Instructor : Herwig Baugmertner, Scott Uriu

The course focussed on construction systems, building technology, the use of materials and system integration. The course includes a review of basic construction methods, analysis of building codes including occupancy and life-safety issues, the design of structural and mechanical systems and familiarizes students with basic principles of sustainable design. It focussed on the detailed design of a zone of the building in terms of the resolution of its structural system and building envelope using three dimensional modeling as well as drafting.
