The course deals with Technology presented through a performance-based approach, an historical journey on the use of building elements.
Particularly, the attention will focus on materials and building elements such as: structural walls and building enclosure system, engineered and natural wooden products, structural elements in steel, building elements in concrete, grounded structural foundations, roof systems, glass and frame systems.
