Course DescriptionThe course examines the finishes employed in a large-scale development project south of Copenhagen in a rapidly growing area. A complete overview of the project is provided and the technologies and materials discussed. Course material includes an explanatory text, many pictures and a series of technical and construction-detail drawings of the envelope and construction system accompanied by legends. On completing the course, you will have exhaustive information regarding the project, the high-performance systems and materials adopted and the way innovative architectural forms have created new residential and communal spaces.
Learning Objectives – after reading the article and studying the drawings, you will be able to:
