Building Technology IV: Construction Installations

This lecture covers the analysis and design of building structures, focusing on construction exercises related to walls, columns, beams, slabs, and fire safety. Students learn about materials, thermal mass, bracing, and the relationship between structure and spaces. The presentation includes detailed elements, such as steel truss systems, load-bearing walls, and facade materiality. Practical exercises involve the implementation of various building elements, from timber lantage to post-screed coatings. The lecture emphasizes the importance of structural analysis, thermal bridges, and the role of each layer in the building envelope. Students also explore concepts like daylight factors, interior comfort, and sustainable building practices.
