Building Technologies
Objectives
At the end of this curricular unit (CU) the students will have acquired knowledge, skills and competencies that allow them to work on building technology, for design and construction of new buildings up to the conclusion of all the supporting elements, and the repair and retrofitting of old buildings, mainly in terms of: - Detailed sectional draws of the constitution of the building elements. - Comparative analysis of different possibilities on building elements design, construction. - Choice of the building materials, function of their specificity. - Different constructive elements and functional requirements. - Design of the most efficient building technologies. - De-construction
