Om emnet
The static structure as primary space-creating system is at the centre of this course.
Structure creates order in a building. Within this order circulation and spatial modules of various sizes are arranged. Through a set of case studies, historic and contemporary, the students will investigate how a considered combination of these elements can result in exciting spatial qualities.

Didactic goal
The overall aim of the course is to appreciate how a building requires a structural order, to comprehend how static and spatial structure, circulation, transitions from inside to outside are all placed in mutual harmony.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
The course will be organized as a combination of weekly seminars and an individual detailed investigation and analysis of a given set of case studies. The weekly seminars will consist of a series of lectures, discussions of readings, and student presentations. The individual studies focuses on investigative drawings through sections and ground plans (classical mode of representation). The objective is to identify and comprehend how the construction contributes to the spatial order. In the last part of the semester the students will construct a large section model, 1:20, of a chosen case. The aim of the model is to illustrate the spatial potential of the construction examined.
