| Course Objectives: | This course on design, architecture, and the built environment aims to develop a deep understanding of architectural design, with a focus on indoor systems and the technical details of construction materials. The objectives include fostering awareness of how walls, flooring, ceilings, and vertical circulation systems integrate with structural systems, subsystems, and construction elements. Additionally, students will be tasked with producing detailed application projects that consider both material usage and technical drawing principles. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; • Gain knowledge of design principles for indoor systems. • Evaluate architectural products and systems, materials, and technologies. • Understand and discuss architectural forms and their related design elements and systems. • Enhance skills to create detailed construction methodologies for interior elements such as walls, ceilings, floors, and staircases using proper materials and technologies. • Develop the ability to prepare application drawings and construction details effectively. These outcomes ensure students are well-equipped to design, evaluate, and execute architectural elements, with attention to detail and recent construction techniques. |
Course Content
| This course covers key topics in architectural design and indoor systems, focusing on the integration of structural systems with construction elements in interior environments. The course delves into construction materials and surface finishes, including wall treatments, flooring systems, and coverings, while also addressing detailed design considerations for interior walls, flooring, and ceilings, particularly suspended ceiling systems. Vertical circulation systems, such as staircases, will be examined for both design and construction, with attention to their relationship to structural elements. A major emphasis is placed on architectural detailing, teaching methods for creating precise construction details for interior elements. The course also includes instruction on technical drawing and project development, helping students translate theoretical knowledge into detailed application drawings for construction by applying concepts through project-based work. The teaching methods and techniques used in the course are lecture, implementation, problem solving, individual study and critiques. |
