Basics of Archtectural Constructions 2 (4 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

Students know conventional block, masonry or concrete frames of small houses: structures used in external walls and upper floors. Students also acquaint themselves with energy efficient building design. Structures are both in situ built and prefabricated constructions.

Students know conventional loadbearing wall constructions, structures and building materials used in block structured small houses. Students recognize basic foundation techniques and joints between building envelope and foundation structures. Students adopt skills to apply learned things to design work.

Students know basics of principles of energy efficient building.

Students can compose production drawings to one family house.

Content (course unit)

Block and concrete structures, external walls, roofs, upper floors and floors. Used dimensioning systems. Conventional in-situ cast constructions in small houses. Joints of structures.
