ARCH411 Structural Design

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course explores synergies of structure, form, and material, and considers structure as integral to the creative design process. Main systems and components are studied and estimated, evaluating the selection of an appropriate structural system, taking in account environmental factors and aspects of building construction. Material efficiency, life cycle, cost and code requirements are also reviewed.
