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.

Schedule and content of lectures:
1. lecture
Architecture and Construction
Architecture, construction, factors of building realization. Evolution of building structures.
2.Lecture
Construction process, development of project documentation, modular coordination in construction.
Creation of project documentation in the construction process: concepts of project, design team, construction participants. Current trend in the field of BIM design. Legislative requirements and tools. Technical standards and their binding force.
Structure and content of project documentation in the construction process, supporting documents, text parts, drawings, documentary part.
Module coordination in construction. Concept of module, concept of dimensions in construction, manufacturing tolerances, modulation of piece building, modulation of openings, modulation of building spaces and their interrelation.
3.Lecture

Basic principles of structural design of reinforced concrete floor structures in relation to the economics of their design - contemporary approach to the design and organisation of reinforced concrete floor structures with regard to the purpose of the building or its part and the links of the floor structure to the adjacent building structures - e.g. building envelope, floor and ceiling construction and the organisation of horizontal lines of special professions. An example of a real-life application of reinforced concrete floor structure design with regard to protection against the propagation of vibration and structural noise between the unprotected and protected parts of a building.
Reinforced concrete ceilings, glass-reinforced concrete ceilings and other composite ceiling structures.
Prefabrication of ceiling structures.
