The objective of the course is to provide the students knowledge about the built up of buildings and the structures being used. During the course the students compile independent homework that is a preparation for the later architectural design in the courses "Design of Constructions"

Aim
Having passed the course the students must know: - structural schemes of different buildings; - structures, used for building different elements of buildings and assemblies of buildings that occur more often; Knowledge about building materials and their fields of application in constructing buildings has to be deepened

Form description
