DA 2051 Advanced Building Systems

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply the fundamental principles and regulations to be used for the installations, lighting systems, hydraulic, sanitary, and electricity equipment of commercial and institutional constructions, meeting the technical criteria for systems, installations, and equipment for environmental control in buildings: cooling, heating, plumbing, lifts, and sewage systems, and a diversity of renewable energy sources, in order to identify and select the best possible installations for the architectural design and construction project.

DA 2046 Introduction to Building Systems

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply the fundamental principles and regulations to be used for the installations, lighting systems, hydraulic, sanitary, and electricity equipment of residential constructions, being able to describe their characteristics, construction processes and the range of possibilities to apply them to an architectural design.

DA 2040 Concrete and Steel Structures

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to explain the behavior of the different steel and concrete structures, as well as their advantages and disadvantages in terms of architectural design, based on the theory of basic structural properties of materials, in order to achieve the correct use of structural elements.

DA 2036 Structural Concepts

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply structural behavior concepts to determine the dimensions and geometric properties of the different elements that make up a structure, in order to establish the most suitable materials to build it in accordance with construction needs.

DA 2026 Project Presentation

Submitted by ocarrizales on

This course aims to: (1) introduce students to the use of architectural representation applied to the design process, from site registration and the preliminary concept sketches to the presentation of the idea. (2) Have students practice quick drawing and architectural perspective techniques, exploring and using representation techniques with different media for expression and visualization. (3) Have students apply knowledge to generate all the graphic documentation of an architect's design process.

DA 2015 Architectural Design IV

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge and design abilities to the development of an architectural project of high programmatic complexity, with a strong influence of the urban context, in order to develop critical judgment and the capacity to explore and innovate through the architectural proposal, without overlooking the research, application, and implications of aspects such as the structural criteria, materials technology, and energy efficiency.

DA 2011 Architectural Design III

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge and design abilities to the development of architectural projects of medium programmatic complexity, in order to comprehend the interrelationship between building and site, developing the exploration and innovation capacities in terms of an architectural proposal, recognizing the physical, environmental, social, urban, and constructive implications.

DA 2005 Architectural Design II

Submitted by ocarrizales on

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge and design abilities to the development of architecural projects of low and medium programmatic complexity, in order to perceive the architectural object as a sustainable response to the conditions of the surrounding environment, thus developing critical judgement and the capacity to explore and innovate in terms of the the architectural proposal, without overlooking the research and application of factors such as the climatic, ecological, and energy-saving implications, as well as the structural criteria,
