Learning outcomes |
General goals:
- To make students aware of the notion of architecture as an essentially structural and constructed fact.
- To make students aware of the notion that the construction of architecture is processed through the coordination and harmonization of several subsystems, variable in time and space, often disparate, non-coherent and even antagonistic to each other.
- to make students aware of a design informed by a critical and ethical attitude towards society and the environment.
Specific goals:
- To enable students to understand the constructive raison d'etre of architectural forms, both traditional and contemporary.
- To enable students to understand light-weight construction systems.
- To enable students to understand detailed design systems.
- To train students for an architectural design informed by physical and structural feasibility.
