Supervisor:

Department of Architectural Engineering

Synopsis:

Course is focused on complex approach to practice design of the building envelope, flat and sloped roofing, doors and windows, partition walls, floor structures and ceilings.

This course introduces theoretical foundations and computational approaches about two fields of building design: building physics and structure interaction. Integrated design of the nonbearing structures together with other building systems.

Study Objective:

Learn to apply theoretical knowledge from the study of building physics (thermal technology and acoustics) in the design of envelope and partition structures. Understand the requirements placed on packaging and partitioning structures. Learn the practical design of different types of packaging structures.
