Introduction to the basic principles of architectural detailing, the properties of building materials and
construction techniques, the role of construction in architecture and the relationship between building
technology and architectural design. The construction detailing of a conventional building with a RC
load-bearing frame is examined throughout the semester with exercises and a small topic: formation
of RC frames, foundations, masonries, partitions, insulation, stairs, etc. in the course of the architectural
detailing of a simple house designed by an eminent Greek architect.
