Course Leader:

prof.dr.arh. Rodica Crișan

Learning outcomes:

- Knowledge of the cultural and operative scenarios in which the chosen research topic is located. Completing and deepening the knowledge necessary for the development of one's own research.
- Understanding the materiality of architecture and the paradigm shifts determined by technological progress in the evolution of architecture.
- Awareness and assumption of the environmental impact of construction processes, from a historical and contemporary perspective.
- Developing the ability to identify and select relevant information for a specific research purpose, and to build hypotheses and original points of view based on the information gathered.
- The ability to interpret, explain and argue the results of own research.
- The ability to publicly communicate the results of personal research and to have a constructive dialogue in a specialized group of researchers.

Content:

Within a flexible didactic parcourse adapted to the research interests of the students, the following indicative topics are proposed:
– Climatic adaptation: the lesson of traditional architecture and the lesson of nature; architecture and vegetation
– Aesthetic valences of materials and their valorisation in architecture.
– Wood, the material of the 21st century.
– Reinforced concrete, the material of modernity in architecture.
– Contemporary innovative concretes, with special architectural values.
– Precast concrete: past, present and future.
– The load-bearing frame and the paradigm shift in architecture.
– Transparency, a paradigm shift in architecture.
– Another kind of glass: the transparent thermal insulation.
– Digital design and robotic fabrication.

Teaching Method:

– Thematic lectures with digital images support, given by the tutor. The topics of the lectures will be established based on the proposals of the tutor and the options of the students expressed in a questionnaire. The lectures will be followed by discussions between the participants.
– Presentations given by doctoral students, as a communication exercise in front of and within the group.

Assessment:

Doctoral students will receive "admitted/rejected" qualificatives and the corresponding credits, depending on their participation in the activities organized during the semester.
