| Course description |
Technology & Environment 2 builds on the first year courses Technology & Environment 1A & 1B. The course develops an ability to assess and analyse buildings in terms of their construction and performance and by doing so obtain an understanding of the integration of the various social, technical and environmental requirements. Students will study the relationships between structure, construction and materials in the context of building design; will pursue the application of sustainable building practices and will learn methods of qualitative and quantitative assessment of environmental performance, including daylighting and acoustics. The interdependence of these components is set within the broader context of a comprehensive and coherent discussion of architectural design theory |
