only summer term

once a year

1 semester

In close coordination with module CAD/BIM (LB)

The module contains two closely related units:

Unit A - Building Materials and Structures

1 Legal foundations, building codes, technical building regulations

2 Building materials

2.1 Natural stones and ashlars
2.2 Artificially produced masonry bricks
2.3 Concrete and mortar

3 Solid constructions

3.1 Retaining Walls
3.2 Detached walls
3.3 Foundations
3.3.1 Base layers
3.3.2 Concrete foundations

4 Special constructions

4.1 Water basins
4.2 Concrete surfaces and roadways

5 Staircases

5.1 Types of stairs
5.2 Construction principles
5.3 Stair design

6 Structural drawing

6.1 Basics of drawing
6.2 The construction process
6.3 The construction drawing

Unit B - Construction task

After completing Unit A, students solve a design task as an individual assignment. This planning task bundles the subject content of Unit A. This planning task takes place in close coordination with the CAD/BIM (LB) module and is accompanied by further CAD exercises.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination and Homework / Assignment

Term paper (50 %) + three-hour exam (50 %)

Written exam: 180 minutes

Homework: Execution drawings are created (overview plan of the house garden 1:50, detail garden area 1:20, sectional drawings through selected components)

Basic knowledge in creating construction drawings with the help of CAD

Students who have successfully studied this module have a basic knowledge of the building materials concrete and mortar as well as natural and man-made stones, their properties and their use in massive constructions of the open space, as well as the applicable regulations.

Students who have successfully studied this module will be able to combine the building materials described. They use them to develop solid constructions in open spaces and can describe the construction principles and assess advantages and disadvantages from a design point of view.

Students who have successfully studied this module will be able to design and construct massive structures in open spaces, create construction drawings using CAD and represent detailed solutions. They can interpret these constructions and check their feasibility.

Students who have successfully completed this module will apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in planning offices, from construction engineering design to implementation planning and object supervision, or in gardening and landscaping companies as part of site management and site supervision.

Students who have successfully studied this module will be able to evaluate technical innovations on the building materials market and massive construction methods from the point of view of sustainability and to generate new planning approaches with this in mind.

Students who have successfully studied this module are able to review their own and external design tasks in a goal-oriented manner, discuss design approaches in an interdisciplinary manner with other parties involved in the planning process (e.g. civil engineering specialists), diagnose design problems and develop solutions. The basics for a factual and professional communication (e.g. with citizens, associations, etc.) within the framework of a planning process are taught.

Students who have successfully studied this module will be able to plan, design and implement sustainable massive constructions in open spaces. They are able to adapt justified building materials and construction methods to the challenges of climate change, to reflect on this and to communicate this in a factual and professional manner.
