ABN564 Complex Building Systems

This unit provides opportunities to formulate, refine and devise advanced technological solutions as they are applied to structures with moderate to advanced complexity. It presents advanced ideas, subjects, and techniques related to selecting, designing, and integrating innovative structural, construction, and service systems into large-scale buildings. It considers the nature and impact of architectural technology choices and how they are refined to be incorporated into complex architectural projects. The unit examines the foundations, structures, cladding, services, and fabric of a complex building. It also develops your understanding of how the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards affect the building’s architectural technology. This unit builds on knowledge of Architectural Technology learned in your undergraduate degree and will help you develop an understanding of advanced systems that are used in complex buildings.
