MIM 484 - Construction Project

Course Objectives

1. To gain the ability to find holistic, ready for construction, architectural solutions considering constructional and technological factors, legislative factors (codes, standards etc) and aesthetic criteria in the process of design, development, and integration of building sub-systems taking user requirements and environmental factors into account.
2. To gain the ability to generate and to integrate building elements and their details in the context of a comprehensive design.
3. To gain the ability to select proper building materials and to select and arrange structural system components in the context of a comprehensive design.
4. To gain the ability to select or to generate passive and active environmental control systems considering energy efficiency and sustainability criteria and to integrate those systems with other building sub-systems in the context of a comprehensive design.
5. To gain the ability to prepare drawings and other related documents (specifications etc) for each design stage according to the relevant national and/or international legislations and drawing principles in the context of a comprehensive design.

Course Description

Material selection and desicion making on; building construction type and environmental control systems, structural system arrangement in comprehensive building design. Preparation of projects for all design stages (preliminary, developed, construction) according to building regulations (i.e. earthquake directive, thermal insulation directive, noise control directive, fire protection directive). Integration and coordination of building sub-systems (building elements, structural, service) with other building components. Preparing documents for each design stage according to the relevant national and/or international legislations and drawing principles.
