Introduction to the exploration of the bidirectional relation between design and construction approached as a design synergy of gradual implementations up to the physical scale (1:1).

 

Course subjects are defined by the feasibility of investigating this relationship, in case-studies such as, in the design of objects and spaces, public or private, or in the design of small-scale buildings made of light-weight structures in an urban or natural environment.

 

Course development is focused on the technical aspects of architectural design, with an emphasis in the study of the bioclimatic / ecological properties of the constructions, the structural system, the methodology and standardization of the fabrication process, and in the design and morphology of architectural detailing.
