Objectives (Expressed as expected learning outcomes)
The fundamental thing in this subject is to create in the student an open and scientific spirit that enables him to assume the continuous changes that occur both in society and in the office of Architect, to know them, to assimilate them and even to star in them.
In this subject the construction of building structures is addressed, essentially, this implies two fundamental aspects that must be covered by the teaching. The student must know technologies and systems to undertake without reservation the processes of the architectural project and its material execution, (as regards the structure especially), with the implications that this implies; it must therefore be generated:
- Ability to generate building structures as a basic part of the architectural project that meet aesthetic requirements and techniques.
- Knowledge of research methods and preparation of the construction project.
- Knowledge of the problems of structural design, its construction linked to building projects.
- Adequate knowledge of the regulations and procedures for translating building projects.
