Introduction to Building Materials aims to provide students with basic knowledge and foundational theories of architectural drawings, design and construction-related materials and methods encountered in constructing a simple/single-storey building and enable students to carry out descriptive quantification and material analysis tasks. It also provides basic knowledge regarding providing services and controlling the built environment in and around buildings.

#Today I am stady door frame #Studying door frames can provide valuable insights into structural integrity, installation techniques, and architectural design. Are you focusing on a particular aspect of door frames, such as materials, construction methods, or historical evolution. #hard60dayschallenge #Civilguruji #Construction #CivilEngineering

📐 Proud to share my latest perspective drawing of a modern cityscape! 🏙️As a civil engineer, I am passionate about the intricacies of urban design and architecture. This piece captures the geometric patterns and structural elegance that shape our cities.#CivilEngineering #Architecture #UrbanDesign #PerspectiveDrawing #Art

Book our newest RIBA approved CPD today - https://lnkd.in/esu8WvD3 'Specifying Compliant Through Wall Systems Used With External Facades' This CPD aims to delve into the products and systems that lie behind the rainscreen facade of buildings and to identify the elements that need to be considered when creating buildings that are safe, healthy, energy-efficient, and sustainable. We examine common high efficiency rainscreen facade systems with a specific focus on the ‘Through Wall’ that sits behind the external façade. We explore the choices that can influence the system’s design and its thermal, fire safety, and acoustic performance. There are multiple choices when it comes to the selection of products used in external walls. This CPD will guide you through the impacts those choices can have on your project and will assist you in meeting the performance and compliance challenges facing the modern built environment. RIBA Core Curriculum: 04. Legal, regulatory and statutory compliance 10.

Architecture is a fascinating field that encompasses so much more than just the design and construction of buildings. It is a discipline that combines art, science, and engineering to create beautiful and functional structures that shape the world around us.

https://lnkd.in/eBY2CZb5 Absolutely no need to be afraid of architectural drawings. Here is a beautiful video explaining all you need to know.

Dive into specific International Building Code provisions for schools, explore cost-saving opportunities with wood, and examine structural design and framing options alongside examples of wood's application in modern school construction. Take the course! https://hubs.la/Q02pFw310

1. What façade types are shown in this diagram? 2. Which façade type incorporates a drained cavity?  3. Which façades include a ventilated cavity? 4. Which façade type generally requires a firestop between the façade and the slab? 5. Which façade type necessitates a horizontal open-state cavity barrier at the slab zone? 6. Which façades depend on a closed-state cavity barrier for compartmentation between floors? The IAST is a safe place to learn, share your knowledge and experience and exchange professional opinions. Join our community by participating in discussions and taking our courses. This diagram is one of hundreds of visuals used in our comprehensive Applied Façade Engineering course: https://lnkd.in/ePF5Kd_5 Variations of these questions are also likely to be included in the Baseline Competence Test, which the Institute for Architectural Science and Technology (IAST) is developing in collaboration with The Joint Competence Initiative For The Building Envelopes Sector (JCI). At the IAST, we are dedicated to assisting the industry in building and demonstrating competence. We are continuously enhancing our course materials, ensuring they are clear, educational, and effective for testing relevant skills and knowledge. In our courses, we strive to cover all important aspects of façade engineering. Share your knowledge and expertise! Let’s promote the best practices together!   #facadeengineering #facades #competence #buildingsafetyact #architecturaltechnology #architecture #engineering #construction #jci #iast #professionaldevelopment #beselinecompetence
