Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the relationship between architecture and construction. This is presented through examples of concrete architecture. A basic overview of the basic terminology of buildings and structures, the technical design of a building with wall construction systems from foundation to roof and their applications in architecture is given. They are introduced to the principles and design of wall and ceiling structures, vertical circulation in a building, including the treatment of elements and stair space in the context of the whole building with emphasis on its architectural expression. The historical context and current design options are explained, the material and product base is discussed, the relationship to the building's performance and the critical details. The aim is to provide an understanding of the importance and principles of depicting and drawing individual structures in the various stages of project documentation. The purpose is to introduce students to the possibilities of construction elements and techniques in the context of the advantages and disadvantages of their use. The lectures are designed to teach civil engineering from the perspective of the architect's use of design. Individual materials, elements and structures are permanently embedded in the concept of the home with consideration of the related perspectives of the collaborating professions. Emphasis is placed on constructability and craftsmanship. The link of the technical solution in relation to the artistic or architectural expression. Sustainability, durability and the economic aspect of the solution are not neglected. Emphasis is placed on the consideration of solution options, conceptual thinking. The lecture series involves modern teaching technologies - the use of illustrative videos, tutorials. Examples of architecturally valuable realisations and the use of the latest materials and technologies are presented. Basic methods and approaches to designing structures are then practically verified in exercises.

Requirements:

In order to be awarded credit, it is necessary to hand in the processed assignments in a hand-processed folder and the required attendance for the exercise must also be met.

The course concludes with a written test via the Moodle platform, which is written by all students in the course on the announced dates (with alternate dates for make-up tests). The second make-up dates are in the form of an individual oral examination to test knowledge.

Assessment criteria according to the CTU Examination Regulations.
