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 :
