The mandatory Building Technology course assists architecture students in gaining an understanding of the technical elements involved in constructing a building.
The learning targets of the course include understanding the principles of building structures, covering a range from expansive to high-rise designs, gaining knowledge of various construction methods, and exploring the realm of building physics, focusing on the movement of heat, air, and moisture.
Enhancing the understanding of building and utility systems involves exploring multiple aspects such as comfort, transportation, communication, maintenance, and safety. This requires in-depth examination of material dimensions, compositions, and their connections with structural elements and construction approaches. Furthermore, it necessitates the creation of comprehensive technical documentation and an exploration of sustainable principles for conserving building energy, aiming to address ecological sustainability concerns in architectural practices.
