YEOW ARCHI-PORTFOLIO
Project 1: Skeletal Construction “A Shelter For One”
The objectives of this project are as follows:
* To create an understanding of skeletal structure and its relevant structural components.
* To understand how a skeletal structure reacts under loading.
* To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Skeletal Construction works.
* To be able to manipulate Skeletal Construction to solve an oblique Design problem.
Throughout the project I understand better how to apply construction system in design how does the implication of construction systems work in designand especially the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
Project 2: Understanding Forces in Solid Structure and Surface Structure
The objectives of this project are as follows:
* To create an understanding of solid structure and surface structure and its relevant structural components.
* To understand how a solid structure and surface structure reacts under loading.
* To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Solid Construction and surface construction works.
* To exploit the qualities inherent in Solid Construction and surface construction.
* To be able to manipulate Solid Construction and surface construction to solve an oblique Design problem.
This project allowed me to learn and identify the basic structural systems in skeletal, solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements. I'm able to recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design and most importantly analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.

Reflection on this module
This module provided us a chance to expose to a whole new world of building technologies. We learn a lot of new stuff like loads and forces, construction method such as skeletal, facades and solid structures. In addition , we also given a chance to study/analyse the building construction in details through the lectures and tutorials. The greatest thing I ever learn from this module is not only the construction method but how to communicate with groupmates during projects. In general , this is a really fun and enjoyable project.
