Outline
Module Goal
The goal of this modules is to enable the learner to identify, analyse and design for reuse of existing buildings.
Module Content
- assess the structural feasibility of reusing an existing building
- analyse the existing building or structure, including the information and investigations required
- develop a range of reuse scenarios for the structure considering carbon cost and sustainability goals
- present their preferred design including plans, sketches, costings and carbon calculations
Additional Teaching Mode Information
- 12 x 1hr(s) Lectures
- 12 x hr(s) Workshops
- 2 x 3hr(s) site visits
