Furthermore, basic principles for the design of structures are outlined. Based on this, in the second semester, structural designs are developed by deriving the supporting structures from the internal component stresses on largescale, formable, "dynamic" models. The learning of the "point of view" of architecture from the perspective of the structural design theory of constructions is intended to establish a common understanding and vocabulary of architects and engineers. Furthermore, design exercises with the focus on the load bearing of components allow a basic understanding of the effect of forces on these components. This leads to a clear experience of the mechanisms required to resist these forces.
