Course Description:	"The Advanced detailing in Architecture course is dealing with the complexity of integrating the building systems with architectural decisions in order to control the end product in terms of building functionality and aesthetics. The students will develop architectural construction details of scales 1 to 20, 1 to 10 and 1 to 5 for the crucial building components such as the detailing of building envelope systems, wet spaces, circulation spaces and so on and integration of various structural systems with other associative layers. The course is oriented upon the demands of the construction market from the new professionals and vice-versa."
Course Objectives:	This is an in-depth study and survey of some the various construction assemblies employed in the construction industry. The course focuses on architectural detailing as it applies to the use of materials, material assemblies and their components in the construction of buildings. Details of floor, interior and exterior walls, roof and foundation assemblies including materials and their responses to the elements and building loads are explored.
