The aim of the Design of Structures course is to give students insight into the design, functioning and calculation of structures, with a focus on geometry as a mediator between technical and architectural design. Based on the theoretical content of the lecture and its realisation in the form of practical examples, students transfer their technical knowledge they have acquired in the context of architectural design. Within the framework of analysis and/or design tasks adapted to their level of knowledge, students will recognise structures as part of the architectural design, from the structural principle to the choice of materials and the respective detail.
