Outline:
In this course, the student will acquire knowledge of the present situation of the Japanese construction industry, construction production, the temporary construction methods and construction works related to architectural structures, and the management methods focusing on quality. The instructors (Taniguchi and Nakagawa) have experience in design supervision at construction sites of famous companies, and through the lectures and exercises will transmit to the students their knowledge.
Style:
The lectures and exercises based on textbooks and handouts on architectural production, making use of the students knowledge of architectural design, structures, and materials. Yamaguchi is in charge of 13 weeks and exercises are conducted by Nakagawa.
Notice:
When architecture is actually built that the goal is achieved. Building production is a compilation of the knowledge acquired in the previews academic years: structures, materials, and design. This subject is a required course but, in principle, no supplementary instruction will be provided for absences. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 5 absences is excused.
