Learning Goals

The objectives of this course are:
1. Interaction with practice and the Project CUs, with special emphasis on the implementation of specialty projects in the detailing phase (structures, air conditioning, electrical installations, water supply network, sewage network, rainwater network);
2. The theoretical component of the will focus on the analysis and interpretation of the construction system and the detailing of remarkable buildings;
3. The visit of works in progress accompanied by the technicians in charge (coordinator of the architectural project, construction manager, supervisor of the work).
