Learning outcomes
The subject of the design project is a closed, medium-sized building with a controlled internal environment (not a shelter or bridge, for example) designed by the student as an architectural project during this semester. The nature and size of this building must allow for the design of load-bearing structures and civil engineering solutions, as well as thermal-technical considerations, fire safety, and building services systems. The initial project is further developed in the scope of the building permit documentation and the part of the project for the execution of the construction in accordance with applicable legislation.
Teaching takes the form of studio work, the aim of which is the systematic and coordinated development of the student's architectural design to the level of documentation for a building permit, or part of a project for the execution of construction, in accordance with applicable legislation. The key principle of teaching is close cooperation between the student, the supervisor, and expert consultants from individual technical departments of the Faculty of Arts and Architecture - in particular from the Department of Building Construction, the Department of Load-bearing Structures, and other specialists (e.g., HVAC, fire safety, acoustics). Teaching is based on individual guidance provided by the studio supervisor - a certified architect with practical experience. This supervisor guarantees the architectural aspect of the design and also coordinates the student's cooperation with technical experts. Teaching thus combines creative design thinking with the requirements of construction and technical implementation. Students work on their own architectural projects, which were created in previous studios (AA2, A3, A4, and A5), and gradually develop them into a higher level of project documentation. During the semester, they consult with experts on individual parts of the buildingthe structural system, material solutions, thermal-technical properties, fire safety, building services systems, acoustics, connections to utility networks, etc. Emphasis is placed on coordinating individual professions and integrating them into a comprehensive design. In addition to regular individual consultations, there are review presentations, ongoing peer reviews, and a final collective defense of the project. Students are encouraged to independently formulate solutions, communicate with professors, and take into account all technical requirements within the architectural concept. Skills Students: 1. Design architectural solutions for medium-sized buildings, taking into account material, structural, and operational relationships. 2. Prepare drawings and technical documentation to the extent required for building permits and construction. 3. Design general technical distribution systems for buildings, including their routing and the placement of technical equipment. 4. Coordinates technical solutions with fire safety requirements, operational logic, and building functions. 5. Can identify and solve problems in the routing of technical building systems. General competencies Students: 1. Independently analyze a given problem and develop a proposal with regard to architectural, technical, and legislative contexts. 2. Collaborates within a multidisciplinary team in the design of a building (architecture, construction, building services, fire safety, technology). 3. Present and defend their own design in the form of drawings and an oral presentation. 4. Apply a comprehensive approach to the design of a building as an integrated whole. 5. Be aware of the impact of architectural decisions on the operation, energy efficiency, and sustainability of a building.
Prerequisites
Students: 1. Know the structure of documentation for building permits and construction in accordance with applicable legislation. 2. Understand the basic principles of architectural design in relation to location, purpose, and technical requirements. 3. Has an overview of building technical systems (heating, ventilation, cooling, lighting, hot water, acoustics). 4. Understands the issues of connecting a building to utility networks and fire safety requirements. 5. Knows the basics of coordinating professions within the design of a building.

Assessment methods and criteria
Practical demonstration of acquired skills, Presentation of artistic and creative activities

The subject of the design project is a closed, medium-sized building with a controlled internal environment (not a shelter or bridge, for example) designed by the student as an architectural project during this semester. The nature and size of this building must allow for the design of load-bearing structures and civil engineering solutions as well as thermal-technical connections, fire safety, and building services systems. The initial project is further developed in the scope of the building permit documentation and the part of the project for the execution of the construction in accordance with the applicable legislation. Building services part: The aim of the building services part of the KP is to develop building services distribution systems_General distribution systems The concept includes: - the possibility of connecting the building to external utility networks - a proposal for the location of energy sources (heating, ventilation, cooling, hot water heating, lighting), technical wiring routes within the building with an emphasis on problem areas in the distribution routes - selection of the type of terminal element - coordination with the fire safety requirements of the building - requirements for technological units - elevators - lighting, acoustics
