Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The aim of the project is to enable the students to develop
preliminary building design for energy efficient welfare buildings
with special emphasis on structure, materials and detailing aspects
of architecture and using an advanced integrated design approach.
Technical, structural, spatial, social, health, well-being,
functional, logistical as well as tectonic and aesthetic problems
must be solved in an integrated building design for a specific user
group.
