About this course

Architectural and environmental design of buildings with medium complexity. The course sets a special focus on building with massive wooden elements (CLT).

Based on the courses Architecture and Sustainability I and II the focus shifts to complex projects, for example a multi-family housing project. Central elements of the course will be site analysis, architectural concept, sustainable design and detailing. The course teaches basic knowledge of the Norwegian building code (TEK17) with special focus on universal design. The course is based on practical experience in CAD-programs (f.eks. ArchiCAD) which is subject of earlier courses (ARK110).
