SUBJECT

The course  follows four basic axes:

-Theoretic approach in the form of lectures :

     *Load-bearing structures

     *Foundations

       and door frames)

     *Inner shell ( interior walls, interior window and door frames, floors)

     *Stairwells

 

-Visits to construction sites:

An effort is made for the visits to coincide with the theme of the lectures, so that the students' queries can be answered.

 

-Mapping exercises:

e.g. mapping a stairwell or a small traditional house

 

-Design exercise for the semester:

It is usually about a small ground floor house, which is given in sketches on a scale of 1:100  (floor plan - section) and its full representation on a scale of 1:50 is demanded (floor plans – sections - elevations)
