Since the course corresponds to the second semester, previous knowledge of Construction I is recommended
Every building is a complex of construction systems, each of which must meet certain requirements and provide the necessary benefits. Each constructive element can be built with different techniques and materials depending on the technological advances and the particular circumstances of each moment and each building typology. Basic Knowledge for the rest of the subjects of the CONSTRUCTION itinerary is provided. The set of objectives is formulated to ensure that the future graduate consolidates the basic knowledge about Construction, providing an overview of the modern building and allowing to fix the conceptual frame for the specialized knowledge to develop in future subjects.
