Course detail

Building Construstions Science

FAST-BH02Acad. year: 2011/2012

The subject is recommended for the bachelor study program to inform students about the basic terminology from architecture and the building construction design. The subject serves as a connection between subjects Theory of Architecture and Building Constructions - Seminar. Students will be informed about the architectural, functional and structural conception of the design of building constructions – the information is important for following study subjects and projects. Students will be also informed about methods in the design process and about individual levels of the design documentation.
