Objectives of the Course Dimensioning structural elements made of different materials.
Optimizing the macro level, the longitudinal and cross section of structural elements based on their moment/force diagrams.
Speculating on the different kind of stresses and related relevance to which a structure can be subjected based on its shape and boundary conditions.
Exercising from the first architectural sketches which parts will be structurally more problematic, the problems they will face and possible solutions at the macro level.
Course Content The course introduces the relationship between load, section and material. It presents the structural principles underlying the most common structural elements. It discusses the organization of such elements within the overall structure also emphasizing their architectural relevance. It exemplifies the selection criteria between alternative structural systems and their optimization at the macro level.
