General description
The subject Physics for Architecture 2 provides an introduction to physical phenomena relevant to architectural design and how they are included in current regulations.
The behavior of fluids is studied, both moving and at rest, as well as heat transfer focused to building envelopes. It also includes contents of applied acoustics, electricity and, finally, theory of light and color.
The subject Physics for Architecture 2 provides an introduction to physical phenomena relevant to architectural design and how they are included in the current mandatory regulations.
This is, therefore, a course of physics applied to architecture which includes an approach to hydrostatic contents - that will allow the students, for example, to determine hydrostatic thrusts on walls or slabs-; hydrodynamics - focusing especially on the behavior of fluids inside ducts; concepts of thermodynamics and hygrometry focused on the study of the envelopes of buildings and the thermal conditioning of architectural spaces; acoustics applied to the insulation and conditioning of premises; besides contents about electricity and theory of light and color. Whenever possible, the concepts explained apply to real architectural situations, underscoring the relationship between physics and architecture.
