Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exemption from the eligibility requirement:
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.

Aim
The aim of the course is to deepen the skills in the use of advanced modelling tools for the development of an architectural design project. Applications will be buildings for work and activities, such as offices and other places for work, where specific requirements like generality, flexibility, optimization systems for climate and energy can be formulated. The architectural design process is based on, and driven by the possibilities that the simulation tools can give early in the design process.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- structure and document their optimization process of the design solution
- through several design iterations describe and evaluate design choices and their outcomes in terms of their visual and technical qualities, using results from simple architectural visualization and simulation of building physics
- design the climate shell in a section 1:20 (one floor) and detail 1:5
- present the proposal in a digital hand-in
- describe, argue for, evaluate and discuss their own and other's proposals during a final critique together with university faculty and external reviewers
Content
The content of the course is adapted to a current problem concerning building techniques.
The course starts with a joint introduction in energy, climate and daylight modelling and simulation.
Using digital tools for modelling and simulation the project is optimised and elaborated into a final proposal.
Organisation
The project is team based.
Lectures, study visits and tutoring is adapted to the current problem/project.
