  1. Understanding the Design and Construction Processes through DIY for Students of the Built Environment Built Environment Education Conference London 5 – 6th September 2005 Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD

  2. Contents • Introduction • The problem • Proposed solution • DIY • Course design • Course delivery • Impact to students • Conclusion Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  3. Introduction • Built environment programs at IIUM • U/g and P/g studies in • Architecture • Urban & Regional Planning • Landscape Architecture • Quantity Surveying • Applied Arts and Design Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  4. Introduction • The problem • Difficulties faced by freshmen in understanding the processes • Design complex • Construction and technical • Roles and functions of key players (management) Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  5. Proposed solution • Design a new course • Objectives 1.To make students understand the processes of design and construction (the technical aspect) 2.To make students understand the roles and functions of key players (management) Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  6. Proposed solution • Concept of DIY • Integrate theory + practice explain + doing • Multi-disciplinary Role play representing architects, engineers, surveyors, constructors • ‘Near-real’ work environment Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  7. Proposed solution • The course design • Integrated multi-disciplinary project (AQS 1301) • Life project • Brief + project planning • Site inventory + analysis + estimating • Design + construction drawings + BQ • Construction • Motivation, leadership Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  8. Proposed solution • The course delivery • Within a semester (3rd Semester 8 full weeks) • Three parts Part 1 Lecture and tutorials (week 1-4) Part 2 Studio + critic (week 1-4) Construction (week 5-8) Part 3 Motivation camp (week 4) • Assessment Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  9. Observation 2001 - 2004 • Course started 2001 • Projects • Recreational park (01), Bus stop (02) • Gateway (03), Gazebo (04) • Observations on the students 1.Enjoyed the ‘near-real’ environment (they design, they construct, under supervision, assisted by skilled workmen) 2.Understand better the processes of design and construction Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  10. Observation 2001 - 2004 • Observations on the students 3.Understand better the roles and functions of key players (architects, engineers, surveyors, constructors) 4.Creative in solving problems 5.Disputes happened (in all aspects of the processes) Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  11. Case study – The Gazebo • The course delivery – the gazebo (‘04) • 150 freshmen + 4 staff • Design + construction • Area of site 40m2 (gazebo = 9m2) • Cost limit RM20,000.00 (GBP2,900.00) • Duration 1st March 04 – 20th May 04 • Assisted by 2 skilled workmen • Completed within budget but delayed by 3 months Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  12. Case study – The Gazebo Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  13. Case study – The Gazebo Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  14. Impact to student • Simple survey • Students that have been involved • 25 out / 23 returned (92%) • Results • Understand design + construction83% • Understand roles and functions of key players70% • Understand leadership + communication61% • Results correlates with observations Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  15. Conclusion • AQS 1301 achieved its objectives • The concept of DIY is instrumental in making AQS 1301successful • AQS 1301 should be continued _____________________________ • Constraints in delivery • Budget • suitable sites • Large no of students Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005

  16. Acknowledgments • Co-author Syed Khuzzan • IIUM • BEEC 05 • Thank you Khairuddin Abdul Rashid PhD BEEC, London 5-6 Sept 2005
