M1 - Facade Basics
| Lecturer: Prof. Ulrich Knaack Goal of study / competences: Understanding of the complexity of facades with a focus on architectural and design towards its relation to inner and outer space., details, façade systems, facade materials and production as a part of an integral and innovative planning and construction process Overview and consolidation of façade technologies. Understanding of the connectedness of construction techniques. Basic and research studies of production and assembling technologies. Knowledge building of detailing façade systems, practical use and assembling of façade systems The knowledge of handling details and constructional drafts and sections with CAD Tools.
Contents: Development of an understanding of the complexity and demands in integral solutions for facades in relation to architecture, construction, structure, materials, building physics, mechanical services, and site construction. Reflection of decision processes for materials, technical and system solutions, integration of disciplines, production, assembly methods and management. Understanding of the principals of integrated Building design and innovation management. Presentation and discussion of Case Studies. The module gives an overview of the spectrum of tested and approved façade-system technologies. Planning, production an assembly will be studied. The following aspects will be treated in detail: modularity and building shell tolerances; water and wind tightness; window systems and fitting technology; safety systems; joining methods for aluminum and plastics; connection an assembly for panel system facades. Next to this the module provides an overview of current planning software and offers the opportunity for intensive application in the course of special project exercises.
