Course detail
Architecture of Engineering Constructions
FAST-TG51Acad. year: 2018/2019
Engineering constructions as a part of architectural creativity, typological principles and aesthetic values. Application of theoretical knowledge in notable, carefully selected engineering constructions.
History and development of engineering constructions. Typology and design of engineering constructions – roads, railways, underground tracks, airports, constructions for power engineering, waterways, weirs, dams and reservoirs, bridges, water tanks, gas tanks, towers, open structures, ecological constructions.
