Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:36:03
Abstract
The elective subject "New focal points of construction" investigates the complexe interaction of construction elements by means of exemplary architectonic tender points such as base, wall, chamber, roof etc.The comparative analysis of built constructions serves as a basis for further development of hypothetical future constructions.
Objective
Target of the course is the understanding of the impacts of material, technology and construction to the architectural education of constructive points. With comparative analysis of built constructions of high architectonic relevance, by means of exemplary building elements such as base, wall, chamber, roof etc., the genesis of constructive building parts, the interaction of the building elements and stand of technique for the most of common constructive tender points is imparted. The conjunction to current constructive methods and basic conditions enables a critical evaluation of the constructive Status Quo within the contemporary producing architecture as well as a perspective to new konstructive education.
Content
Lecture: 1. Comparative analysis for derivation and understanding of the constructive points base, wall, chamber, roof etc. 2. Description of current level of technique, typical methods, and set of problems. 3. Colloquium with guests of producing and processing companies. Excercise: New formulation of a future constructive point as a result of a diagnostic work.
