LOWER GROUND FLOOR PLANSCALE 1:200

PROJECT: COMMUNITY LIBRARY

SITE: JALAN IPOH, SENTUL,

SELANGOR

AREA: 22941mm x 23000mm

PLOT RATIO: 1:4

NUMBER OF STOREY: 4

DESIGN STATEMENT: The designed building specially

for the community of Sentul, not

just serves the function of a library

but also as a public nodes that

aims to gather and unite the

people.

The library provides an

alternative channel of

knowledge that the locals have

yet experience before and also

as a precious hub to record the

memory of Sentul.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

fibre thermal insulation

3. Birch-veneered composite

wood board soffit

5. Sound insulation mat

6. Steel I-beam

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM USEDWelding of metal: Joining of

two pieces metal together to

metal to the melting points.

2.1 FAÇADE PRECEDENT STUDY 1

DOCUMENTATION CENTRE IN HINZERT in GERMANY/Wandel Hoefer Lorch + Hirsch

The 43-meter-long structure occupies a gentle slope,rising from two to seven meters in height. The all-in-one structure, roof and façade consists of over threethousand different triangular plates of 12-millimeterCorten steel. The angles between the individualpanels were calculated to ensure that the elementshave an adequate structural height and that the

entire construction forms a rigid folded plate.

The expressive outer skin in oxidized steel is both load-bearing structure and façade

ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES INTEGRATION WITH STUDIO DESIGN

Advantages:

• maintenance free as its oxidised surfaces

are the desired effect

• Recyclable

• Low solar reflectivity

Disadvantages:

Insulation of the interiors are required such as

in this case study, there is an inner skin consists

of triangular birch plywood panels to protect

the document centre.

• Corten steel as a materials whereby the

weathering (rusted) effect is sough after as

a aesthetic quality. The materials darken its

colour from time to time symbolizes its age.

• The material tends to rejuvenate the

industrial era and to blend with the rich

historical background of Sentul where the

origin of train works started.

2.2 FAÇADE PRECEDENT STUDY 2

ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES INTEGRATION WITH STUDIO DESIGN

Advantages:

• High thermal mass and provide cooling

effect to the interior

• Concrete are easily obtain and build

with

• Precast blocks posses great flexibility to

design and customize.

Disadvantages:

• Price of the precast blocks.

• Integrated with the concept of the

studio project: blends into the

neighbourhood in the day and

transform into a light lit monument at

night.

• Provide sharing from sun and rain.

• Blends in with the similar architecture

style to the context (Art Deco) and

remains uniquely modern.

• Allow framing of views

BINH THANH HOUSE in VIETNAM / Vo Trong Nghia Architect

Pattern blocks, which used to be a popular shading devicein Vietnam to get natural ventilation, are made of pre-castconcrete with 60cm width and 40cm height. It not onlyprevents the harsh sunlight and heavy rain but alsoenhances the privacy and the safety.

MATERIALS USEDThe concrete façade has

implied the materials of

1. Precast concrete pattern

blocks

2. Reinforced concrete bars

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM USEDUpon discussion with tutor,

conclusion is drawn that the

concrete blocks are precast

and can be easily lay with

cement on the wall.

However, the part where the

concrete blocks extend to

become an overhead ceiling

is perhaps, installed with rebar

in between, to fix them into

position, and rest on the core

beam.

3.1 ROOF PRECEDENT STUDY

ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES INTEGRATION WITH STUDIO DESIGN

Advantages:

• Interesting and unique structure due to its

versatility in shape and form

• Light weight

• One of the Industrialised building

components which are often standard size

and shape

Disadvantages:

• High construction cost

• Slight complexion in structural engineering

• A wide span that enables a column free

floor plan for the library

• Strengthen the importance of the roof in

the urban infill

• Replace GFRP with lower cost materials like

fibreglass roof panels (FRP)

HEYDAR ALIYEV CULTURAL CENTER in BAKU,

AZERBAIJAN / ZAHA HADID

A very nimble two-layer space frame plays supportive

bridesmaid to the double envelope that curves smoothly along

the top and bottom of the exterior shell, hiding the skeletal

frame and emphasizing surface rather than structure, as

though the building were all effect and no cause. The 619,000-

square-foot cultural center—for which the client, DIA Holding,

also served as the design/build contractor—manifests the

lightness of a handkerchief billowing in free fall.

MATERIALS USEDStructure: Steel (space frame)

Cladding:

1. Glass Fibre Reinforced

Concrete(GFRC)

2. Glass Fibre Reinforced

Polyester (GFRP)

Reasons: allow for the powerful

plasticity of the building’s

design

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM USEDThe construction system used is

the double-curved space

frame structure (single layer

membrane).

The axial tubes are joined

together by the MERO

connector consists of a node

that is a spherical hot-pressed

steel forging with flat facets

and tapped holes. Members

are circular hollow sections

with cone- shaped steel

forgings welded at the ends,

which accommodate

connecting bolts.

4.1 STRUCUTURE PRECEDENT STUDY 2

ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES INTEGRATION WITH STUDIO DESIGN

Advantages:

• Stiffer and stronger than many other floor

system, so the weight and size of the

primary structure can be reduced.

Consequently, foundation sizes can be

reduced.

• Safe method and high speed of

construction

• Low cost (saves in transportation)

• Sustainability. 94% of all steel construction

products can be either re-used or recycled.

• Easy construction allow the local to be

involved in the building of the library.

• Low in construction cost

INTERVENTIONS IN COMMON AREAS OF

PUBLIC MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING BUILDINGS /

Studio af6

The bridge structures that contain the lifts areformed by steel porticoes that span the distancebetween the two buildings. Composite galvanizedsteel floor decking with reinforced concrete wasused for the floor slabs. And the constructionprocess allowed for all the homes to be used duringbuilding.

MATERIALS/ COMPONENTS USEDThe layers consists of

1. steel deck (profiled

steel sheeting)

2. steel beam or joist

3. cast in situ concrete

topping

4. top reinforcement

mesh

5. bottom reinforcement

6. stud shear connectors

FLOORING SYSTEM: COMPOSITE STEEL DECK FLOORING

STRUCTURE SYSTEM: UNIVERSAL STEEL

COLUMNS & BEAMS

HOW IS THE SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED?

Steel decks are first lay on the primary and

secondary beams of the building. They are

installed and fastened with shear

connectors/studs through welding techniques.

After installing the slab reinforcement, proper

techniques or quality control are required to

pour the concrete to thickness.

Workmanship and sequences are important as

to prevent deflections, overloading of decks,

irregular surface and etc.

4.1 STRUCUTURE PRECEDENT STUDY 2

MATERIALS USEDStructure: Steel (Cold-Formed Steel Framing)

HOW IS THE SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED?Steel framing is a practical, code approved solution

to many of the limitations that builders face today

when using traditional building materials.

Steel members are first built in a factory based on the

engineered drawings and layouts. They are precast

components which later arrived at the site and be

erected.

Shallow foundations with concrete floor base is

selected as the construction method for the

community library. Spread footings with steel columns

anchoring to the ground, reinforced with steel grid

are joined together with grade beams to form a grid

work of the slab.

There are various techniques and components for

columns and beam connections. I have adopted the

Stiffened Seated Connection which consists of the

seated angle and cleat angle attached to the

column flange. The structure can be further

enhanced will the angle clips.

Illustrations on the right from above show the

reference images of steel column base plate,

followed by the details of spread footing and lastly

the diagram showing the component in a stiffened

seated connection.
