Introduction â?–

After a long term of learning in-class and gaining knowledge, it is important to get to know how to implement this knowledge in the field of work, and for the student to practice his skills in a real projects and identify the risks, make decisions and take action.

â?–

Collage of Architecture and Planning in Qassim University has made the (Summer Training Program) to achieve these goals, and put it into two parts; First and Second Summer Training, which the first aims for the indoor practice, and the second aims for the outdoor/field practice. !3

About the training company

Beeah Planners,Engineers, Architects Beeah was established by Abdul-Rahman Hussaini and Ali Shuaibi in 1975. It provides Consulting services in Planning, Design, Engineering and Construction Management for the development of regions and cities, design of buildings, interior design, and in civil works in Saudi Arabia and overseas.

Beeah emphasized the importance of information. Since its inception, by establishing a devoted team for the development of computer packages for planning, building designs, engineering and management. And also by maintaining a growing professional Library that holds thousands of volumes of specialized books in addition to continuous subscription to professional magazines and membership of national and international institutions. Its members, Architects, Engineers and professional experts, are provided with laboratory and workshop facilities for testing and experimenting, building models and color processing and printing. The carefully selected members participate in seminars and in-house courses that are normally attended by members of other institutions which provide excellent opportunities for exchanging professional experience and concepts.

Beeah also has developed extensive training programs for Architecture and Engineering students.

Beeah adopted the comprehensive team approach, for every project, large or small, since its inception. Consequently the BEE was selected as the symbol for the team that works hard for the benefit of society.

First Project

Central Archive - Ministry of Justice ❖

The first project we received at the office was a Central Archive in Riyadh for the Ministry of Justice.

❖

The project is on Prince Mansour bin Abdulaziz St.

❖

The area of the project is 10,146 sqm.

❖

With allowable building coverage is not more than 60% of the total area.

❖

The design requires storing capacity up to 65million documents or what is equal to 325thousand folders.

❖

The project requires safety of documents and damage&lost protection by applying the international standard (ISO 11799). !7

Design Process ❖

We started by acknowledging the requirements of the project and studying similar projects, and the client requests.

❖

Secondly, we generated the concept ideas, and working on the bubble diagrams.

❖

We moved from design concept to studying the spaces needed to store the archive files and how to storing types.

!8

❖

Being done with the large spaces we analyzed the archiving process and the spaces the files goes through.

❖

Then studying the circulation inside and outside the building such as loading and unloading.

❖

Review the safety requirements of the designs.

❖

We came out with multiple alternatives and offered them to the client.

Alternative 1:

Second Project

Miqat Alsail Alkabeer The Miqat project is an old project at the office, it was received from the Ministry of Haj & Omrah in 2004 as a “Planning Project� and has its obstacles through poor communication from the ministry.

However, it was taken to a further level in designing the units and every building in it but not finished completely, so we received some tasks for it to finish it. !11

Wudu’ Building ❖

As new trainers we received the task of re-drawing working drawings of the “wudu” building in the Miqat project under the supervision of the architect: Abdullah Saleh.

❖

We learnt what is needed to illustrate as architects in the office to the workers at the field and what is most important such as the total thickness of the floors.

❖

It was also an experience to deal with such building with that level of moisture and wetness. !12

Landscape Design ❖

The Miqat project reached the landscaping stage at the time we were training at the Beeah office.

❖

The site contains a strong contour and many levels.

❖

We started by generating ideas and creating a concept for the site.

❖

After that, we divided into 3 groups: ❖

The buses area group.

❖

The central area group.

❖

The family section group. !13

Landscape Design ❖

We started sketching ideas as the family section group.

❖

We implemented the levels of contour to the designs and considered the crowed factor for this project.

❖

Then reviewed by the supervising architect and getting instructions.

❖

Editing the work and drawing it by AutoCAD to submit.

❖

Collecting the work from the other groups and creating a full landscape design with the same identity and concept. !14

Calculating Quantities ❖

After finishing the landscape design we moved into calculating quantities of the facilities of the Miqat.

❖

The trainers’ supervisor distributed the buildings and facilities of the Miqat to the trainers to calculate.

❖

I received the Ambulance building to calculate.

❖

We calculated from amount of digging for foundation to the amount of meters painted.

❖

There are multiple ways of calculation: ❖

Areas, two dimensions, square meters.

❖

Volumes, three dimensions, cubic meters.

❖

Units, by piece or whole set, such as doors or x-ray rooms. !17

Building Codes ❖

After done with calculating quantities, we took a lecture about building codes and what are the differences and similarities between them, moreover, when to use which.

❖

There are three building codes that are applicable in Saudi Arabia and must be used in design:

❖

❖

Saudi Building Code.

❖

Gulf Building Code.

❖

NFPA.

❖

IBC.

We applied those codes on our assigned buildings and made sure of safety codes are applied !18

Lectures at Beeah Co. ❖

At Beeah Co. we attended several lectures in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and in Civil Engineering.

❖

Civil Engineering:

❖

❖

“Rain Drainage Networks” and how it works.

❖

Relationship between the architect and civil engineer.

❖

Building enforcement and how to calculate forces.

Electrical Engineering: ❖

Kinds of voltage and currents and there uses.

❖

How to calculate total voltage and when the converter is needed

❖

Solar energy and new technologies. !19

Lectures at Beeah Co. ❖

Mechanical Engineering: ❖

Uses of mechanical engineering in buildings.

❖

Air conditioning types and how to specify the best option for spaces.

❖

Conclusion ❖

❖

Archive Project: ❖

Studying the space and allowable building coverage at first.

❖

Searching for best ways to use the space in your project such as the storing kinds in this case.

❖

Giving multiple design alternatives to the client to choose what’s best.

Miqat Project: ❖

Knowing what is needed from the architect in working drawings and how to handle it best.

❖

Creating unite concept and various ideas when it comes to group design.

❖

Knowing how to handle a crowd in design.

❖

Calculating Quantities is important to know the costs of your project.

❖

Implementing the safety codes should be considered while designing.

❖

Team work organization

❖

Timing is everything, and should deliver the product in time for good influence.

❖

All kinds of majors should be cooperative to create a well-done project. !23
