bachelor of architectural technology and Construction Management

“A qualified Constructing Architect is able to:1. Plan and manage building and

construction projects.2. Undertake the survey, registration

and technical planning and design of buildings and constructions.

3. Communicate with clients, consultants, planners and designers and contractors in the technical planning and design, tender and implementation of building and construction projects.

4. Take care of the administration and project management in the building and construction sector

5. Enter into management and cooperation with others from different educational, language and cultural backgrounds.”

The Danish Ministry of Education’s directive for the Constructing Architect education

The education may look a little like the architect or the engineer, but the difference can be described as organisational skills. The architect works with aesthetics, the engineer with the physics and the constructing architect with the organisational part, while having an overview and a good understanding

of the others’ work in order to coordinate them.

Bachelors of Architectural technology are key persons on a building site. They coordinate the building process from drawing desk to computer and further to building site – all activities involved. This includes new buildings as well as the renovation of old buildings.

The students are always working on a

defined project, and the course gives grounding in the whole construction process, from the initial outline proposal to the rules for the 5-year follow-up inspection.

In addition to planning and design there are skills taught including surveying and recording, choosing materials and drawing in Revit and AutoCAD. The students also learn to communicate with authorities, developers, clients and contractors.

institution

VIA University College, School of Technology and Business

VIA University College is Denmark’s largest university college and covers all of Central Jutland. It has more than 15 000 students a year, approx. 2 000 employees, 39 addresses in the region, seven campuses, 50 study programmes and a revenue of DKK 1.2 billion (160 million EUR in 2006).

Our course programmes have been accredited by EVA – a Danish Evaluation Institute and a member of ENQA (the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education).

School of Technology and Business offers a wide range of both degree and Bachelor programmes across the areas of engineering, construction and business.

The School of Technology and Business has a very international study environment, which gives you the possibility of acquiring the global skills. Besides getting a high quality education, an international network of friends and contacts will be developed along with a better understanding of culture and language. The Danish students and teachers go abroad to gain experience and we welcome international students and teachers.

VIA offers innovative education and our programmes are developed in close cooperation with employers in both public and private companies and institutions where our graduates are employed. Innovative teaching methods and problem-based learning through interdisciplinary projects are an integrated part of all our programmes. The teaching methods ensure that the graduates develop not only the necessary professional skills, but also the personal skills which are crucial in order to meet the requirements of a still more globalized world.

Most Constructing Architects are employed in architects’ drawing offices, consultant or contracting companies either working with planning and design or with actually implementing building projects. There is an increasing amount of jobs in other related fields for constructing architects, such as with local or government authorities, suppliers of building materials, banks, insurance companies and international organisations.

PoPbl – Problem orientated / Project based learning

The problem based learning is a unique way of encouraging the students to think out of the box, as they are forced to integrate different areas of knowledge and collaborate with other students to solve the problems. As they accumulate more knowledge along

The different nationalities are introducing themselves

14

the semesters, the problems or projects become more complex, preparing them for a career.

The learning is happening through projects that strictly follow real-life examples and methods. This way the students, when they finish their studies, already have 3 years of experience, and capable to start working as a professional.

These projects are multidisciplinary, and as such their preparation involves all the disciplines. The students plan and manage their projects themselves – therefore having a wide responsibility for their own education - but are supported by the ordinary theory tuition which runs alongside the project work and is as far as possible directly related to the project. Researching information e.g. using the reading room and the Internet are also important components of the project work.

All classes have a timetable showing when an individual teacher will be taking their class. At the beginning of the semester the teacher typically takes classes chiefly in the theory rooms; and later in the semester acts mostly as the students’ project consultant, in the project rooms, helping them with any problems with their projects etc.

In class there were many different students who have worked either mostly with books and theory or mostly in the field as craftsmen. Due to this mix of backgrounds in class the work groups were strong and dynamic with a wide spectrum of competence. The students helped each other using their skills best way possible.

international teamworkThe project work is carried out in groups of 2-6 students. The students create the groups themselves, but they are motivated to select teammates of as various – cultural, educational, professional etc. – backgrounds as possible.

Many different nationalities are represented at VIA University College, meaning that the exchange of ideas is not restricted to the exchange between Denmark and the home country of the international student, but takes place in a truly international environment represented by students from all over the world.

Professional bachelor

Professional bachelor programmes are professionally oriented bachelor curricula including a practical placement period which varies according to the specific education.

The courses prepare the students for a practical profession by emphasizing competency skills along with theory and analysis.

Multi-Storey HouSeS in SkanderborG 2008

18

Project backgroundThe hypothetical client was Skanderborg Housing Cooperative, a non-profit organization that ensures affordable apartments for ordinary people. The owner of the building plot at 66 Nørregade in Skanderborg town, where it planned to erect a new multi-storey residential block. Because Skanderborg Housing Cooperative wish to examine all the possibilities for

their plot they have employed each of us to come up with a proposal for a multi-storey house as our individual assignment. After that they chose one to be worked through for a proper outline proposal. (Every group was given a project to continue on.)

demands

General

The building had to be erected with 3-4 stories of apartments plus basement. The basement area should contain approximately space for the tenants and caretakers use (storage, laundry, service room etc). The top level should consist of 2-3 penthouse apartments. The apartments should be designed with 1-2 bedrooms (penthouses 3 bedrooms) with a good and sensible interior design. Kitchen and bathroom facilities should be flexible and up to date. The apartments had to be able to suite different ways of living and different family compositions as well as be user friendly for senior citizens though not live up to general demands for housing for the aged.

To ensure an affordable rent level the government set a maximum area for the apartments. They were 95 m2 for the one-bedroom and 110 m2 for the two-bedroom apartments, including all habitable and access areas. The penthouse apartments are to be privately owned and therefore not subjected to the demands

concerning maximum size, but they had to adapt to the building design.

Appearance and constructionThe building had to appear as a modern house. The existing surrounding buildings had to be taken into consideration, so that the new apartment blocks appearance is both aesthetic and homogenous. The apartment had to be integrated into the natural landscape. The buildings outside areas had to be landscaped regarding paths, planting of trees, bushes etc.

The apartment block ought to be erected mostly in brick (normal size). Lightweight cladding could be used to give the facade a more exciting appearance. The penthouse apartments had to be erected in light constructions. The load bearing structure is of prefabricated concrete or lightweight panels and hollow core floor partition elements.

Quality

The building should show energy-wise solutions that sets a precedent for future multi-storey housing. Skanderborg Housing Cooperative wanted to show courage and be the example others follow. The building had to be erected in materials that have the quality of a long Iifespan and easy maintenance. The choice of materials should enhance the buildings aesthetic qualities. Where possible; approved standard building materials ought to be implemented. Difficult accessible building materials and components had to be maintenance free.

EconomyThe government operates with a maximum price of 15 590 DKK/m2 for subsidised apartments, and Skanderborg Social

Cooperative was subjected to this. The maximum price had to comprise all costs including VAT and basement, excluding costs for air-raid shelter and the penthouse apartments.

registration assignment

In the beginning of the semester we had a task in order to gain sufficient knowledge to design modern and good quality houses. We formed groups and chose one topic from a list about Danish building design, components of usual dwellings. We had to gather examples, products and information about the aesthetic, functional and technical aspects and the regulations in connection with the chosen subject.

Erasmus Intensive Language Course

Erasmus Intensive Language Courses (EILC) are specialised courses in the less widely used and less taught European languages organised in the countries where these languages are spoken. I had the opportunity to participate in a three-week module with the aim of being prepared for their Erasmus mobility period in Denmark, where I have spent two years afterwards.

The EILC courses have the dual aim of

1. developing basic communication skills in Danish enabling the student to cope with everyday situations as well as

2. providing information on Denmark and insights into Danish culture and lifestyle.

The main approach was communicative, derived from a functional view of language. The focus was on active language usage. Listening and reading comprehension as well as oral production had been

given the greatest weight. Pronunciation exercises and grammar lessons were included.

The course was be conducted as a combination of teacher directed and learner centred activities, i.e. reading, writing and pronunciation exercises, communicative games, role plays, audio- and video based exercises. Completion of homework was also required. We were offered practice lessons with Danish students.

The aim of the cultural component is to introduce Denmark and Danish culture in its multifaceted manifestations through lectures, discussions and field-trips.

The course provides a unique opportunity to experience Danish culture, by social and cultural events along with lectures given on Danish writers, history and other cultural and social subjects. Selected examples of contemporary Danish filmmaking had been shown. We had introduction to traditional Danish music and folk dance.

Our theme was ‘Balcony, staircase and lift’, what we had to present to the class using posters and the projector. We also followed the presentation of the other topics by the rest of the groups.

tender phase (outline proposal)

On the basis of the handed out ‘client’s brief’ the students were requested to carry out analyses and sketches ending up with an outline proposal. Among other things the client wanted a state-of-the-art housing project in Energy class 1. According to the tender invitation letter the proposals shall be subject to the following criteria:

• Architectural design - 30%• Buildability, project organization and

time schedule - 30%• Sustainability in construction,

including choice of materials as well as energy initiatives - 30%

• Cost - 10%.

In the outline phase emphasis had been put on the ability to investigate and to sketch solutions at outline level.

Project proposal (Scheme design)

As building designer it was our task to further develop the project to such a state that it was to be suitable for planning

permission as well as solicitation of bids from prospective subcontractors. Special emphasis had been put on such elements as stairs, balconies, wet rooms, roofs and external wall construction.

On the right:Situation plan

We worked methodically - proposing solutions – from the overall level down to the detail.

Innovation week

‘Return ticket to uncharted territory’ is a week of innovative cross-disciplinary thinking. The participants of the project were approximately 330 students from nine different education programmes: Social Educator, Constructing Architect, Value Chain Management, Marketing Management, Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology Engineering, Global Business Engineering, and Civil Engineering.

The specific objective of the project was to give experience in using systematic methods for innovation processes - across disciplines and in close collaboration with external interested parties. Each project group was working on one idea for the entire week.

Our chosen project was ‘Using available energy’, a challenge given by LINAK Danmark A/S, who develops and manufactures linear actuator systems which produce electric movement (used for example in hospital beds, office desks or agricultural products). LINAK is also one of the largest suppliers of complete quality electric movement solutions.

Whenever a linear actuator is used it normally needs a lot of power in the forward or outgoing lift. The assignment was to collect the available extra energy of the return movement in order to reuse it for the next raise. For example lifting a complete bed surface from floor to working height. We came up with different solutions, such as springs or batteries, while gaining valuable experience in cooperating with different disciplines in order to solve a problem.

building services and building physicsWe analysed and designed the ventilation, sewer, drain, water and heating system including arrangement and dimensioning to fit the different demands. We learned about alternative energy solutions.

We calculated the energy frame of the buildings on an outline level. We studied sound theories and implemented it in calculations like reverberation time.

Structural design

We had to define the structural system of the buildings after analysing the available solutions. We learned the sizing of sound-

and hollow core floor slabs different types of suspended concrete slabs and beams. We calculated the anchoring of different types of roof constructions. We examined different ways of balcony fixings and abutments, then designed solution for our building.

building planning and management

We planned our own work – a basis for a theoretical fee calculation – and the whole project. The cost of the construction was calculated in accordance with the rules for government subsidised housing in Denmark. We acquired the principle of successive calculation, compared different

forms of contracts and tenders. We learned the basics of project scrutiny, quality assurance and safety and health, while expanded our professional vocabulary with terms used in construction projects.

elective subject: Sketching and watercolour in architectural visualisationThis was a three-week course to improve our skills in architectural sketching using pencil and watercolour. We practiced techniques that help visualising ideas or aesthetical appearances of buildings. The course included theoretical issues such as perspectives or colour scales.

Project backgroundThe building on Dannebrogsgade 4, Aarhus was built in 1899 by Master Mason J. Jensen. It is 4½ storeys and originally had 10 apartments, but the two on the top floor were amalgamated into one. The structure of the house was in acceptable condition, but it is more than hundred years old and did not fit the requirements of modern life, therefore needed a comprehensive renovation.

registration

As all renovation projects, this also began with a survey of the existing conditions. We received copies of some of the original drawings, but those didn’t show all the necessary details, so we made a research of the usual building techniques of the age and visited the building personally. The structure for the registration is a 20-point schedule.

outline proposal

The overall basis for this proposal is to bring about the establishment of new bathrooms and kitchens to each dwelling. Each floor level was to be expanded with a gross area of maximum 25 m2. The proposals were to be sketched on the basis of surveys of the existing conditions and discussions with the landlord about the future layout of the dwellings.

The 2 flats at top floor level should be converted into one, as a penthouse apartment. The wish was also to have a roof terrace placed towards the courtyard. The 2 flats at ground floor level were to be changed into offices or for the use of likewise nonindustrial businesses. It was also the owner’s wish that it be possible for tenants to access the basement and the back courtyard without going via the street. When modernizing the building the client would like to have an elevator fitted into the building.STREET SIDE

The existing roof surface was to be removed, including battens, sarking felt and flashing, damaged rafters to be renovated. Total thermal insulation was to be established. Dormers were to be removed and replaced by modern dormers in accordance with the local authority guidelines. A new insulated roof was constructed over the extension.

The basement was rearranged including a laundry, installation room and access from the courtyard.

In connection with the establishment of the extension for the new kitchens and bathrooms, the existing secondary staircase was to be removed and the existing main staircase extended down into the basement via an airlock.

The extension was to be erected as a steel construction with light walls and balconies.

The installations of the house were to be renovated or changed based on the registration.

Many smaller repair-works had to be done also based on the survey.

Scheme designWe went deeper in the design, what we proposed before, solving technical details, fitting the regulations. All materials and building components had been chosen and documented, also detailed drawings produced. The connections of new and existing parts were considered as critical parts.

Steel structure was examined in details, where dimensions were estimated and connections suggested. Analysis had been made for temporary supports during demolition and conversion.

Solutions for installations showing the way of the different pipes ensuring to have enough space in the walls and suspended ceiling. Further analyses were made U-value, sound and service shafts.

detail design 2

To prepare the Detail design 2 part was an individual assignment. We had to choose one trade of masonry, carpentry or blacksmith’s work and prepare drawings in the company of descriptions for all the work of the trade.

My chosen part was the steel construction. I had to work out work description to a detail were its possible to overview the exact extend of the trades work and to provide a basis for the contractor’s calculation of the price so the received prices in the tender bids are as close to the realistic market price as possible, and the work can be executed as planned. In my case it meant that I had to specify even which kind of bolts and washers the blacksmith has to use. I also prepared detailed assembly drawings for the most important connections, step-by-step planning construction of the steel tower along with a material and cutting list of the used steel elements, bolts etc.

It was also my job to make case specification, invitation for tender, plan for safety and health, quality assurance, site plan and work specification including tender control plan for the blacksmith contract.

Planning and management

Consultation agreement, fee calculations (for architectural and engineering consultation), two rent calculations (before and after renewal), detailed cost estimate, planning, value management, application for exemptions and building site arrangement was done. We also learned about and practiced Lean Construction Management methods.

Elective subject: 3ds MaxThis three-week course was an introduction to the basic 3D modelling, animation, lighting and rendering functions of Autodesk 3ds Max. We learned to use the program through tutorials, especially examples connected with architectural visualisation.

N After this we took off quantities, defining work methods and equipment to be used, then calculated work hours for workers and machinery. We collected prices of materials and price quotations from sub-contractors. We used the resulting price to make a bid for the construction project.

tender, Contract finalisation and execution

After winning the tender (as every other team) we set up the contracts with the client, sub-contractors and suppliers as well as coordination agreement.

We made a planning for the construction in consideration of resources, processes and time, as well as a cash flow budget. We arranged the site meetings, safety and health planning and the quality assurance of the project (with process control) along with a work environment assessment of the building site.

We prepared working drawings and work descriptions for the construction like excavation plan or drawing for concrete casting. We managed the finances of the project including interim payments.

We made the necessary documents for the handing over procedure, like notice of completion, QA of handing over, final accounts, guarantees or operation and maintenance plan.

Course Study unit - operation and maintenance

We learned to systematically prepare and communicate maintenance instructions / manuals for new buildings, in a form that complies with the demands in the laws for government grant-supported buildings. The course included information about legislation, lifespan of materials and building components as well as methods in connection with building component log and budgets.

Project backgroundOur client was the Diamond Jewelry Plc., and its managing director Søren Svendsen. The company manufactures and sells jewelry all over Denmark. It decided to expand into the European market and to build a modern new factory and office block under the same roof to replace their existing older rented property.

Prefabricated construction is very popular in Denmark, and made in a high quality; it was a great opportunity to learn about this technology there.

Demands

The client gave us the following guidelines for the design and tendering of the new premises.

The building should – where possible – consist of prefabricated building components. Materials should be selected on the basis of environmental loading and recycling potential. District heating, mechanical ventilation and heat recycling are specified.

The building should comply with current legislation in BR2008. The building should be quality assured on the basis of Ministry of Housing’s ‘Building works Quality Assurance Directive’ March

2004. Projection and design should be done in accordance with ‘Engineer and Architects service specifications in Building and Planning – April

2006’. Tender bids should be invited on the basis of the Detail Design 1 according

to BIPS A113 model 5, which allows the contractor to

finalise the planning and design and

prepare the final cost calculations.

Svendsen believes in supporting local authority job opportunity schemes. Two employees are employed

in ‘WORKSTEP’ job support schemes with government subsidies. One of his staff members was seriously injured in a traffic accident and worked from a wheelchair, therefore the building had to be designed with extra consideration to physically challenged or those with reduced working capacity.

Perspectives for the client in Outline phase

41

outline proposalWe have been given a preliminary proposal for the project, but we were also assigned to scrutinise and change certain things, then complete the outline.

We had to modify the plan so that it is suitable for 25 employees and give proposals for a potential extension for an exhibition centre. A reception and a kitchen area had to be included. The

production area was to be designed as a heavy construction of concrete elements, while the sales, marketing and office section was to be a lightweight construction using timber elements. The ground floor construction in the store and workshop area was to be dimensioned for truck driving. The structural system for the whole building had to be determined.

We were also responsible for the time and financial schedules

the on-going development of the

project.

Scheme design

As the main part of the design phase, we developed a more specific definition of the building in terms of rooms, room function, space requirements and not least a definition of the most predominant building materials, constructions and building components. We also upgraded the cost estimation and the project time schedule.

We found solutions to fit the demands of the different installations, what had been researched in the outline phase.

detail design 1 and tenderingDetail design is the phase to produce

documentation - drawings and specifications - in a standard (BIPS A113 model 5) to form basis for authority

approval and tendering. It contains all details of the final

project design that are relevant to the authorities, those of the architectural

design, choice of construction and materials as well as technical installations. The documentation includes an application for building permit, plans (1:100), sections (1:20), elevations (1:100), structural calculations, technical installations and calculation of heat loss.

We managed an online tender procedure through docia.com that absolutely fits the methods used in the Scandinavian construction sector. For this, we produced the relevant tender documents such as invitation for tender, tender application form, tender control plan, tender time schedule, works- and case specification, and building site plan. We experienced this process from both sides as we applied for the tender of another group of the class as a contractor company.

Non project-related coursesConcrete in relation to prefabrication of building elements

The course gave detailed knowledge about the material characteristics of concrete such as composition, characteristics and adaptability. We learned about standards and other quality demands along with construction principles including protective methods. We studied environmental aspects and commercial dimensions of concrete.

Wood in relation to prefabrication of building elementsThis course taught similar aspects of timber-based products as the previous one did about concrete.

Moisture in buildingsThe classes gave insight in the use of SBi Guide 173 – Moisture protection of buildings. After receiving theoretical information, we calculated damp pressure

and dew point using calculating software and diagrams. We examined general construction types and those used in the semester project in particular.

For more details request my ‘Moisture course assignment’.

Energy and Energy Frame in accordance with BR08We learned the theory, and calculated energy frame in accordance with the Building Regulation 2008 and SBi Direction 213 – Energy requirements for buildings. We used the calculation program Be06 developed by the Danish Building Research Institute (SBi) and the Danish Energy Agency (EnS).

Elective module

The Elective Module report is an individual assignment to be assessed independently and outside semester project context. We were free to choose any subject for the report as long as it is related to the building industry. Introduction to the elective module takes place at the beginning of the semester through a number of introductory presentations given by lecturers and by external professionals. A few weeks into the semester each student was asked to hand in a preliminary memo to the team coordinator outlining the problem statement. Hereafter, we were assigned a tutor who provided guidance throughout the assignment period. The report had to contain an investigatory professional text about the chosen subject. I worked on the topic ‘Aesthetics in sustainability’ with one of my classmates.

See more at ‘Essays’.

Perspectives for client in Outline phase

Production of facade elementAfter Detail design 1 we had been placed in the role of manufacturers, where we took over the project materials from one of the other groups for further adaptation. The process started with scrutinizing the received material. Hereafter the elements had been designed and the manufacturing process planned. The assignment consisted of subject areas within, planning and design, production technology, financial aspects and organisation.

Product design

In the role of a manufacturer of wooden facade elements, we had to produce a detailed design of building elements. We had a professional cooperation with the team, who played the role of the contracting party, our client. We also planned the production process including such considerations as the factory layout, needed human resources, used materials and price of the product.

establishment of industrial production and business plan

We were assigned to set up a company, a producer of timber elements. We examined the way of starting a new business, special considerations about the building sector and Danish business methods. We followed

examples from real life and tried to do everything as we would in a real business. We had lectures about the subject and made research on the Internet, in the library and by visiting existing companies to have both theoretical and practical knowledge and to find out the traditional methods which have stood the test of time along with the newest innovative techniques. Next to the financial success of our company, we considered environmental, social issues as well as the well-being of our workers.

We defined the objectives and missions of the firm, planned the structure of the company including the business formation and human resources and also located the factory. We made product description, planned the financing and the budget, created sales and marketing strategy.

Project backgroundApartments for young (18-50 years-old) people who suffered traumatic brain injury, therefore not able to take care about themselves. There are 8 separate apartments each one sufficient for housing one person. It contains a bedroom, a lavatory with shower and toilet, a living room and kitchen area. Each of them has a terrace.

The care home should also consist of administrative (3 offices and a meeting room) and common spaces (two common kitchens, a laundry and a common activity room). There is a basement part containing changing rooms with shower for the staff, storage areas and technical room.

The care home is being built for physically and psychically challenged tenants; therefore it must be level-free and totally accessible for people with various disabilities including all outer areas (excluding the basement).

It is an individual multidisciplinary project that documents the most important aspects and reflects the totality of the Constructing Architect education.

The project contains phases from Outline brief to Detail design 2.

exchangeThe project is being made as an exchange student in the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 - L’Institut Universitaire de Technologie A in Lyon, France.

I have consultants from the Danish VIA University College, whom I keep contact with on the Internet through email, Skype and online worksharing methods. Two French tutors are helping my work with advices personally in Lyon.

Even though I will be evaluated by my Danish teachers, I follow the Danish regulations and working methods; I have the opportunity to make a comparison with the French legislation, construction and management techniques. The local tutors are also going to participate on my final examination.

I also study French language in the UCBL.

dissertation

During the semester I also work on my thesis, what has connection with the local architecture and urbanism.

piece - and one separate boiler-building.

The three parts are built in a mixture of prefabricated concrete elements, cast concrete and brick construction. The original builders made several serious mistakes during the construction including missing materials, technological mistakes,

the CompanyETALON Építő- és Szerelőipari Kft. is a private limited company founded in 1991. It presently employs approximately 40 persons. Headquarters are situated in Kaposvár, Hungary, but the company is involved in constructions countrywide.

It is mainly engaged in projects via main contracts. They are carrying out different constructions; dwellings as well as supermarkets or public places.

the renovation and innovation of the Public bath of kaposvár

The swimming pool and medical bath was built in 1967-68 and was totally renovated between 1985 and 1997. The 50m outdoor swimming pool was built in 1995, modernized in 1999 and is convertible since 2000. On the former site of the beach, a “fun-bath” (called Flower-bath or Virágfürdő in Hungarian) opened in 2005.

The main building, where the renovation took place, can be divided into three parts – the 25 m indoor swimming pool, the medical or thermal part and the entrance

which is why the structural system had to be reviewed and partly strengthened.

The complex did not meet the European regulations on accessibility. There were not enough parking places. Coverings and outside cobblestones were aged.

On the previous page:Perspective of the extension of the public bath after finishing the construction

On the right:Perspective about the bath before the construction

53

The building is only forty years old, but the construction is made in so bad quality, that a total renovation became necessary. The building had been demolished until its structure, the statical elements partly changed or strengthened, the building services updated.

The town wanted to increase the tourism, so they decided to invest in the innovation of the public bath. This also answered the downturn of the construction market.

The major extension was the new wellness part with two stories, one outdoor pool with 150 m2 water-surface and one indoor pool with 250 m2, which are connected through flood-gates. Sauna, fitness, hair dresser, cosmetic services will be available.

The existing parts had been reorganized; made to fit to the accessibility demands and to be able to select the guests onto different areas. In the east wing the medical part had been enlarged to the place of the demolished sunbath-terrace.

The entrance part became two-storey high, with a more modern space-usage and look. A restaurant is placed here.

I spent most of the time of my practical placement on this site. My direct principal was the building site manager and his

foreman; I collaborated with a technician and another intern.

My job was mainly to keep contact with the subcontractors, produce work-drawings, measure on site, organize work, managing supplies and administrate.

Multi-storey dwellings in Pécs

The project consists of 6 multi-storey buildings, parking- and green areas.

The structure is a monolithic concrete system; the walls are made of bricks and lightweight concrete elements. Tiled roof

on timber structure.

I worked on the expected budget of the project. I made measurements, cost estimation, calculations. My principals were the leader of the financial department and one of the owners of the company.

For more details request my ‘Practical Placement Report’.

abstract

This report gives an overview of the concept of green architecture by looking back at the beginning of this movement and comparing different definitions. We have acknowledged how the term ‘green architecture’ has developed through time and the visionaries behind the concept. We also studied the techniques applied for green solutions and analysed if they are aesthetically accepted in the world of design. In accordance with the potential usage of the methods, we also found limitations and possible challenges. The report concludes that green architecture

baCHelor’S tHeSiS: urban renewal in lyon-Confluence 2010

titleUrban Renewal in Lyon Confluence. How to transform an unused industrial area to the new eco-quarter?

date

November 2010

abstract

This study analyses the possibilities to redefine an urban district in an ecological way. The basis of the research is a case study of the urban renewal project to convert the area formed by the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers in Lyon, France.

The dissertation gives an overview of the development of the district in order to see the historical reasons that made the project necessary. The Confluence area played an important role in the industrial development of the city, but became unwanted as it was in the end of the 20th century. It is in a strategic location, therefore the local authority aimed to develop it into the extension of the current city centre forming a valuable area with

mixed use.

In order to analyse the ecologic aspects of this development, the report attempts to clarify the idea of sustainability. It shows the development of the theories through a chronological review of the important studies, movements, conferences and agreements. Some of the relevant certifi-cates and evaluation tools are introduced to gather practical indicators of urban s u s t a i n a b i l i t y .

renewal project that can be used during future ecologic development of neighbourhoods.

2004-2006HuManitieS & art StudieS

I spent only three semesters studying humanities, before I changed in order to follow more practical education. Even though I never finished those studies, they gave me a base knowledge and they are still determinative in my way of thinking about arts or theories. The English programme gave me important language education; cinema is still a field of my personal interest.
