Course Objectives: | The course includes the study of structure in man-made and natural objects, its methodology and implementation on design projects. This will include definitions of structural elements, materials, forces applied and consideration of design methods. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. To classify the important criteria that are applicable in the design phase. 2. To predict applied forces on the structure and possible deformations. 3. To apply the knowledge of building structures in objects. 4. To develop structural designs according to regulations and defined specifications. 5. To analyze objects by structure, material and manufacturing techniques. 6. Explore the use of materials and structure in specific art and design contexts |
This course offers a survey of the role of structure as a foundation of successful design. As a practical concept, structure embraces many design parameters: form, function, cost, durability, and manufacturability are among those that come to mind. From a theoretical standpoint, however, understanding and predicting how these parameters interact requires knowledge of details from the disparate fields of physics, engineering, materials science, and history, among others. This course will explore these complex relationships by introducing definitions, methods, and analytical techniques complimented by a more historical perspective on the function of structure. Case studies in the lessons of structural failure will illustrate how cutting-edge design must, at times, balance on a knife’s edge, and how such daring might be safely and dependably accomplished in the future. |
