Construction III

The aim of this course is addressing the constructions systems for closing the building: non-load bearing facades and roofs. Contemporary techniques and related materials. Facades; conventional, ETICS, claddings, rain screen, panel, curtain wall, openings and their filters. Roofs; flat roofs- watertight membranes, pitched roofs-tiles, low slope roofs- metal sheets. For all of them (facades and roofs) it will be done a system description, and deeply studied its behavior according to the climate conditions, architectonic possibilities and constructive requirements.
This course also covers construction systems for arranging the public space.
The course analyses the following materials: watertight membranes, thermal insulation materials, non-ferrous metals, glass, stones, cladding boards (including their life-cycle assessment).
