CIV406   Advanced Structural Systems   (10 credits)

Description

This module explores through design work the idea of advanced structural systems - structures that not only carry the loads but also fulfil the intended architectural expression in terms of achieving spatial, aesthetic, social and cultural aspirations. Through guest speakers, tutorials and design work the module aims to investigate the manner in which structural knowledge can be used to achieve design aspirations, and how this influences the design process, the final design outcome, the construction process and the constructed reality.
