ARCH 1008 - Construction Materials & Methods


Credits: 3

This course introduces students to the source, use and limitations of materials used in building construction. While the historical use of materials as function and design expression is a focus, emphasis is placed on contemporary and sustainable building construction, how codes impact design, and the articulation of a systems-approach through the understanding of assembly and attachment. Practical working knowledge is attained through a series of projects requiring students to design and detail mock assemblies.
