Architecture (Business- and prefabrication) (EN)
2021/2022- Purpose and learning objectives
In the 3rd Semester, you will learn to construct a prefabricated project, so that components can be made off-site in a controlled factory environment. You will discover the benefits of such practices in terms of quality, reduction of waste and better production methods.
By meeting the objectives of this topic, you will have gained knowledge and understanding of:
• Appling systematic building processes
• Logistically streamlined methodologies.
• Just-in-time (JIT) procedures
• Muda (waste management)
By meeting the objectives of this topic, you will be able to:
• Plan and design the prefabrication construction elements and components
• Authorise system hierarchies and annotations
• Deploy and implement standardisation
• Make modular bathroom pods
• Use grid location and cross referencing
Apply tolerances with relevance to both production and site assembly - Type of instruction
The teaching is based on the understanding that learning is most efficient if students are given the opportunity to work with real-life assignments from, or inspired by, companies in relevant industries.
When choosing a project, the possibility of incorporating the academic and professional challenges throughout the semester into the project must be taken into account.
The students are given the opportunity to be involved in the various project phases, from preliminary analysis to realisation of the project. In connection with the project work, the students are faced with real-life problems to be solved based on the given theory, and are to organise the work in such a way that deadlines can be met. The students are furthermore provided with the necessary qualifications to work independently, thereby preparing them to complete the final project as an individual assignment.
This working method allows the students to gain an understanding of how problems are identified and analysed, how solution models are set up, and how the right solution is adopted. - Exam
