  • Purpose and learning objectives

    5th semester introduces you to building renovation and transformation.
    Within this topic you will:
    • Make registration of load carrying and stabilizing elements to decide the structural system of the existing building.
    • Scrutinize the existing drawings and compare with the site registration.
    • Make load analysis of the existing building using the existing drawings.
    • Registry the condition of the structural elements and make suggestions for repairing, strengthening or building in new structural elements in a survey report.
    • Argue and assess property analysis for different solutions changes within the new design solutions.
    • Select necessary temporary supports or underpinning for structural changes or demolition.
    Focus on Hands on experience.
    Make collision control of services and structural elements

    A student who has met the objectives of the semester will gain knowledge within:

    • Structural principles in old buildings in Copenhagen
    • Generate necessary Main drawing ( sections and plans) for the existing building, demolition and new drawings (alterations)
    • Generate necessary building part drawings and key junctions for the existing building, demolition and new drawings (alterations)
    • Generate necessary process drawings in order to describe the procedure of the work sequence (order of activity) within the alterations.

  • 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.
