Description
Introduces building materials and assesses their applications with parametric tools. Addresses topics related to the strength of materials and design of structural components and systems. Course Goals and Objectives 1) Understand the role that materials play in design decisions developed through a series of case studies of historic and contemporary buildings. 2) Communicate understanding of material performance in technical drawings, through plans, sections, wall sections and details. 3) Make parametric software tools that analyze technical performance, embodied energy and life-cycle performance. 4) Understand and use structural concepts such as the distribution of concentrated and uniform loads, vertical loads, lateral loads, and the design of members in wood, concrete and steel.
