Learning Outcome Description |
| LO1 |
Integrate an awareness of current societal concerns and their changing nature into architectural technology and technical design practice. |
| LO2 |
Produce technical drawings and written technical documentation in response to building regulations, in a
technical design challenge for standard detail design construction. |
| LO3 |
Integrate relevant regulations, legislation and design standards into technical design. |
| LO4 |
Understand the implications the structural system of the building has on the selection of the building envelope materials and systems |
| LO5 |

| Indicative Content |
|
Methodology
Investigation, exploration and integration of precedent, the experience of architecture, societal conditions and concerns and technical design challenges.
|
|
Technical Design
Ability to compile technical drawings and documentation to show compliance with building regulations and building control, Fire Cert Application and Disability Access Cert application. Explore material selection, specification and installation appropriate to the building envelope for a commercial buildings. Demonstrate an understanding of the regulations and design parameters involved in the design layout of an underground basement carpark and site plan. Introduction to Passive House standards and principles.
|
|
Principles
Structural Systems. Understand the complexity of mixed structural systems has on the implications of the design of the building.
Explore the parameters of various types of structural systems for basement construction, service shafts, walls, floors and roofs both load bearing and non load bearing from heavyweight to light weight frame systems, solid construction systems, masonry, site cast and pre cast systems through detailing.
