<objectives>After successfully completing this module, students will:
_	have expanded their knowledge about building construction, especially timber construction.
_	be familiar with basic structural solutions in modern timber construction and be able to integrate requirements from the areas of structural design, climate protection and comfort into their designs.
_	be able to plan a simple 2-3 storey building in timber construction.
Personal competence:
_	Students will learn to understand and classify extensive and complex issues and boil them down to the most important core aspects (ability to analyze).
_	They will learn to process subject-specific tasks and problems independently.
_	Students will develop and train their ability to present results in analogue and digital form.</objectives>
<content>_	Lectures and tutorials with a focus on structural design in timber construction.
_	Development of simple 2-3 storey buildings in timber construction.
_	Practical building construction topics will be dealt with. 
_	Differentiation of basic structural principles of load transfer in primary and secondary structures in panes, supports, load-bearing and non-load-bearing shells.
_	Development of simple load-bearing systems in timber construction, such as frame or skeleton frame construction and design-related details for all essential elements such as roof, terrace, balcony, loggia and interior finishing with stairs.
