General description and relevant information

Construction II is focused on: - The introduction of conventional and industrialized elements and systems of construction, finishes, dimensional organization, assembly methods, modular coordination and the analysis of the constructive components in different works, in construction and finished. Focusing on the elements and constructive systems with their environment (external and internal), related to the properties of the materials used in the different systems. - The first contact with the constructive detail, trying to draw by hand all the constructive solutions. - The understanding that elements and systems evolve from a logical construction based on the best use (efficiency) of the environment. Relating it to the concept of sustainability and maintenance. - The knowledge of vocabulary related to construction, in order to use a precise technical language related to the one used by the different regulations. - Schedule the connection with the students designs, commenting on constructive details on the issues raised, relating the interest in the investigation with the rationality and the real possibility of the proposals.
