Construction Technology IV

Catalog description

This course will focus on the performance ofbuildings relative to environmental impact and operational response. Starting with thebuilding’s skin, systems will be understood asbeing in contact and in manipulated exchangewith the thermal, luminous and acousticenvironment surrounding them, to serve theambience and comfort of the interior.Basic knowledge of exchange, distribution andregulation will be related to constructionsystems. The goal is to integrate structural,mechanical and spatial requirements to makeappropriate choices during the design phase.
