| Duration : | 20h Th, 20h Pr, 5d FW, 30h Proj. |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Shady Attia |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course covers the following subjects:
- Foundations
- Vertical walls
- Floors
- Roofing
- Openings and Frame
- External Finishes
- Interieures Finishes
During the explanation of all of these areas, the course will focus on:
- The analysis and evaluation of construction systems
- The Building products most used
- Execution plans used in construction of building |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course the student should be capable of:
- Observing and drawing the construction
- Knowing the system and its procedure of the load carrying structures and envelope.
- Knowing the main materials and constructions and their implementation.
- Applying and proposing architectural measures at the base of logical constructive types (constructive geometry, transmission of forces, stability, and elementary physics of the envelopes).
It has to permit the student to:
- Make an inventory: of references and understand the common constructive systems
- Comparing: identifying and differentiating the solutions
- To appoint: recognizing and knowing the parts of an construction ensemble
- Proportioning: materializing and ordering the different parts of the structure.
- Project: compose and communicate solutions
- Create and develop a building construction plans (modules, proportions, dimensions, layers)

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Flipped Class using Enriched Skeleton Concept Mapping |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course is comprised of 18 hours of theoretical classes and 18 hours practical work. It will take place in the 1st quadrimester.
Theoretical Lectures, Workshops, participatory and interactive teaching. It is expected that students read the modules of the course before the course. During the course, we will discuss the most difficult issues and we will do exercises. |

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Continuous assessment, quizzes during the course, final written exam.
A final written exam is organised in June and relates to all the theoretical material. The course notes cannot be used during the exam.
The mark for the practical work counts for 60 % of the final mark; the mark for the written exam counts for 40 % of the rest. |

Organizational remarks :
|
| Unjustified absences (beyond two times) will disqualify the student from attending the final exam. |
