Entry requirements |
Although without prerequisites, it is desirable that students have successfully completed the previous Architectural Construction, Project and Drawing units.

Learning outcomes |
The unit aims to serve as a corollary to the previous Architectural Construction courses, as well as a synthesis of the knowledge and skills acquired therein, through integration with the Project program. The unit's main purpose is to deepen and apply previously acquired concepts regarding the mutual and reciprocal implications between architectural form and various construction systems. This purpose can be broken down into three components: awareness of the notion of architecture as an essentially structural and constructed fact; awareness of the notion that architectural construction is processed through the coordination and harmonization of various subsystems; and awareness of design informed by a critical and ethical attitude toward society and the environment. Concurrently, the unit aims to deepen and develop the understanding of detailed design systems.

Syllabus |
1) Unit presentation: scope, objectives, methods, processes, and modes of representation; proposed bibliography.
2) Architecture as a system and as a system of systems; construction system, construction layer, and construction node; enclosure.
3) The activity of construction design as a system; process of iteration and increment; use of precedents: reference projects, technical information, commercial information; tracing of stratigraphic diagrams; graphic sketch: suitable modalities.
4) Appropriate modes of representation; construction section and construction detail; construction perspective and construction model; digital simulation.
5) Deepening and integration of the concept of construction system; systems present in contemporary construction; generic factors to consider in their selection, assembly, and integration.
6) Deepening and integration of the concept of structural system; relationship between form, span, and material.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The semester-long unit consists of 60 contact hours, corresponding to 5 ECTS credits. The contact hours are organized as follows: - 30 hours of theoretical-practical classes, where the program content, as well as the underlying concepts and ideas, are presented and critically discussed; - 30 hours of theoretical-practical classes, where the application of the content is tested, with special emphasis on an exercise characterizing the construction of a building previously studied in the Project. In these classes, in addition to applying the acquired knowledge, students are encouraged to engage in ongoing research and discovery.
