Course Objectives 1. Concepts of building, building sub-systems.
2. Recognition of building element systems.
3. Recognition of building construction methods.
Course Description Concepts of building, architectural and construction technology. Introduction of building and construction methods according to the systems approach.
Interaction of user-environment-building and introduction of environmental factors and expected performance characteristics in this
context. Introduction of building subsystems.
Presentation of building and construction methods with examples by considering building elements (wall, floor, roof, stairs, partitions) as systems.
Course Outcomes 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.
Investigative Skills: Ability to gather, assess, record, apply, and comparatively evaluate
relevant information within architectural coursework and design processes.
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.
Sustainability: Ability to design projects that optimize, conserve, or reuse natural and built
resources, provide healthful environments for occupants/users, and reduce the
environmental impacts of building construction and operations on future generations
through means such as carbon-neutral design, bioclimatic design, and energy efficiency.
Structural Systems: Understanding of the basic principles of structural behaviour in
withstanding gravity and lateral forces and the evolution, range, and appropriate application of
contemporary structural systems
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.
Building Service Systems: Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application
and performance of building service systems such as plumbing, electrical, vertical
transportation, security, and fire protection systems.
