Course Description
Since the Architectural building is the shell that contains the interior space, it is important for interior design students to develop an awareness of formal, current and novel building construction types. And its development over time starting with Bearing walls structural systems, Skeleton system, Truss and Frame Space structure, Tensile, Cable, membrane and Pneumatic structures. As well as acquire an understanding of the materials used in the application of each building construction system, such as bricks stone, concrete, R.C, steel…etc. to enable students provide competent interior intervention in accordance to the occurring problems within the design context. The course will develop an awareness of different special construction types including Stairs, Kitchen, and Bathroom systems, their application and different ways of drawings in different construction. The course will also focus on presenting ideas through formal presentations and hands-on exercises designed to uncover and expand on student’s visual and intuitive understanding of building construction types. Also, to enable them to competently resolve interior problems and obstacles facing them in their undergraduate courses, as well as post graduate application.
