Academic Year 2023/24

NGA008 course is part of 1 study plan

NPC-MI Summer Semester 1st year

Engineering constructions as a part of architectural creativity, typological principles and aesthetic values. Application of theoretical knowledge in notable, carefully selected engineering constructions.
History and development of engineering constructions. Typology and design of engineering constructions – roads, railways, underground tracks, airports, constructions for power engineering, waterways, weirs, dams and reservoirs, bridges, water tanks, gas tanks, towers, open structures, ecological constructions.
