The aim of the course is to provide in depth knowledge about architecture as a dialogue between building design, materials and construction. The students will study tectonic meanings in architecture through looking at a construction as a whole including symbolic, representative and other values. They will train the process of shaping architecture through aesthetic processing of material and construction. The aim is also to provide deep knowledge and understanding about materials and technologies from different periods of architecture to be able to interpret and apply in modern work.
