2024 unit information
This unit of study exposes students to fundamentals of building technologies with emphasis on performance evaluation and understanding of structural systems. A strong focus will be given to documenting a building’s structural system, and construction methods. This unit will also encourage students to develop an integrated understanding of technical design solutions have on the technological aspects of architecture. This unit of study will help students to understand and apply principles of building physics, structural solutions, performance indicators, and effective communication of the project, building systems and technological detailing of building components. This unit will focus on teaching students how to design, specify and evaluate different building solutions, develop ideas and work constructively.
