Course contents :
|
| The course "Techniques of sustainable construction of buildings I" addresses the technical, constructive and materials in relation to sustainable architectural concepts. The semester creates a base for a comprehensive approach to building and materials within a basic but coherent mastering of technique in architectural design.
This course is to thoroughly study sustainable building techniques in terms of principles. The course covers the hardware construction, and constructive approach in parallel to the basics of the various building materials and their implementation. Both components - construction and materials - are treated in a logical sequence that helps the mutual understanding of the two materials and thus allowing to master their interdependence.
- Sustainable design and construction, and life cycle assessment of buildings.
- The anatomy of buildings (spatial, structural and material)
- Building materials (classification and properties)
- Classification of structural elements (foundations, walls, slabs, beams, roofing)
- Systems building foundations (foundations, reinforcement, floors)
- Systems construction of bearing walls (wall, insulation, brick)
- Systems of wood constructions wood (wood framing)
- Roofs and green roofs
- Envelope: Lightweight facades, curtain wall (curtain and grid), cladding
- Stairs
- Openings, base, walls

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of this course the student should be able to:
- Observe and draw a building construction.
- Know the systems and methods for a supporting structure and an envelope.
- Know the main building materials and their technical implementation.
- Apply and propose logic, structural, measured-based construction types (constructive geometries, power transmission, stability, elementary physical envelopes)
It should enable students to:
- Make an inventory of: References and understand the common construction systems,
- Compare: identify and differentiate solutions
- Define and name: recognize and know the parts of a building construction
- Proportion: materialize and order the different parts of a structure,
- Projecting: compose and share solutions.
Other skills:
- Create and design a building to constructive scales (modules, proportions, sizing and thickness).
- Coordinate a team to develop, agree and make a work plan.
- Initiate self-learning and knowledge management based on its knowledge and access to appropriate sources of information and be able to evaluate them.
- Persevere despite difficulties or initial error to find an optimal solution.
- Document and communicate a project.
- Plan their activities to make the most out of the project within the set time frame.
