Content

Constructions systems and details will be discussed making reference to real life examples. Particular emphasis is given to the construction materials employed. Construction components must be in accordance with the state of the art and have to be planned economical. Main focus is set on practical utilization of natural building materials for achieving a sustainable circular economy.. Components must be planned user comfortably with design competence, since they also have among others, architectural meaningfulness.
