Learning Outcomes
Introduction to the Evolution Principles of Structures in Nature and Biomimetic Design Introduction and Training in Architectural Design of 4 Kinds of Light Structures The aim of the workshop is to design lightweight structures. The main educational objectives are: 1. Familiarity with curves (top view, view, sections) 2. Drawings after the model! 3. Design from the outside to the inside! 4. The 'dynamic' model is more than a three-dimensional object! 5. Membrane folding, deflation, modular-mobile construction 6. Ephemeral Architecture 7. Recyclable light materials 8. Sheath resulting from atmospheric pressure and vacuum 9. Scaffolding - Movable weights / immovable building weights> 1 10. Suspended construction is a space frame or a 'high technology' cable and cable system! Familiarity with Statics. 11. Trees, as forms of construction, refer to nature. Biomorphism.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Design and manage projects
  • Respect natural environment
  • Be critical and self-critical
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
