Syllabus

1st–12th week: Task 1: Work out an assessment of present family house min. 4 + 1 – min. from 5 aspects e.g.: http: http://www.eurolineslovakia.sk/en/designs/single-family-houses/complete-offer.html Criterions (min 5): orientation to point of the compass (situation of a building in terrain), architectural integration to surrounding built-up area. Analyse design layout, review area of single rooms (cubic capacity in attics), calculate daylighting, evaluate ergonomics (kitchen, bathroom, area of communication, cabinet..) and appraise amount of storage space in single rooms. Compare with rules (recommended literature, lectures…) Complete with pictures, alternatively sketches, calculations. Task 2: Work out an assessment of assigned public building and evaluate from point of view of layout, cardinal point orientation, placement on construction site, barrier-free design interior and exterior… Compare with rules (recommended literature, lectures…) Complete with pictures, alternatively sketches, calculations. Output: Every assignment will hand in as separate writing work completed with layouts, pictures, alternatively by own designs, sketches. Work out in size A4 – ribbon bookbinding. 13th week - Credit
