Description
Every building has a foundation, walls, roof, flooring and many other common elements. But, this doesnt mean that all the buildings are the same. They can be classified or grouped into different types based on different factors such as the size, the height, the life and more.So, you know that there are different types of buildings but, you may have a question that why should you know them. The answer to this question lies within the definition of Building planning.
Building planning or designing is a procedure where you are going to divide an area of the site by considering the available funds in such a way that
-
There is enough space for all the activities
-
with optimum ventilation, illumination and other features.
In the first point, it is mentioned that as a planner you need to allocate enough space for different activities. So, you need to know what activities are going to take place in a particular type of building. Once you know the activities you will then get to know about the space required for each activity.
To research and come up with a new list of activities for every new building is not a good idea because:
-
It increases the time for creating a plan
-
And It has a great risk of failure because it has not been tested.
Hence, architects and engineers have documented and grouped the similar types of buildings with specific names as residential, educational, mercantile etc. Over time the requirements of different buildings have been realized, the optimum dimensions for different rooms were known and all this information has been noted to use in future. So, building typology has made it possible to work quickly by following the suggestions noted from the past experiences.
In this course we have documented all that information of building typology into beautiful chunks of videos. So that you can learn this important subject in easy and engaging manner.
