Many are asking takers in the Middle East regarding the design reformat which was already implemented there. Here are some pointers given by them in the ShoutMix. Many will really appreciate if they could give an idea of the questions asked in the exam.
from middle east:
colors+lighting
Columnatiojn adn intercolumniation! + temples
understand the TABLE on Section 7 and 8...the calculation of GFA,TGFA,FLAR,PSO,ISA,USA, Prohibited..at iba pa! signage...arceded and non arcaded!
"orientation din is the most impotant thing u shoul be familliarized with....the the orientation of the RROW."
"lahat nang sagot ay maaring tama! try to understand the behavior of SUN+WIND"
huwag magmadali sa pagsagot! masyadong tricky ang questions! sa una kala mo tam ka na pero kapag inulit mo tanong iba na ang hinahanap! be wise!
May Industrial, Residential, Commercial, Institutional at Site Planning subdivion projects ang cover ng design exams, lahat ng yan dapat alam mo.
At dapat marunong kang gumamit ng NBC rule7 & 8 kasi halos lahat ng tanung may depend sa laws. Kaya dapat marunong ka gumamit ng NBC.
"Kailangan mo pa din magdrawing sa A4 papaer para alam mo lahat ng itatanung nila"
Halimbawa....ilanpo ang terrazzo tiles na gagamitin sa sala.Dapat alam mo ang size palang ng terrazzo.
"Design Problem?Bibigyan kayo ng Project at sa situation na yun...doon nila tatanungin lahat ng details,setbacks...areas at approach mo sa design."
Actual Construction experience is a great weapon for the new format exam...Pang Architektu talaga at alam ang Bldg.Laws
"i-double check niyo yung mga sagot,and it's not impossible na pwede niyong ma-perfect yung exam basta may presence of mind and keep your faith to God."
"inalize niyo muna yung tanong and choose the best answer. then sa questionnaire muna kayo sumagot before transferring ur answer to aswer sheet,"
"construction book,and of course trust your experience and be familiarize sa law compliance alam ko kaya niyong sagutin lahat basta unawain niyo at"
sa mga magtetake ng exam i will advice you that don't memorize anything, kelangan lang ng extensive reading even magazines or other related
"read alot of docs with regards to ALE..all topic specially in history...."
structural..more on reading the plan..ilang rebars..ties.location of beam with respect ot column location..etch...etch
sa constrcution! sample umaulan? ano gagawin mo sa newly formed concrete?
"mga 25% ng exam makukuha sa rule 7 and 8, the rest ay sa actual practice"
"for example sa design, ano ang adjacent sa scrub-up room sa hospital?"
"ung exam ay 5 groups, 1) low to medium rise residential, 2) high rise residential 3) commercial, 4) institutional 5) special"
"me drafting part sa planning ung iplot mo ang lot based on given lot description at dun nakabase ang mga questions sa drawing na gagawin mo"
"spceially on min and maimum developmet potential ng isang lote..whre in most of us architect dont know..lalo na kung compliance sa LAW"

Halimbawa, R3 occupancy..what will be the tgfa of the bldg. using minimum flar? what will be the tgfa using maximum flar? using the pso w/o firewall what will be the AMBF for the development? what will be the maximum bhl?what will be the TOSL using the minimum setback? what is the gfa using the maximum flar? wat is important really it to familarized all this tables...table 7 is more on buildings...and section is more on lot or setbcak compliance..i hope u c some directional light...
ReplyDeletesalamat po anonymous sa enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteano po ba talaga ang max height ng firewall at ng arcade (not form the ground line) mula sa first (bottom)line of projection pataas?
okey naman ang exam format sa design,noong nakaraang exam dito sa Khobar, kailangan lang ng presence of mind at pag unawa sa mga katanungan, lahat naman ng tanong ay based sa ibinigay na problem. then sa rule 7 and 8 na ipinadala nila sa exam, ay lahat din nandoon ang mga fomula to get what they want in the questions, then kahit walang drafting,, talagang aabot din ng 10 to 12 hours din bago mo matapos, sa pag analyze lang ng problem. kailangan, sagutan mo muna sa questionaire. then transfer ur final answer sa answer sheet.
ReplyDeletemaglaan ka ng 3 hours para sa pag shade sa final answers. be careful din sa pag transfer ng mga final answers mo.
anyhow, hindi din natin masasabi , na sa susunod na exam, ganito parin ang ibibigay. kasi for every examination, kakaiba ang mga tanong. so kailanagn nalang maging wide reader, kahit ano basta related sa arki,mga magazines news, books, etc. then importante din yong experience sa site, at sa work natin. structural , concrete, site planning and interior design,
1. firewall height - 2 layers nang CHB above roofing or 0.40 m. (fig. vii.21.)
ReplyDelete2. arcade height - ang face nang arcade is now the "outermost face of the bldg" (OFB) - it will have an incremental setback meaning hindi siya talaga na straight pataas. (fig. viii.g.13. & fig. x.2.)
PLEASE DO COMMENT/CORRECTIONS IF ANY... TY
Hence the primary purpose of PD 1096 and other supplementary building laws is really to provide for all building a “minimum” framework standard and requirements. As to the query regarding firewall if it is residential or any building use, again it will be depending on the max BHL provided by the author as long as it will not be detrimental to life and safety of the end user. If there is a Design guidelines provide by a developer/LGU or as prescribed by ATO.
ReplyDeleteFor residential and other building use
1.slab roof = max BHL perhaps height of parapet provided
2.sloped roofing apex or top of roofing + minimum of 0.40 meters
3.as per design guidelines or local ordinances only if provided
For Arcade
4.minimum of 3.00 meters
5.as per the design articulation of arcade considering human scale,utilities consideration,overhead as required per building use,
6.as per design guidelines or local ordinances only if provided
LUMABAS D2 SA QATAR MIN. DIMESION OF ELEV.SHAFT..
ReplyDeleteTAPOS LUMABAS DIN SAN MO ILAGAY UNG DOWNSPOUT FOR EASY MAINTENANCE.
@ all: please provide "reference title" to what section, table or figure we can find your answers if it is under PD 1096 or any...
ReplyDeleteTerrazzo tile doesn't have any standard dimensions since it is composed of marble and stone chips. it is set in a cementitious or resinous ground and matrix, grind and polished when dry; See DK Ching
