Main themes
In Brussels, the teaching is cumulative and progressive, from the shell to the finishing details, while in Tournai construction and materials are taught in a global way; in this way, students can form logical groupings.
This teaching unit describes the construction methods and assembly of complex walls which must respond to multiple requirements (structural, constructional, thermal, functional etc.). It links different technical disciplines and shows a range of different response to specific situations in architecture.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1

Specific learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will be able to

  • be familiar with and refer to the physical and construction properties of the main materials and elements of construction.
  • be familiar with and refer to a wide range of elements of construction.
  • produce a budget for technical details combining the different requirements in building, insulation and waterproofing.
  • make use of technical documentation involved in construction techniques.
  • develop appropriate building proposals in relation to a simple architectural objective.

Contribution to the learning outcomes reference framework:

Use the technical dimension

  •  Be familiar with and describe the main technical principles of building
  • Observe and assess the main construction principles of a building
  • Be able to apply the various basic technical principles in a producing a work of architecture
