September 2011 – December 2011

1st Semester project was about a single family house. This was the first

study project that was made in our studies at UCN. The main focus

was on the introduction to the basics of drafting and isometric

sketching. At this point, most of the drawings were made by hand.

The later development enabled us to visualize the building with

different sections, key-points and floor plan drawings.

This was one of the most successful research reports I have done so far in

my studies and with quite an interesting topic of Modern concrete methods

in building industry. The report was integrated with my Bachelor Project

and gave some share of inspirational tools to use in order to improve the

overall performance for residential buildings and comfort for workers to

build it. Aside of that, the report looks briefly into concrete methods and

other important methods on how to make building according to nowadays

rules. Also was made comparison of different methods showing problems

that can be expected when working with chosen method in the same time

when client wants to achieve low energy building requirements.
