Building design (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Purpose of the course:
This course provides the knowledge and skills you need to produce computer-aided construction plans in accordance with the building regulations and to cooperate with the various bodies and authorities in the construction sector.

Course competences:
Communication and teamwork: the ability to work effectively with engineers and other professional groups.
Interdisciplinary skills: Ability to interpret relevant information and manage issues in support of decisions involving consideration of relevant social and ethical issues.
Application of technology to practice: The ability to apply technical standards and established guidelines for professional practice in one's field.

Course objective:
To be able to explain the key principles of planning and building permit procedures in building legislation. You will be able to produce, with computer assistance, the main drawings and permit documents for a standard building project. You will be able to design a dwelling as a functional unit within a planned environment. In addition to the basic coursework outlined above, you will understand construction in a historical perspective and as part of the wider built environment.

Content

Maps and plan markings, building design and design process, drawing markings, building permit documents and permit process, information model.

Location and time

- lecture materials
- notes
- material published or linked on the online platform of the course

Teaching methods

The course is divided into two parts: building design 3 credits and computer-aided documentation of building permit drawings 2 credits.

Building design
The course is implemented both as face-to-face teaching and partly as an online implementation. In face-to-face teaching of building design, the focus is primarily on guiding and going through practice tasks. The online lectures on the moodle platform are accessed independently according to the progress of the course. The course also requires self-directed work in addition to the weekly contact teaching hours.

A Moodle test for the theory part of building design.

Building block documentation

Own building design plans are documented with computer assistance. Implementation in guidance classes, where everyone works on their own plan.

Student workload

- face-to-face teaching 28 h
- independent work 107 h (includes working on own plan in the next few days, working on computer-assisted documentation)
- a total of 135 h

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Intermediate (1): the student knows and recognises the issues described in the course objectives and is able to perform the tasks described in the course objectives.

Satisfactory (2): The student knows, identifies and understands the issues described in the learning outcomes of the course. The student will demonstrate competence by applying the topics covered in the course.

Assessment criteria, good (3)
