11233 Advanced Architectural Construction

6cp
Requisite(s): 11226 Architectural Structure and Construction
Undergraduate

This subject takes the form of a series of case studies demonstrating how the integration of construction systems as part of the design development has been achieved in a series of outstanding buildings of various scales. Methodologies and analytical tools to enable the performance criteria of the various elements and components making up the buildings' fabric are developed and assessed. Central issues involved in this assessment of fabric and environmental performance are life cycle and cost–benefit analysis, which include issues of embedded energy, the fabric's overall impact on the building's operating energy budget and any marginal costs that may be associated with achieving an energy efficient built environment.
