Brief information about the Chair

The Chair of Architectural Structures specialises in providing professional training in the fields of Architecture of Buildings and Structures and Structural Physics for students majoring in:
6.1201 "Architecture";
6.0921 "Construction";
6.0926 "Water Resources";
6.0916 "Chemical Technology and Engineering";
6.0502 "Management";
6.1004 "Transportation Technologies".
Students major in all areas of expertise take theoretical course and complete graphic and calculations assignments.
Theoretical and practical courses in architectural structures and structural physics have been taught since 1945.
Nowadays students study 3-D planning of the structure, buildings, exterior appearance and interior in terms of finding constructive solutions; all types of structures and their part in developing 3-D layouts and finding architectural-artistic solutions. Future experts study physical phenomena and processes in the structures of buildings related to heat and light transition.

The Chair is involved in the following research activities:
Researching the issues of structural physics associated with improving comforts of artificial environment;
Researching heat consumption and developing limitations of power consumption;
Researching and developing power efficient technologies and applying them for external and internal heat insulation of protective construction structures.
