Learning aims
The course of Construction of Building is aimed at providing students with the essential elements for control of the technological aspects of architectural design. It illustrates the complexity of the entire building process, from the identification stage of the needs of direct and indirect users of the buildings until their achievement. The Architectural Technology is presented as the core of basic knowledge for the proper planning of the building lifecycle, highlighting its key role in the design, use, maintenance / management and disposal of buildings.
Contents
The course provides students the basic knowledge and tools to manage the technical dimension of the architectural project through a systemic approach, for the understanding of construction processes and their logical and physical elements which, distinct and organized, form the building. Fundamentals of technological culture applied to building design are presented, particularly regarding to: materials and transformation processes; the building as a system, a product and a process; the relationship between the building and the environment; and the recent challenge of the architectural design, such as the management (design for building life cycle), sustainability (design for optimizing the environmental, financial and social resources), the use value (design so that the building effectively supports the activities of its users).
Topics
The building process and the regulatory system for the construction industry
Principle of building sustainability
Building life-cycle.
Didactic aspects
The course consists of theory lessons, with application examples, organized by subject, and seminars. Attendance is compulsory with detection of the number attending.
Learning assessment completion
The exam consists of an interview on the topics coveredduring the course. The final judgment is based on the verification of knowledge and level of detail of the topics covered in the lessons and in basic bibliography.
