Case Studies
Historic roof structures in Switzerland
Information
The course begins with two introductory lectures on the topic in the classroom. In the following weeks, the groups work on a specific case study in the Fischingen Monastery.
Three full days on-site at the object and a meeting at the institute (HIT H43) with the tutor must be taken into account when working on the subject.
The course can be booked in the course catalog as a one-semester module, but the number of participants is limited to 40. Each booking obliges students to attend all compulsory dates throughout the semester.
