Learning unit contents
This course provides an opportunity to apply the concepts covered in the course "Sustainable Building Construction Techniques IA - Elements - Part A."
Through a practical case study of a simple single-family house, students explore the implementation of various construction techniques while taking into account the main technical constraints involved in building construction: structural stability, thermal and acoustic insulation, and water and airtightness.
This practical application is carried out through the production of execution drawings, including plans, sections, elevations, and construction details.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, the student should be able to:
- Observe and represent building construction;
- Know the main load-bearing and envelope systems;
- Know the main construction materials and their implementation techniques;
- Apply and propose architectural measures that are coherent in terms of structural stability, thermal and acoustic insulation, and water and airtightness.
- Inventory: reference and understand common construction systems;
- Compare: identify and differentiate between solutions;
- Name: recognize and name the parts of a built structure;
- Proportion: materialize and organize the different building components;
- Design: compose and communicate solutions;
- Create and design a building at constructive scales (modules, proportions, dimensions, thicknesses).
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Obligatory prerequisite
ARCH3258-1 Techniques de construction durable des bâtiments 1A - éléments - Partie A
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course includes theoretical lectures, practical work integrated into a project, and site visits. These activities allow students to apply the concepts covered in class through a step-by-step approach, ranging from technical analysis to detailed graphic representation.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Further information:
Course delivered exclusively in-person.
Sessions take place from February to May and combine lectures, integrated project work, and educational site visits. Active participation is essential for effective learning.

Written work / report
Continuous assessment
Further information:
Exam during the official session
All exam sessions
- In person
- Oral assessment
- Continuous assessment
Continuous assessment is based on various practical assignments completed during the semester. These may include individual or group work.
The oral exam involves the individual defense of the practical work carried out during the semester.
Repeated unexcused absences (starting from two) from course sessions may result in a grade penalty, or if such absences significantly hinder the work of the group or an individual student, in exclusion from the assessment (this applies either to the group or to the student concerned, depending on the situation).
Attendance at field days (site visits) is mandatory.
Likewise, submitting incomplete work or failing to meet deadlines will automatically lead to a point deduction, or where applicable, exclusion from the assessment if the deficiencies prevent proper understanding of the full scope of the work.
Work placement(s)
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
The accumulation of unjustified absences (more than two) will result in the student being unable to take part in the final evaluation.
