11217 Introduction to Construction and Structural Synthesis

6cp
Undergraduate

This subject consists of an introduction to the principles involved in the integration of structure, construction, and materials in architecture. This will be undertaken by studying and analysing historical and contemporary precedents, where the performance of materials and their contribution to the stability and structural integrity of the built object are clearly demonstrated. Students are then expected to demonstrate these principles by integrating the knowledge gained of materials, structure and building fabric in project-based design exercises, primarily involving single cell buildings.
