Course abstract

The aim of the course is to introduce students with basic principles of agricultural building designing. Students learn kinds of building and classification, fire- prevention measures, choise of production zone site and general plan design. Students are introduced with most characteristic building construction schemes, agricultural technologies, regulations, building planning
