Department:

Technical Sciences

Course Leader:

lect.dr.arh. Laura Dobrescu

Teaching language:

Romanian

Learning outcomes:

The ability to correctly use building materials with certain properties in order to create architecture projects or systems, which correspond with the aesthetic requirements as well as the technical ones, correlated with an aesthetic and correct designing and with the right functional use of space;
The ability to understand, apply and solve certain architecture details; general solving principles by using traditional and modern building materials, finish materials and insulation materials;
Knowing the main physical and mechanical properties and the behaviour of certain base materials, indispensable properties for understanding set complex phenomena;
Knowing the way materials and products behave during exploitation and how they can be maintained.
Knowing and adapting to the supply and demand graph market and to the dynamic of the technological evolution.
To adhere to the currently used criteria, regarding the quality assurance of the products and of the services.

Content:

1.Thematic seminar – The thematic seminar aims to develop students' ability to choose materials based on their aesthetic and technical valences, thus correlating the main categories of materials (wood, stone, etc.) with the field of use presented in the course (wall/floor finishes, etc.). Presentation of the seminar and the evaluation method.

2.Wood. Presentation of samples. Detailed analysis of some materials by observing them by the student and free discussions, examples, uses. Completion of the thematic seminar.

3.Natural and artificial stone. Presentation of samples. Detailed analysis of some materials by observing them by the student and free discussions, examples, uses. Completion of the thematic seminar.

4.Ceramics. Presentation of samples. Detailed analysis of some materials by observing them by the student and discussing on examples. Completion of the thematic seminar.

5.Glass. Presentation of samples. Detailed analysis of some materials by observing them by the student and free discussions, examples, uses. Completion of the thematic seminar.

6.Metal and plastics. Presentation of samples. Detailed analysis of some materials by observing them by the student and free discussions, examples, uses. Completion of the thematic seminar.

7.Mineral binders, plasters, concretes - Presentation of samples. Detailed analysis of some materials by observing them by the student and free discussions, examples, uses. Completion of the thematic seminar.

Teaching Method:

Teaching method at the seminar:
-The educational demonstration and visual observation;
-The display of material and product samples and their visual observation;
-The use of documentation notes and work notes;
-Teamwork (a group with a precise assignment, a small group, brainstorming, a creative group for making a project/ product);
- Problematize;
-Practice;
- Case study;
-Obtaining information from different resources (standard, normative, catalogues, presentation brochures, etc.);
-Oral and written exams, through which students demonstrate – as specified in the performance criteria required at the seminar/course – that they are able to: enumerate materials specific to their work categories, containing all the materials from the discussed chapter, to identify the material, to correlate the materials with the domain they are used in, to describe the materials; this will be demonstrated with the material cards, containing all the elements from the field of application, to verify the measurements of the materials, etc.;
Methods of educational representation at classes:
- Theoretical lectures followed by illustrative materials, digital presentations with a digital projector;
-Presentations such as ‘How it`s made’;
-The heuristic discussion;
-Comparative analysis discussions.

Assessment:

1 point ex officio

(10%)
80 %


Summative Assessment (ES) 

Recognition/description of all physical and chemical properties of 4 building materials


The exam will be scored with grades from 0-10. The grade obtained in the exam will represent a percentage of the final grade. The minimum grade for passing the exam is grade 5.

10 % 

Continuous Assessment (EC)

Work during the semester on building materials and products presented at the seminar. During each seminar there will be an ONLINE test - from the material presented at the seminar.
