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.
