reflection
From this assignment, I'm able to develop an understanding of the structural elements in construction and its application in the construction industry, demonstrate awareness of how buildings are developed in response to practical considerations, demonstrate construction manual drawing, and allow students to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of construction, material, and technology.
In this assignment, I learnt how to draw a roof plan and window details for the double storey terraced house. The physical model made allow me to understand well about the construction of part of the house. I also understand more about timber as my group was given timber by the tutors.
In this assignment, I faced many time management problem as I was also rushing for my other module assignments as it was each module's final assignment. I was glad that I did a good job planning my time in order to submit my work on time.
This assignment is a group assignment, my group was a group with members from interior design and mechanical engineering course. I was glad we were able to communicate well and complete our work as a team. At the same time, we also became good friends and hangout often.
