• Introduction: Examines the properties, production, lifecycle, and eco-footprints of raw materials used in exterior environments.
Instructor Profile
Prerequisites
Description
• Topics Covered: Concrete variants; steel alloys; timber treatments; smart composite materials; embodied carbon; recyclability.
• Course Objectives: Select materials critically based on structural performance, long-term aging, and carbon impacts.
• Learning Outcomes: Author comprehensive material spec sheets, calculate carbon footprint comparisons, and prescribe low-impact alternatives.
Course Rules
• Course Rules: The Carbon Cap Rule: Assigned facade designs must mathematically stay under a designated embodied-carbon threshold. Weathering Justification: Students must provide empirical data showing how their chosen materials will perform over a 15-year freeze-thaw lifecycle.
