| ENVR 2A04 Building Technology & Structure 1 0.25 Credit(s) Studio/Seminar |
|
| Students will gain a thorough understanding of building materials and construction techniques. This knowledge impacts on initial design decisions and is essential to the successful completion of structures. An understanding of fundamentals of natural and man-made structures is equally necessary for the development of strong and functional design. Studio assignments will develop the students' skills in drafting and computer-aided design (CAD). The application of these skills will support the student's understanding of building technology, materials and structures. The course is integrated with Colour & Form studio courses. The course will be delivered using lectures and in-class discussions. Both hand-drawing and computer -aided drawing will help students investigate various systems of construction and materials. All assignments require research and presentations that include verbal, written and visual components. Student performance will be evaluated on the basis of successful completion of assignments. |
