| Description |
An introduction to building systems and the methods of construction used to realize design in built form. First half of the course exposes students to the primary systems, materials and principals used in construction of buildings and the fabrication of elements, through lectures and accompanying lab sessions. Focus shifts in second half to explaining the means by which information is communicated from designers to fabricators, current standards in the practice of architecture, and practice's relation to changes in methods of fabrication and project delivery. |
