Course description and aims

This lecture is given by a part-time lecturer. This lecture is intended to help students realise that the act of design, through the design of bridges, is a creative task that seeks to create a structure that is in harmony with the surrounding environment.

Student learning outcomes

1. master the fundamentals of structural design
2. understand the various roles of structural design
3. understand how to develop specific ideas through exercises
4. develop creativity and communication skills through proposals, models and presentations

Course taught by instructors with work experience

Applicable How instructors' work experience benefits the course
Lectures are based on specific design processes, drawing on national and international bridge design experience.

Keywords

Structural design, bridge design, models, proposals, presentations

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

After guidance and lectures by the lecturer, each student practices designing a pedestrian bridge and creates a model and a proposal. In the final lecture, they present their models and proposals, which are then critiqued by the lecturer.
