Resource efficient building for the future 3C
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.
Course specific prerequisites
Bachelor Degree or similar in Architecture, Architecture and Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Interior Architecture
Aim
The aim of this studio is that the students shall be able to carry out design for sustainable building, integrating environmental, functional, technical and aesthetical qualities in a design concept. Furthermore, they shall be able to cooperate over professional boundaries in design processes. They are also expected to be able to formulate and communicate their main ideas and goals in an entry for an architectural competition.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- to design sustainable architecture
- to visualize the performance concerning energy, environment and indoor climate in a building
- to synthesize programme issues into a competition entry
- to describe and analyse the basic features in sustainable building
- to design systems for good indoor climate and energy efficiency
- to cooperate across disciplinary boundaries in design processes.
Content
The studio consists of a competition in which architects and engineers cooperate in groups. The task is defined in a competition programme concerning a project on a specific place for a specific client. The programme contains specified environmental goals, in addition to the basic demands in any architectural project, such as functionality, universal design and high aesthetical qualities.
Organisation
The studio runs half-time and is project and design based. The competition is supported by workshops, seminars and lectures. The jury is external. After the competition the entries will be analysed and assessed by teachers and students in seminars. The final outcome will be presented in a report.
Literature
Literature will be distributed in connection with the exercises.
Examination including compulsory elements
In order to obtain a pass in this studio the following requirements must be fulfilled. Participation in workshops and seminars during the competition. A competition entry of sufficient quality. An external jury of at least three persons appointed by Architecture, Civil Engineering and the Swedish Construction Industry will assess the competition. The jury decides about the awards in the competition. The team of teachers from Architecture and Civil Engineering will cooperate in the assessment of the course as a whole.
