!

Redesign Assignment
complete makeover
The redesign is the key element in this assignment. It challenges you to analyse and cri cise an exis ng building fragment designed and engineered by well known architects. This process should trigger your own fascina ons on architecture and building technology. It is temp ng to concentrate on the facade only but it will not generate the best designs. The assignment of this seminar is to make a substan ated redesign proposal of one of the seven case studys facades. The design will contain at least proposals for the following topics; 1. Climate design sustainability, assembly, maintenance, dismantling 2. Structure design sustainability , assembly, dismantling 3. Facade design sustainability, assembly, maintenance, dismantling Especially the integra on and the coopera on of these disciplines form the backbone in your design. We call that Architectural Engineering. You should consider the current situa on of the case studies as replacable. The assignment is not about renova on or restora on. Re-develop the whole project from scratch, with the same program and dimensions. We want you to design on four dimensions; 1. 2. 3. 4. Building - what eect has the proposal on the whole building (diagrams, text) Fragment - drawings 1:20, text Element - wich (prefabricated) do i use in my design and in what order do i assemble (diagrams, text) Detail - drawings 1:5, diagrams, text

The Lectures
The lectures form the theore cal background to the Del Seminars on Building Technology. On top of the knowledge gained in the bachelor phase, an array of new topics will be addressed. A series of lecturers will address known and unknown topics in the case study projects. These prac cal issues will be seen in the light of the known theory. You will see and understand how the academic values are interpreted in prac se. What are the compromises made in the process from design to realisa on? How pure are the chosen solu ons if we relate them to the theory? These lectures are recommended for all par cipants of the work groups.

A endance & Marks

recurrence possibili es
Experience teaches us that a endance is very important in this seminar. More than allowed absence (valid or not valid) and/or insucient work process can be a reason for removal from the course. (To determine by the tutor) For that reason we state the following rules for the workgroups: A endance of 3 full work group mee ngs in Q1 A endance of 4 full work group mee ngs in Q2 The a endance of the lectures is not obligatory, but will be checked for evalua on purposes. Deliver your hardcopy to the secretary of Architectural Engineerin + Technology at 01west before 16:00 hrs on 27 June 2012. The delivery of the hardcopy is qualifying if your contribu on is in me! Entries that are too late (a er 16:00 hours) will NOT be evaluated The meaning of the marks is as follows: 1 : Extremely bad, does not qualify for recurrence op ons 2 : Very bad, does not qualify for recurrence op ons 3 : Bad, does not qualify for recurrence op ons 4 : Insucient, does qualify for recurrence op ons 5 : Almost sucient, can be corrected with addi onal task without tutoring. Must be nished in 10 days a er request from sta. Second correc on is not possible. If the correc on does not higher the grade to 6, you will be qualied for recurrence op ons 6 : Sucient 7 : Quite sucient work. Marks equal and higher than 7,5 will be used for future reference. 8 : Good 9 : Very good 10 : Excellent Students par cipa ng in the recurrance group are obliged to con nue working on their earlier evaluated ar cle and redesign poster. They have to make sure that they a end at least three full tutoring mee ngs (of max 5) if they want their work to be evaluated.
