A11TEB Architectural Technology 1 7.5 credits

The course introduces key concepts and subject areas that form the basis of the syllabus in architectural technology. It investigates the structural and environmental potential manifest in architecture. The course focuses on analogous analytic methods in order to study structural typologies. The course is divided into part 1, part 2, part 3. Course type: workshops + lecture course.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• describe the motion, behaviour and nature of forces in various structural systems
• use models to analyse, predict and explain the fundamental principles of structural mechanics in various structural systems
• be familiar with the basic rules of thumb and principles of structural engineering and structural mechanics
• describe the main building materials and components, their basic structure and structural engineering applications, as well as their fundamental building physics behaviour
• be familiar with the basic composition and systems of buildings and their fundamental building physics behaviour
• be familiar with the fundamental principles of sustainable construction be able to interpret basic structural drawings
• reflect on their learning and work process during the course in written or oral form.

• MOM1 - Moment 1, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• MOM2 - Moment 2, 4.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Learning outcomes are assessed through presentations of the process and results in assignments specified at the start of the course. To receive a grade, students must submit all required assignments and maintain 80% attendance at lectures, seminars, tutorials, and review sessions. Students must also submit a reflection on their own learning.

Course module supplementation means that a student who has received a grade of F and is deemed to be close to meeting the requirements for a passing grade of P may be given the opportunity to complete supplementary work to achieve a passing grade. The course examiner decides whether supplementation is possible. The supplementary assignment is designed based on the learning objectives the student has not achieved. The student shall be given 15 working days to complete the supplementary work. After that, supplementary work may not be done, in accordance with KTH’s guidelines on course syllabi, grading systems, and examination.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
