Architecture

This course provides an introduction to building elements and building materials, emphasizing their relationship to architectural design. Through lectures and analytical discussions, students will familiarize themselves with building elements, acquire basic knowledge of materials for building elements, and reinforce their knowledge of architectural expression with building elements. The course integrates model-based analysis to develop a deeper understanding of how building elements and primary materials contribute to architectural design.

The aim of this course is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of structural elements and building materials in architectural design.
Through theoretical knowledge and hands-on model making;
- Develop students' ability to analyze and discuss structural elements, material properties and their impact on architectural design
- Develop an understanding of the major materials used in building elements, their properties and applications.
