Program B. Arch Asif Ibrahim, Fariha Shahid, M Tariq Khan, Uzma Ali Shah, Zahid Usman
Year/Semester 2nd Year [email protected], [email protected],
Name of Course Material and Building Construction‐I Category Support Theory + Studio
Credit Hours 03 Course Code ARCH‐202 Pre Requisites 1st Year Foundation Course
Aim and Objective 1. To understand construction process, systems and appropriate assemblies; 2. To specify material and material restrictions imposed by the applicable codes and other applicable
building regulations; and 3. Complement Construction Methods by equipping the student with sufficient knowledge of construction
materials, systems and assemblies to be able to translate the design into graphical then a built form.
Learning outcomes Familiarity with requirements of architectural assemblies;
Understanding of construction process;
Basic understanding of the common materials of construction, how they fit together to comprise the total building and their graphical representation;
Show a sound knowledge of the basic properties of materials, such as density, strength, visual, colour and texture, thermal, acoustic, common defects and potential for deterioration and weathering; and
Know how to specify building materials on technical drawings.
Detailed Course Plan Our construction industry needs comprehensive and innovative solutions from design disciplines both from architectural and engineering sector. This can only be done if architects understand components and assemblies. Understanding individual building components and the details necessitates understanding the guiding architectural intentions, performance requirements, process of manufacture and assembly, and systematic organization of various building assemblies. This course familiarizes the basic materials of construction forming an assembly; according to their physical properties, durability and suitability for use under varying conditions. Use of materials in combination with one another and in the finished product will be examined both verbally and graphically. Emphasis is placed on appropriate assembly/ material selection. The course needs to be run in parallel combination of studio exercises and understanding of materials and construction techniques.

Teaching Strategy This course features a complete set of lectures and studio exercises that explains various traditional, contemporary & emerging materials and their connection with construction. It comprises of studio work (Drafting and detailing), written analysis, presentations & project assignments, Videos, site visits and Guest Speakers. Every student is obliged to draw assigned detail from the outline structure, as an individual method.
Assessment Criteria: Class Participation (Attendance + Performance), Class Assignments/ Projects, Reports and Examination. The detailed breakdown for 150 Marks is as under:
