Objectives and competences
- to get acquainted with the basic technical characteristics of individual architectural elements and their integration into building assemblies;
- to understand the functionality, construction and design solutions, and the use of various materials;
- to know the principles of economic and logical use of materials in regard to the implementation of architectural elements as construction components of a building;
- to be able to design an architectural plan for a more complex individual family house with all the drawings and detailing regarding basic architectural sets
Content (Syllabus outline)
- Architectural design in relation to different structural systems and technologies;
- Wood in architecture (characteristics, construction principles, prefabricated houses);
- Thermal insulation of buildings (energy efficiency, passive house);
- Moisture protection (methodological approach, remediation methods);
- Sound protection (acoustics);
- Fire protection (chimneys, vents);
- Roof construction design (construction system definition, drainage, green roofs);
- Building openings (design, types, construction, instalment);
- Interior elements of a building (modularity, construction principles and the instalment of partitions, lowered ceilings);
- Finalization (plaster, hanging facades, horizontal surfaces treatment);
- Vertical communication systems (stairs, ramps, elevators).

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
- use the technical knowledge regarding the implementation of individual building elements and assemblies in architectural design representation;
- summarize the basic regulations on the architectural elements design from a technical and design point of view;
- prepare the architectural design for a more complex individual family house;
- design appropriate project solutions in the architecture plan, including the detailing of the facade section plan.
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
- to identify the simple and more complex design and construction characteristics of architectural elements in their integration into building systems;
- to use the knowledge of architectural drawings in the project design work.
