Building Structure And Envelope Of An Advanced Engineering Building At Uq

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.

The ornate cornices on the ceiling also reflect some History about Australia. The Manchester Unity Building was also the first building in Melbourne to have Escalators. The Manchester Unity Building also had its own heating and cooling, in summer cooling was obtained by large underground tanks which cooled the air. In winter time the building was heated by oil heaters which heated the air, it also had its own generator in case of a power failure. A state of art building, ahead of its time, due to the technological and material advancements. It also contained elevators which could speed up to 600 feet a minute. This building also provides a shopping retail centre, with many shops of all sorts being able to set up business. It also provides a social centre with café’s also opening up, especially the roof top café where people can enjoy the view of Melbourne as well as spend time with their colleagues.

The MW-1 2003 Contract was developed and published by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) and the Master Builders Association (MBA). This contract is the revised edition of the original ABIC MW-1 2001 contract

This fire station build in 1993 has a form that resemblance Ringwood Library with a reverse curved roof acting in lieu of a dome to render the building monumental (Annex J). This time it was marked with a series of tubular skylights and vents which serves as a dome lanterns. Cream colour brick wall covers the façade of this building as a shell of a core of local red brick and concrete columns architecture internally which was a legacy of Melbourne’s everyday warehouse and factory architecture of the 1920s. The design had 2 constraints that Corrigan had to consider. Firstly the garage, reception area and dormitory had to be squeeze side by side within a tight space along Albert Street. Second the building was a replaced of an earlier fire station by Seabrook and Fildes whom was Melbourne’s leading early modernist and it was also near to two Modern cinemas.

The building was originally constructed in 1974 and was renovated in 2013. The building nowadays is a typical sample of green building with all new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and data systems. It is designed to make it one of the most energy efficient office buildings in the country. The owner of the project is United States General Services Administration. The work was completed by a custom integrated team of Cutler Anderson Architects as the design excellence architect, SERA Architects as the executive and interior design architect, and Howard

It was designed as a world leading Six Star office building which incorporated sustainable features such as the innovative cooling storage system in the basement to vertical gardens and wind turbines on the roof. The sustainable features are incorporated throughout all 10 floors of the building.

Bruce Hall used to be one of the iconic residential colleges in ANU, which is prepared to be demolished and rebuilded from 2016 to 2019. To retain the valuable Bruce Hall community in this period, the latest accommodation, Student Accommodation 5 (also called SA5) is now occupied by these Bruce Hall residents. (Burgess, 2016). As SA5 is a brand-new and temporary place of residence, the engineering system tools are used for making some improvements of this new accommodation.

The original renovation had a budget of 5 million dollars, which included classrooms, a computer lab, student lounge, lavatories, and staff offices. The renovation is suitable for the current status of Construction Science; however the growing program will soon outgrow the building. For these reasons, I am writing a follow up memo of the topics to be included in my upcoming researched recommendation report.

It is a 50,000 square foot facility that includes: a ballroom, an exhibition hall, 14 meeting rooms and full catering capabilities. It also includes a plaza and fountain which provide outdoor space. This facility provides an arena for large groups of people to hold meetings and training opportunities as well as the exchange of theories and ideas.

In NSW, the construction should be finished The Building Sustainability Index (BASIX), which is a part of the Development Application plans, if the cost of that building is over than $50,000, for this reason’14058 MHDP Lambert Narrabeen’ project completed that certificate. The purpose of The Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) is to control the reduction of water using and greenhouse gas discharging equitably and effectively in NSW. The Basix Certificate is consisting of three sections by focusing on water, thermal comfort and energy. The total result of The Basix Certificate is pass. This report will explain the detail of the Narrabeen project Basix Certificate into three sections, water, thermal comfort and energy.

The UniSA's School of Law is a heritage building with important historical value. It was built in 1940-41 for the administrative headquarters of the South Australian Brewing Company. In 1956, extensions were added to the original building. The Georgian style of the building, was designed by the architect F Kenneth Milne, who chose clay brick masonry as the material for the structure (Adelaide City Heritage 2015).

In order to design such a building for seismological risks, preliminary research is done about the geological conditions of the city, fault locations, and earthquake history. Three earthquakes were chosen that occurred in the vicinity of the city, and their characteristics were analyzed, as were any effects resulting from those quakes, including liquefaction, landslides, or settlement. At the conclusion of this project, recommendations for the structure were provided in relation to the seismic analysis of the area. The structure must follow any codes regarding seismic design, as well as perform up to the standard set by various organizations, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

It has outstanding natural light that occupies every corner. It is a beautiful, comfortable, and functional learning space, putting student’s needs first and also prioritized the environment through various eco-friendly measures. The building was made not just to impress, but also to teach. It contains various open beams, suspension systems, elevators with windows to see the shaft, and countless other tools to help professors show their students the elements of a well-constructed building. The structure evokes a feeling of prestige, making everyone feel welcome, and inviting visitors and occupants to observe various labs as they walk through the hallways. The building is a forward-learning facility, designed to inspire people to create and innovate. It is a focal point on campus, and a wonderful learning space for everyone fortunate enough to have a class or lab

Passive design for heating, cooling and ventilating was put into consideration during the design process of the CIRS. The building relies significantly on natural ventilation when the outside conditions allow it. The central atrium uses the “stack effect” due to the automatic vents on the curtain walls and skylight. Windows are shaded on sun-facing sides of the building in order to block excess glare and heat gains. The permanently occupied spaces in the building have full access to natural light and outside views, which reduces the amount of artificial lighting and energy. Photovoltaic panels are located on the atrium skylight and on the window shades and they transform sunlight into electricity. Tall windows allow lots of natural light to reach the

The design was submitted for The Architecture Foundation competition in 2007. The competition was part of the Terry Farrell master
