Detail in Architecture 1
Academic Year 2024/25
BGA035 course is part of 1 study plan
BPC-APS Summer Semester 3rd year
At the factual study of details of particular buildings the students will acquaint themselves with the theoretical thinking of an architect – creator who, trying to find a way into the secrets of a technical detail and examine its alternatives, has to become a design engineer and acquire the knack of a number of crafts.
The aim is to produce a coherent final work - a detail showing both structural logic together with elementary crafts skills and permanent respect for the environment.
