The purpose of this assignment is to identify the difference between architectural building materials and structural building materials. We were asked to choose a building and then identify the basic building elements in the construction of buildings in two A3 boards. We also had to add the architect's and building's history .

The purpose of this project is to identify and understand the structural elements in construction and their applications. Through the construction manual drawing assessment, I got a better knowledge of construction, material and technology. It was a group project and we were asked to draw 9 set of drawings with appropriate scale.
Reflection
In this module I feel I got a better understanding on building construction. I gained knowledge on different building materials and their applications during construction. Although the module was conducted online, I enjoyed doing it. I had no problem understanding what the tutors were trying to convey. The tutors were very patient and was always ready to help us.
