Office hours
The students mails will be attended or fixing an a video call appointment when required by the student or the professor.
Following on from the knowledge acquired in the subjects of Construction 0 and I in relation to land management, flooring and roofing, the Construction II syllabus will concentrate on the materials that make up the structure of a building, with a particular emphasis on houses and their different structural typologies.
Basic knowledge of physics, mathematics, drawing, graphic representation and the subject matter taught in the previous construction syllabuses.
To provide students with information on the different building materials and typologies used to find a constructive solution to structural elements.
To provide students with the tools for the correct construction planning of a project in terms of the physical characteristics of the place, the project and planning considerations.
The student should be able to determine the most appropriate building material in each case to solve the structure of a building and, at the same time, be able to establish the most suitable type of construction.
