Objectives of the Course The students will get the knowledge about the Building-environment relations, the buildings performances, the decisions of structural system of designed building, doing two and three dimensional models for developing the structural system of their designed buildings.
Contents of the Course It contains different constructional methods for building based to the main structural systems and building materials. In that concept, the elements that formed the interior space such as the structure, wall and floor systems are analyzed and interpreted. The course also emphasizes different structural behaviours of elements, their systems and their technical terminology.
