ARCH-233 Technics for Non-Architects

3 Credits

Technics for Non-Architects is an introduction to the physical properties and structural behavior intrinsic to all full-scale architectural assemblies. The course will highlight for the student a range of performative,dynamic and emergent principles specific to a series of material constructs derived from one week to the next. Working in real-time, students will be exposed to a broad range of material practices as an opportunity to discover the critical correspondence between any specific itinerary of construction and its underlying in dynamic behavior.
