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.

The course Structural Design III complements the courses Structural Design I and II by introducing building materials and construction techniques.

The lecture Structural Design IV applies the knowledge acquired in the lectures Structural Design I-III to existing structures
