| Overall Educational Objective | To comprehend building technology’s integration into architectural projects, with a focus on the building envelope | ||||
| Course Description | Architectural Technology 4 is a lecture course that is designed to be conducted in coordination with Architectural Design 5 studio course. It is set to create a platform to assess and develop appropriate technological components for the studio project, with the building envelope in focus. The course is based on lectures, enriched with studio activity, where a system and its components are developed for integration into the design. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) comprehend the conception and design of building envelope systems; 2) devise one’s experience on the design and integration of structural systems; 3) reflect competency on the design and integration environmental control systems in architecture. |
