Project 1(A): My Home Catalog

As I was doing this project, I got to
study about the building material
around my house. I started to
understand that building material is
not only to build the house but it also
enhance the mood of a particular
space.

Project 1(B): Mood Board

Project 1(B) requires us to look for a
site and identify the building material
used in that site. Ive looked around
the site and analyzed the use of the
building material on a particular spot
so it is fully functioned according to
their characteristic. Building
materials also create a mood for a
space.

Project'2(b)':'IntegraNon'

Project 2: Integration
Project 2, Integration is to search for materials that is
best for our designed model from Design Studio 1.
Throughout this project, we get to learn to search for
more detailed information about building materials and
its function and characteristics. Besides, we also get to
learn different joints system for different kind of
building material and also the finishes that is need to be
done.
