Course Objectives
The building course aims to train designers who are original, innovative, different thinkers, who can criticise and produce what they think with different construction techniques beyond all kinds of memorised knowledge of architecture, which is repeated and passed on to others as if it were a genetic heritage.
Course Outcomes
1. Designers comprehend the basics of how original architectural thought can be created and the design infrastructure for it.
2. Designers learn what it is to think abstractly and how they can put forward the structural tools of this.
3. Designers learn to recognise the qualities and quantities that make up a building and to reproduce them.
4. They comprehend the correspondence of the act of ‘making’ between mental production and its realisation in the context of architectural practices.
5. They learn to define and construct a building with concepts.
6. Comprehend the general qualities and principles of the act of ‘making’ in architecture.
7. Acquire the conceptual and intellectual tools of being innovative.
