Construction Analysis is a second-year subject of the Bachelor of Design - The University of Melbourne, and a required subject for students who want to complete a Major in Architecture.
Construction Analysis explores the idea of construction as a process that strategically links structural principles to building elements, systems, materials, and techniques. Using a set of given case studies, students are asked to review and describe Australian residential buildings' physical anatomy, emphasising how architectural ideas are conventionally translated into technological solutions.
