Building on the concepts covered in Conventional Construction Systems, this course delves into the finishing stages of architectural projects. Students investigate cladding systems, insulation methods, interior and exterior finishing materials, roofing technologies, and the detailing required to ensure high-performance building envelopes. Emphasis is placed on material selection, installation techniques, and how finishing works enhance both the functionality and aesthetic quality of a building. Through case studies, technical drawings, and practical assignments, students develop a comprehensive understanding of finishing processes, modern innovations in construction, and the ways in which these elements harmonize with design intent.
