(1) To learn about building constructions contract, laws, and quality control.
(2) To master the basic knowledge regarding building construction processes such as the current state of Japan's construction industry, building production management techniques and different types of construction techniques.
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 instructor has 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.
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. Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
