3. INTRODUCTION
This assignment is an integration project with Architecture
Studio 5. The aim of this project is to students to consider
the construction aspects throughtout the design process.
The design project is a community library in Jalan Haji
Salleh, Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.
In this particular design, the library emphasizes the impor-
tance of natural light and acoustic quality. Large opening
can be found throughout the library. As the site is located
among a shophouse, the facade facing the context is only
limited to the north and south elevation. Therefore, the
opening also acts an interaction between the interior and
the exterior.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
1. Positioning of components on readied
foundation
2. Erection of components (columns and
beams)
3. Installation of bracing to stabilize struc-

4. Site bolting or welding of components
5. Addition of substructure (girder, joist,-

Mild steel, also known as carbon steel, is a
type of steel that contain a small percent-
age of carbon. The steel with a higher car-
bon content has greater strength and lower
melting point. However, it reduces ductility
and weldability.
• Long-life durability
• Lightweight
• Elimination of formwork reduces construc-
tion waste
• High strength-to-weight ratio allows less
members to support greater load
• Provide large span space at low cost
• Small space used provide freedom of space
• Prefabricated members reduce on-site con-
struction time
• Bend instead of crack under great force
wind and seismic load, greatly reduce the
risk of sudden collapse
• Lessen structural load and subsequently-
material cost
• Environmental friendly
• Highly susceptible to fire. At 500o
C, struc-
tural strength is halved. Prevention can be
achieved with addition of fire resistive.
• Prone to corrosion in humid environment.
Prevention can be achieved with applica-
tion of waterproof coating

A lightweight construction with a grid-like
skeleton of vertical and horizontal members
in which the substructure are attached.
JSPL has pioneered the production of medi-
um and heavy hot rolled parallel flange beams
and column sections in India. These sections
are cost-effective through savings in steel con-
sumption and provide ultimate design flexibil-
ity to the structural designers.
Steel frame construction allows the design
with a long narrow nature to have lesser num-
ber of components used as compared to con-
ventional concrete construction, thus provide
more design flexibility and daylighting.

Composite steel deck is the assimilation of
twoload-carryingstructuralmembers.Com-
mon examples are conrete fill and girder.
Established in Seoul, Korea, Duckshin Housing
is company specialized in steel construction
materials, deck plates, deck construction, iron
works and import business.
The thin yet soundproof property is a essential
factor in the library design. This construction
technique also facilitates large space span,
which enable easy space planning.

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that
sandwich an interlayer between two pieces of
glass. The interlayer is typicallypolyvinyl butyral
or ethylene-vinyl acetate. In the event of break-
ing, it holds the shattered glass pieces together
and appear as web of cracks. Laminated glass is
heavier than common glass. It also provides UV
protection and sound insulation.
Glazed roof system is highly compatible with
steel frame construction to span a wide area.
The design’s north-south orientation without
any westward or eastward facade also poses a
high demand of natural lighting for comfort-
able reading.

Beside fufilling all basic requirement of a wall
system, the freedom of final finishing is an im-
portant feature. The construction of external
wall is also versatile and time-saving.
SITE CONTEXT
1. Cladding of steel column with a protective
layer of fire resistant board
2. Erection of common timber stud along with
top and bottom wall plate
3. Addition of bracing to reduce lateral buckling
if necessary.
4. Insert mineral wool in stud space for insula-
tion.
5. Installation of gypsum sheathing and breather
membrane to prevent moisture penetration.
6. Installation of timber panel as finish
7. Connection of glass panels to the timber fin
on the timber panel with spider fitting.
8. Application of silicon sealant between glass
panels
External wall insulation systems are gener-
ally comprised of an insulant, a fixing and a
final finish. The main framework is typically
made of steel or timber. Waterproof and in-
sulative material are generally included. The
choice of the exterior and interior finishing
is pretty wide and flexible.

Double skin can used fro many purpose. In this
case, the skin serve as to introduce different
level of brightness and texture in reaction to
the weather. It also add interest to the view
from interior to exterior.
SITE CONTEXT
There are many different types of dou-
ble-skin facade that serve different purpos-
es. Initially, the double-skin facade is a sys-
tem of building consisting of two skins, or
facades, placed in such a way that air flows
in the intermediate cavity. The ventilation of
the cavity can be natural, fan supported or
mechanical.

9. FACADE DESIGN SCHEME 1
SOUTH ELEVATION [FRONT]
SCALE 1:100
DOUBLE-SKIN FACADE A
Void
The exposed area are mostly curtain win-
dow without the cover of double-skin fa-
cade. These spaces need lights and view
more than privacy. These space are also
double volume space, the sound echo less
thus acoustic aspect is not as emphasized.

10. FACADE DESIGN SCHEME 2
SOUTH ELEVATION [BACK]
SCALE 1:100
DOUBLE-SKIN FACADE A
Solid
Latticed double-skin facade allows only dif-
fused natural light to penetrate. Only opening
that need privacy is placed behind the latticed
skin, such as office area, toilets and private
study room. Most importantly, the latticed skin
can dilute the exterior noise from entering the
private area that need silence more.

11. FACADE DESIGN SCHEME 1
NORTH ELEVATION [FRONT]
SCALE 1:100
DOUBLE-SKIN FACADE
Solid
Solid wall without any openings. Allocate to
private area. As solid wall does not allowed
natural light penetration, they are designed as
long narrow strip. Therefore, the area with sol-
id wall can still accept minimal diffused light
from adjacent space with openings.

12. FACADE DESIGN SCHEME 2
NORTH ELEVATION [BACK]
SCALE 1:100
DOUBLE-SKIN FACADE B
Void
The openings of finned double-skin facade
is larger. A balance of natural light and shade
by fin is achieved. Therefore, large area of
void can be applied on the facade. The fin
of the double-skin also framed the view ro
exterior.
