Course contents :
|
| This course falls within the three year Bachelor's CONSTRUCTION course, and is jointly taught by three tenured lecturers:
Ø Pierre LEBLANC, course head for the 1st Bachelors course
ØJosé STERKENDRIES, course head for the 2nd Bachelors course
Ø François LAURENT, course head for the 3rd Bachelors course
The three lecturers work closely together and regular presentations from non-tenured lecturers may be organised each year.
Over the three years, the course addresses general and traditional techniques relating to the construction of simple buildings - from the ground to the roof, including finishings -, providing a basic understanding of subjects, materials, production and implementation methods relating to the various stages and aspects of building construction following the following internal curriculum:
B1 > FROM THE GROUND TO THE ROOF: observations, reasoning and principles
B2 > CONSTRUCTING THE EXTERNAL ENVELOPE: analyses, connections and details
B3 > INSIDE THE ENVELOPE: partitions, junctions and finishings
The programme may be interrupted and/or occasionally modified by specific classes or parts of classes relating to projects developed during the architecture workshop.
The particularity of the CONSTRUCTION course in the 2nd Bachelors course is defined in the following section but in particular it consists of helping students to understand, over the course of the three years:
-that the technology of construction is not a value in itself but is necessary to architecture as a means of achieving coherence, thoroughness and performance
-that the art of good construction is that it meets human requirements, rather than technological ones
The list of session titles is presented on the course interface on the Faculty of Architecture site: http://webarchi.isall.ulg.ac.be/
The title of the CONSTRUCTION course in the 2nd Bachelors: CONSTRUCTING THE EXTERNAL ENVELOPE: analyses, connections and details - defines the scope of the subjects studied. ; the 20 theory lectures include:
-for the first term, the study of complex 'vertical' walls delimiting the built volume
-for the second term, the study of complex 'horizontal and oblique' partitions delimiting the built volume
Materials, systems and complex structures are analysed from the perspective of their evolution over time, their hygrothermic nature, in a theoretical manner and through detailed examples, particularly in terms of introducing materials and/or walls. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By the end of the year, students should be able to demonstrate, independently of their basic knowledge of subjects, materials, production and implementation methods relating to the various stages of building construction, that they are capable, in relation to the subject taught, of:
Ø understanding and thus analysing a complex construction
Ø imagining and thus reasoning and constructing
Ø communicating and thus clarifying and summarising through drawing and writing |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| -Knowledge of the principles taught in the 1st Bachelors and the ability to undertake technical reasoning
- knowledge and mastery of architectural drawing conventions. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Lectures illustrated by slide shows and short application exercises |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Attendance is required at all classes |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The syllabus consists of printed material including the documents seen in class. Students should annotate these documents during class. In addition, three reference works are used for the exploration of constructed systems:
- Bâtir, Manuel de la construction, René Vittone, Presses Polytechniques et Universitaires Romandes,
- Construire l'architecture, du matériau brut à l'édifice, Andrea Deplazes, Birkhäuser
- Pratique de la construction, MITTAG, Office international de librairie (VF) , Bruxelles
Students should also refer to the 1st year syllabus. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Assessment is organised as follows:
Overall assessment in the first session of the year through analysis of examples chosen from student projects at the end of the
1st Bachelors - comments and corrections - formative assessment >>> ungraded.
Individual assessment at the end of the first term - written examination; graded. 50% of the total - can be improved in the end of year session.
Overall assessment through analysis of examples chosen from student projects at the end of the first term - comments and corrections - formative assessment >>> ungraded.
Individual assessment at the end of the second term - written examination; graded. 50% of the total |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| No work placements are directly related to this course but a specific course is planned in the 2nd year of the Bachelor; see WORK PLACEMENT code ARCH0124. |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| The year is organised in line with the provisional calendar set out above; changes may take place during the year. All students are requested to regularly consult information posted on the intranet on http://webarchi.isall.ulg.ac.be/. |
