Learning outcomes:
Integration of theoretical knowledge aquired at various disciplines of technical Sciences Department and using them to design an architectural object, having as guiding discipline Building Physics' (1).
Ability to control the balance between technological and architectural requirements, both as a whole and in detail, and to coordinate a unique coherent act, able to make possible the true building of the construction, with accent on aspects regarding the relationship between building and its environment.
Ability to estimate necessity and realize an efficient solar protection.
Ability to control natural light for a building.
Content:
With respect to a previously studied building at Architecture Studio, architectural technology study analyses issues regarding building relationship with natural and built environment, based on knoledges aquired at Building Physics' (1) course.
In this general thematic context, the architectural technology design requires ellaboration of written and drafted parts able to illustrate architectural means of ambiental control (sunlight, natural light, hygortermic confort, acoustical protection) with rational energy consumption - with accent on SUNLIGHT, SUN PROTECTION and NATURAL LIGHTING
As Architectural Studio has a certain degree of optionality, in the frame of a unique guiding-theme, the content of the design will be specified according to specifi characteristics of each Studio designed buildings.
Teaching Method:
Studio guidance is done by mixt groups of professionals, both professors of the Department and associate professors; the activity includes thematic presentations, individual guidance at the drawing board and collective debates.
Assessment:
First stage of the evaluation is the analysis and comments of designs in the studio. Final evaluation is done by a jury using the following criteria: rightness of addressing several specialty requirements and integration in a quality architectural result; consistency of architectural conception with Architecture Studio work; quality of personal technical documentation; logic and clarity of written parts and drawings.
