I've been reading around for architecture. there are a lot people complaining about assignment to be done. But i don't mind to do many assignment as long  I can make it right.

Normally, for diploma students, what assignment do they usually have in the first year or first sem? those who already have experience studying architecture or right now studying architecture are encouraged to reply. thanks in advance. I studied "lukisan kejuruteraan" subject during my spm years. will it be applied in architecture?
@azarimy. Is it true that sometime lecturer from university come to politeknik to give lectures?
sorry for asking to much question.

who earn more? naval architect or building architect? from what i know, if normal architect pursue naval architecture field, he'll have some problem for his part 3.

edited: do construction like SMART tunnel & projects Dam requires architect or it just the engineer to design it?

added: hey. i found this link. haha. it's like the sims do try their design studio.

Architect Studio 3D

Hi
I would like to ask about the curve roof structure. I know technically it is harder to build building with curve roof compare to standard roof. Below is my sketch model about my design. My main materials for the exterior of the roof might be stainless steel and aluminium. I really like the way i layering the roof, however, my tutor told me it is really hard to build it and aspect me to come out with valid reason if i insist to keep my design. So I would like to ask all the pro here how can i able to make this roof stand up. I would like to know some key word to google and some building which have similar roof design to refer as well. Thanks


yep its hard to make a curve roof structure, that is for sure...i did my final year project which the roof of the building creates the chimney effect and make the roof remarkable looking from far...u cant use stainless steel, its not practical becoz its expensive and again expensive...being an architect u shud think of the least cost of ur material to be put in the building..i would like to show u how i make my roof outstanding...below some picture attached..

p/s: the harder it is to build, the outstanding it is to shine...stick on ur goal..being an architecture student u hv to train urself to stay firm on ur decision making..like ur concept, find strong reson to support ur idea...

thanks for the advice. I would like to stick on the plan as well. The sketch model is mainly for gathering idea. Haha, yeah i know stainless steel is expensive, but since we are first year students, the lecture ask us no need to think of the cost, just concentrate on the usage of the building and stuff. Some of my friends even want to have platinum roof.  rclxms.gif Anyway, i would like to know your suggestion of materials as well for the curve roof like that. Thanks for the advice anyway

use aluminium cladding for ur roof...as its used by frank gehry.its bendable, free form and durable. Or suspended roof with upvc fabric material..may i know what is ur building? haha...maybe my lecturer always want us to be realistic...so we always think about the cost also...

for model making, how do the process begin?

they usually build it complete with miniature interior or just model the building with no interior?

how much time usually be given to finish 1 model?

normally, i diploma or degree years, how often we have to make model? for example, 1 model per sem?

we use our own money for the model am I right?

if we have alternative materials to build a model and tested more efficient & economical than the normal materials use, can we ude it in the model building?

that's all. tanx in advance.

for my course experience... architecture involved the interior and exterior..but for diploma course, usually only focus on the technical drawing, conceptual and exterior design... how much time? depends on ur model scale...my mega project took me a year to finish the model, still not sufficient time to finish... diploma course we did alot of model...3 models overall...but its time assuming...yeP! u used ur own money...and im hunger for money to complete my model...things like balsa wood and miniature human figure is very very expensive...and the man made grass.. actually the model represent the building in reality...so u need to think of the reality of applying material into ur building...for example liek stainless steel, u need to make the stainless steel in shining and chrome...for tinted glass, we used the car tinted to actually show the realness.. hope i did help...

play-safe designers are those who keeps their designs safe, following by the rule, not willing to explore or dare something different, or in other words - skema. these sort of designs can score B or B+ easily, but very, very hard to nail an A or even A-. but by scoring A in other subjects, they pointers can go as high as 3.60 or 3.70.

overseas universities look not only at ur CGPA but ur portfolio as well. so when they review ur "safe" designs, they might not be interested bcoz they will view u as somebody who's not willing to open up to the radical ideas that they might offer. that's one of the reason why bartlett is considered one of the best school - they only take the very best students in the first place.
