Case Studies
Historic Timber Bridges in Switzerland
Information
The course starts with a series of introductory lectures on the topic. On the first lecture date, participants have to get together in groups and are assigned a tutor. In the following weeks, two introductory lectures and one on-site introductory lecture take place at a nearby bridge. Afterwards, the groups work on a concrete case study on site.
As part of the course, 4 full days on site are to be planned, two of them before the first intermediate critique!
