Building Construction 4th Course

Superior Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (E.T.S.A.M)

Professor: Ramón Araujo Armero

In this architecture and construction course, the concepts of form and technique are treated as a single problem, with special importance, almost dominating significance, to structural design. Moreover, significant importance is given to energy design.

The course is comprised of a theoretical part and a further part in which the student develops a project, normally a significant contemporaneous building, with the technical systems of the student’s choice.
The theoretical course is organised by technologies: wall systems, reinforced and pre-stressed concrete, steel, enclosure sections. The classes include the description of a large amount of significant modern buildings.
