Course Objectives		Design and integration of building elements. Design of building element systems within the frame work of constructional design requirements. Integration of building element systems in line with the holistic approach (roof/exterior wall, exterior wall/window-door, exterior wall/floor, floor/stair, exterior wall/partion, floor/partion etc.).
Course Description		Analysis, design and integration of building elements. External wall systems (walls in contact with atmosphere and ground), window and door systems, floor systems (ground, intermediate and exposed-soffit floors, suspended ceilings, raised floors), vertical circulation systems (ramps and stairs), roof systems (flat and sloping roofs), partition systems (fixed and moveable partitions). Design of building envelope systems, intermediate floor systems, stairs and partition systems within the framework of constructional design requirements, criteria and resources. Integration of building materials and assemblies in building element design. Integration of building element systems with each other and the structural system in line with the holistic approach. Making technically clear drawings and preparing models illustrating and identifying the assembly of materials, systems, and components appropriate for a building element design. Application-studio work: Analysis, design and integration of each building element and their intersections according to pre-defined criteria and constraints.
Course Outcomes		I (A2) Design Thinking Skills: Ability to raise clear and precise questions, use abstract ideas to interpret information, consider diverse points of view, reach well-reasoned conclusions, and test alternative outcomes against relevant criteria and standards. II (A4) Technical Documentation: Ability to make technically clear drawings, write outline specifications, and prepare models illustrating and identifying the assembly of materials, systems, and components appropriate for a building design. III (A5) Investigative Skills: Ability to gather, assess, record, apply, and comparatively evaluate relevant information within architectural coursework and design processes. IV (A7) Use of Precedents: Ability to examine and comprehend the fundamental principles present in relevant precedents and to make choices regarding the incorporation of such principles into architecture and urban design projects. V (B10) Building Envelope Systems: Understanding of the basic principles involved in the appropriate application of building envelope systems and associated assemblies relative to fundamental performance, aesthetics, moisture transfer, durability, and energy and material resources. VI (B12) Building Materials and Assemblies: Understanding of the basic principles utilized in the appropriate selection of construction materials, products, components, and assemblies, based on their inherent characteristics and performance, including their environmental impact and reuse.
