Learning outcomes
|
Special constructions - shells, membranes, tensegrid constructions. Principles of designing the shape and arrangement of structures, significantly affected by the requirements and laws of physical, functional and surrounding environment. Model and numerical methods for finding the optimal form and preliminary dimensions. Examples of completed buildings and their critical evaluation. The course will be taught mainly in English. Topics overview: 1. New production strategies and methods of materialization of constructions 2. Constructions in compression only / unreinforced masonry structures 3. Rope nets and suspended structures 4. Flow of forces and graphic statics 5. Biomimetics for structural design 6. Kinetical and self-erecting constructions
Knowledge of principles of creation and preliminary design of structures with prevailing impact of physical constraints (membrane structures, shells, spatial structures, pneumatic structures, tall buildings, timber systems and special structures, e.g. tensegric).
