Course detail

Project – Building Constructions (S)

FAST-BHA010Acad. year: 2023/2024

Throughout the practices of this particular course the students are to work on part of the building design documentation for building permit application of an individually assigned building. The drawings and reports they make should respect the latest amendments of Building code and accompanying decrees as well as the latest standards. The individually assigned building should have the following parameters: detached or semi-detached object, simple layout, partial or full basement, at least 2 above ground storeys. Thus, it can handle about a detached or semi-detached house with or without a premise, a residential building, etc. While the students are working on the building design documentations (drawings, reports) they are to demonstrate their knowledge regarding building construction, structural mechanics, building physics, … - therefore the knowledge they obtained by studying at the university. Albeit that’s not all, with this approach the students will acquire some skills which are going to be helpful to them while working on their final works, i.e. on their bachelor projects, as well as when they are going to be employed. In general, some skill related to individual work or work in groups.

Aims

Application of knowledge from subjects BH02 "Building Constructions – Seminar", BH52, BH03, BH05, e.g. Buildings constructions I., II., III. is purpose this subject. To render ability to design of elementary building project and the correct solution in accord with disposition, construction, architectonic and graphical aspect.
Ability to complete the design of smaller simple buildings - disposition, structural preliminary design, architectural concept and graphical presentation in accordance with valid design standards.
