Learning outcomes Allow understanding and deepen already consolidated notions regarding: 1. How construction systems are interconnected with the conceptual systems of architecture, contributing to the holistic understanding of the building as a system of systems; 2. Identification, characterization and representation of the main construction systems of contemporary architecture (structural, spatial closure, infrastructural), especially when applied to the design of a collective housing building; 3. How construction systems should contribute to aspects related to efficiency in the use of available resources; 4. Practices and graphic codes in force in the constructive characterization of a building, especially with regard to its detailing and subsequent communication to the work; 5. Graphic and volumetric representation of the construction entities under study, taking into account the scales to be used and the information to be transmitted.
Syllabus 1. Constructive systems as a counterpart to conceptual systems - interconnection and interdependence; designing the building as a system of systems; critical deepening of the notions of coordination and compatibility of different construction systems; deepening the understanding of the implications for the formal expression and language of buildings; 2. Deepening, through graphic representation, the characterization of the main construction systems of contemporary architecture, in particular structural, spatial closure and infrastructural systems; 3. Construction systems and efficiency in the use of available resources; cultural, technological and economic consideration; 4. Practices, codes and standards in force in the design and dimensioning of construction systems 5. Graphic and volumetric representation of the entities under study; most common dimensions of construction elements; constructive cuts and constructive nodes; constructive perspectives and models.
