ARQ1331 _ SPECIAL TOPICS IN ARCHITECTURE XVI Experimental Construction Site
Study of structural models, using historical references, as design foundations. Experimentations starting from a base material proposed to be studied throughout the semester. Understanding the behavior of the material, through experimentation, and technical possibilities offered to the construction, by the experience of the construction site. Generating constructive models. The dialectic between design and construction. Employment of designs as tools approximation of the finished structure. Notions of security and organization of work on the construction site. Introduction to concepts of planning, phasing and control works through practical experience. Construction of a work designed and developed collectively from the experiments conducted. Use of electronic tools for structural design and analysis as an aid to technical development process. Exercise activities building practices that promote the recovery of critical knowledge and talents forgotten and popular techniques. Trials that demonstrate using empirical comparison (more popular) and scientific (technical knowledge) of appropriate design traditions.
