This teaching unit complements and takes further the description of materials, elements and methods of construction in previous teaching units and develops specific questions linked to the practice of construction in complex situations and in real conditions. The unit deals with construction in an architectural dimension and aims to explore particular methods of implementation.
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
1 | The objective of this teaching unit is to generate the necessary skills to bring architectural objectives into line with how to translate them into material terms. This teaching unit focuses particularly on one dimension of the profile of a Bachelor level graduate in Architecture: developing a technical dimension. Specific learning outcomes: By the end of the course, students will be able to put forward appropriate building solutions regarding construction in complex situations. identify the methods of organisation of work on site. Contribution to the learning outcomes reference framework: Use the technical dimension
Express an architectural procedure
