Construction Technology and Techniques for High Rise Buildings - Module Learning Outcomes

Existing Building Demolition

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the module, you should be able to:

1. Apply subject knowledge and understanding in the Conceptual and applied aspects of construction technology to commercial, Industrial and high rise use.

2. Investigate, analyse and evaluate relevant legislative, technical and environmental issues and draw compliant legislative and technical solutions.

3. Appraise arguments, choices and evidence, be able to draw conclusions, justify a solution and discriminate between differing solutions for a range of high rise technologies.

4. Provide a critical review, be able to summarise an issue and possible solution, analyse and interpret data and draw out conclusions.

Consider this as your opportunity to ‘sell’ your concept design to the University.

You must explain why you have chosen your particular technique/s of building removal and how the facades in the Nathan Road and Cameron Road will be supported during this process.

Justify your choice of construction method and the materials/services you are utilising in your new building/s and the Atrium. Brief reference to relevant legislation and regulations should also be included. You should illustrate and annotate your design solutions. You do not have to price this work as there are no financial restraints placed upon your proposals.

The structure of the report should be centred on the following themes and include:

Introduction

What is the report about (Do not simply repeat this brief).

Existing building demolition

Demolition considerations will include:

HK Health and safety considerations (Briefly what is applicable?)
