This book reflects the work done during one year in Erasmus, in the city of Aalborg in Denmark. At UCN, the curriculum was more practical approach to architecture and construction. The student gets understanding of all construction process in a building, from the inception to the end life of the building. The main project work was on a renovation building and a new construction building, divided in two semesters. This include the idea, the design, the constructive solutions, the installation of building services and the construction planning of both buildings. Both projects had requirements to be met, so imposed by the project itself but mostly related with Building Regulation in existence. Each student was also to write an elective per semester. This is a written assignment, in which the student writes about a topic of its choice that is related with the industry. The main interest in a topic was sustainability in buildings. The frst is about self-sufcient buildings and how can design influence building sustainability. The second is about the use of water in a building and how can it be reused efciently. This book introduces the teaching, shows all the done in two semesters and it includes the two electives written.
