| 052-0601-00L | Building Materials I  | 2 credits | 2V | J. Pauli | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Building Materials - Introduction to the most common building materials Raw materials+ Production Properties + Application Ecological footprint + Recycling | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The lecture develops an understanding of different building materials and its application for construction under the aspects of material properties and ecological aspects. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The lecture introduces the most common building materials concrete, steel, masonery and timber, but also clay, glas and polymers in a historical context. The fabrication processes are described and the most important properties regarding construction explained. A special focus is on the ecological aspects such as availability of raw materials, effort for production, emission of hazardous substances, disposal and recycling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 052-0607-00L | Structural Design III | 2 credits | 3G | J. Pauli | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The course Structural Design III complements the courses Structural Design I and II by introducing building materials and construction techniques. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | After a successful conclusion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the structural behaviour of a building and of its main components 2. Conceive and control design parameters as part of the design process 3. Design structural systems in compliance with diverse performance criteria including architectural, structural, constructive, and environmental aspects altogether. 4. Design structural systems consistent with the material used 5. Dimension structural elements using different building materials 6. Develop construction details in compliance to a specific static scheme | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course presents a holistic approach to the design of structures by integrating static equilibrium, learned in previous semesters, with considerations regarding materials and construction techniques. The course explores the relationship between architecture and structure by introducing and discussing design parameters and their implications with respect to different performance criteria. In addition to those related to statics, performance criteria also include aspects related to use of material and energy resources, which is directly connected to questions of environmental footprint. The objective of the course is to show that structural design tasks must consider a number of aspects belonging to different disciplines simultaneously. This results in a level of complexity that very rarely can be reduced to a univocal “right” answer. Critical thinking and technical knowledge must support each other. The course aims at giving the tools for developing these skills. After a brief review of the key aspects taught in Structural Design I and II, the course Structural Design III will examine different load-bearing elements, how they relate to each other, and their possible relationships with the architectural space. Starting from 2D spanning structures, a series of 5 lectures will illustrate the functioning of the main load-bearing elements of multistory buildings by means of graphic statics as well as analytical methods. Implications at the level of structural performance, spatial performance, material use, and environmental footprint will be thoroughly discussed throughout the entire course by analyzing buildings of exemplary quality. The content of the lectures will be strengthened through 5 exercise sessions during which students will apply the knowledge gained during the lectures and refine their design skills through dedicated design exercises under the supervision of a tutoring team. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 063-0417-24L | Architecture and Structure | 3 credits | 3G | J. Pauli | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The course “Architektur und Tragwerk” represents an opportunity for architecture students to develop a design project in which load-bearing structures and architectural space support and enhance each other as inherent parts of the same design process. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | After a successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Critically evaluate structural design concepts with respect to their ability to support and strengthen architectural concepts 2. Identify the most relevant design parameters and performance criteria for a given design task and select adequate tools to effectively integrate them as part of the design process 3. Conduct design explorations in compliance with structural, spatial, and environmental design aspects simultaneously | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course “Architektur und Tragwerk” represents an opportunity for architecture students to develop a design project in which load-bearing structures and architectural space support and enhance each other as inherent parts of the same design process. The course fosters the development of a design thinking that emerges from the coexistence of a number of design parameters and performance criteria related to force flow, construction technologies, material use, and spatial qualities. Students will learn about diverse operative tools and strategies to control the complexity of such a multidisciplinary design process in which space-making and load-bearing elements are inherently intertwined. The potential of each design option will be evaluated based on various factors; in addition to structural performance and architectural expression, aspects related to material use, construction processes, and environmental footprint will play a crucial role in the whole process. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Abstract | The goal of the course is to introduce students to Structural Design. The course fosters the development of a design thinking that emerges from the coexistence of a number of design parameters and performance criteria related to force flow, construction technologies, material use, and spatial qualities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | After a successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Critically evaluate structural design concepts based on their impact and implications beyond the sole structural performance 2. Identify the most relevant design parameters and performance criteria for a given design task and select adequate tools to effectively integrate them as part of the design process 3. Develop structural systems in compliance with structural, spatial, and environmental design aspects simultaneously | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The goal of the course is to introduce students to Structural Design. The course fosters the development of a design thinking that emerges from the coexistence of a number of design parameters and performance criteria related to force flow, construction technologies, material use, and spatial qualities. Students will learn about diverse tools that allow for controlling such a complex blend of parameters and criteria at the interface between different disciplines such as structural engineering and architecture. These tools will include physical models, graphical methods, and digital tools. After a series of lectures and workshops, students will work on a design exercise that represents the core of the entire course. The design exercise is an opportunity to deal with an open-ended task that does not admit a univocal answer. In fact, besides structural performance, design options will be discussed and evaluated through a set of criteria including spatial qualities, constructability, and environmental footprint. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
