Building Environments and Technics 1 is an introduction to the structural, constructional and physical principles of the built environment.

The course will investigate the significance of building materials and the perception of spaces in relation to their use along with the construction of primary building elements including foundations, floors, walls, openings, roofs and stairs and their application to the built environment.

The interface between architecture and interior will be explored through the principles of structure, substrate and skin with a particular emphasis on the role of materiality in construction and fabrication technologies.

You will learn to read and produce documentation and models of a technical level of execution and accuracy in line with industry standards.
