Objectives of the Course
|
Transmitting sufficient theoretical background to understand the principles of structural design.
Speculating on the configuration of form and structural elements and systems
Gaining an understanding of how structures resist loads through form.
Exploring the creative potential of structural solutions and the influence on the organizational and symbolic architectural results.
Encouraging students to naturally consider structural design within the design development.

Course Content
|
The course discusses the physical laws underlying structural principles. It highlights the relationship between the shape of interconnected structural elements and their role within the overall structure. The opportunities offered by structural forms to the definition of the architectural spaces are emphasized. It introduces the relationships between material and geometrical proprieties of elements and structural behavior.
