Aims & Learning Objectives:
Development of a holistic approach to structural and environmental design.
Content:
Two alternative paths can be taken for this project, depending on the subject and content of the semester 1 project C3/M3 (carried out as a group project involving architectural students):
1. Individual design development of Project C3/M3, involving consideration of civil, structural and environmental engineering design issues. Normally a real current development project will be used for this brief, and the project will involve the full structural, geotechnical and environmental design for a particular building or small complex of buildings within the development.
Precedent lectures are used to discuss relevant examples, and the work is tutored by visiting architects and engineers.
2: A design project which is specifically related to one of the option courses (in Lightweight Structures, Conservation, Facade Engineering, or Bridge Engineering); it may also be related to Project M3 (but would not be restricted to the development of a particular feature of that project).
