Learning outcomes

If the course of Elements of Architectural Engineering provides the general knowledge for the comprehension of the building organism, the course in building design offers the operative tools to face the design process in its complexity, either for new construction or existing buildings.

At the end of the course the students will be able to understand the users needs, translating them into requirements and performances of technical elements, with particular respect to safety, environmental comfort, resources saving and durability.

Course contents

The course develops a building project in its technical components and aims at developing some typical aspects of the construction documents. Construction details are investigated as well as the relationship between architecture, structural elements and services.
