| Course description |
This module examines two broad themes: building fabric and environment. Building on the Stage 1 modules Technology and Environment: Principles, and Architectural Design: Assembly, the module develops skills and abilities to assess and analyse buildings in terms of their construction, structural systems and environmental performance. The module pays particular attention to the relationship between structure, construction and materials in the context of architectural design. The module also
examines the application of sustainable building practices, including qualitative and quantitative
assessments of the environmental performance and structural behaviour of architecture.
