+++Lecture is held in english language+++

This course focuses on formal representations of constitutive elements of building construction. Selected topics of the current practice of building construction planning will be discussed. Thereby the role of contemporary planning tools and knowledge¿based design and construction will be emphasized, such as Building Information modelling and performance¿guided building design. Students are expected to gather experience in the application of building construction principles as required in a wide range of use cases (Building Performance Modeling, Design Decision Support, etc.).

+++lecture is held in english language+++

The course contains a theory component and an exercise part. The lecture part
introduces to the fundamental elements of building construction based on contemporary practice and state¿of¿the¿art tools. Current challenges and trends will be considered in the specific definition of each semester's theoretical foci. In the exercise part, participating students will be asked to specifically approach a specific area of building construction, which is to be subjected to representational inquiries and numeric analyses.
