About this course

The course is built up as a series of lectures and compulsory activities that support the students' work on assignments. First, a short assignment is carried out in collaboration with LAA215. Then a design assignment is carried out with drawings and descriptions aimed at construction consisting of several parts.

In order to solve the thesis, all lessons learned through previous courses in the LING programme should be applied. This is e.g. knowledge of materials, foundations, coatings, edges, other constructive solutions, soil and plant use, as well as knowledge of descriptions, drawings and contracts. Relevant literature and project examples are referred to. In addition to previous lectures, students must find relevant sources through searches in literature, websites and project examples. Guidance will be given in groups.
