The aim of the course is to establish a common frame of concepts relating to structures, optimisation and architectural expressions, in the interaction between engineers and architects in the final part of their studies.
Further, the aim of the course is to show that structural mechanics concepts and architectural expressions are related by our way of understanding, one by a natural science organization, the other by intuitive understanding.

The course is organized as a project course where both architectural students and engineering students contribute with their own future field of expertise. The projects are defined so that spatial qualities meet structural challenges. The literature constitutes a foundation for discussion in seminars concerning the interfacing and negotiation of spatial expression and structural design.
Grading scale: UG - (U, G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: Assessment of project work. In the final project, engineering and architectural students work together in close cooperation. The project is presented at a seminar. To pass, the student must have participated in 75% of the teaching activities and the presentation must consist of a qualitative discussion that leads to a project proposal.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.

The course is linked to the designing course AAHN06 Advanced Architectural Design II. The course is given by the Divisions of Architecture and Structural Mechanics. The course is arranged together with the course “Integrated Design: Structural Design – Architectural Design” (VSMN15) and assumes balance between the number of architect and engineering students.
