A21TEB Architectural Technology 2 9.0 credits

To understand, apply and synthesize basic knowledge of use of materials, building techniques, construction, building physics and climate by focusing on techtonic design of the fundamental building parts from given conditions and in dialogue with specialists from other disciplines.
The course is divided into part 1, part 2, part 3.

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

• describe the relationship between technology and architecture with regard to overall and detailed solutions, tools, work processes and methods
• account for the fundamental principles and rules of thumb of building technology (use of materials, self-stability, building physics, statics, light and climate) and its potential for sustainable and conscious architectural design
• apply the technical conditions of selected reference projects to deepen their understanding of how technology influences architecture
• explain, communicate and describe the fundamental structural elements of architecture (foundation, wall/opening, staircase/ramp, roof), in both overall and detailed terms, with technical and artistic awareness in structural drawings and models
• reflect on their learning and working process during the course in written or oral form

 You must have passed the course A11TEB Architectural Engineering 1 7.5 credits

• MOM3 - Moment 3, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• 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.
