Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%Type of evaluation
The final exam will be based on the evaluation of the works produced during the entire course of the workshop: exercises and design of a single-family residence teacher profile teaching materials
In the first half of the year, the commitment is 50 hours, dedicated to frontal lessons, architectural visits and practical exercises for modeling and design.
In the second semester, the engagement is 100 hours and addresses the design theme of a residence for five artists, which proposes a specific dwelling for this small temporary community, the period in the residence is six months. The project area is an agricultural land in the upper Lazio, near the small village of Chia in the province of Viterbo, near some important historic and natural presences.

Exercises
1-Topography (Individual)
Exercise with level curves to be played by model, is assigned a building volume of date size that must be housed on the ground by creating a digging, or a podium by land reconditioning and making an access path. Scale 1: 250

The course is divided into three successive exercises, at the same time specific contents are provided through lectures, educational visits and revisions of the work produced for the deliveries of the exercises. The exercises concern in the order: - comprehension and project of the orography and its representation - analysis, redesign and scale reconstruction of famous residential architecture, chosen according to what will be required in the second semester project - project of a small shelter in a place chosen by the designer, using a single building system.Attendance
Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%Type of evaluation
The final exam evaluation takes into account all the exercises and activities carried out by the student during the year, the quality of the final project is of course decisive in the award of the vote itself. The final project is evaluated according to three parameters: - quality and relevance of the idea and of the proposed settlement principle, in relation to the functional program and the context - architectural definition, in reference to materials, construction system, quality of spaces, technical solutions adopted according to the project idea - representation of the project, with orthogonal projections, three-dimensional drawings and models. teacher profile teaching materials
The lessons will illustrate these themes also through a critical analysis of some works from the history of architecture, representing some archetypes and their evolution and hybridization.
Particular attention will be paid to the formation of the figurative culture needed to guide the design choices, so as to develop in the students the ability to manage the complexity of the project according to a conscious aesthetic and spatial thought.
The exercises proposed during the first semester will stimulate the student to immediately translate into design practice the theoretical notions acquired during the lessons.

Programme
The lessons will deal with the fundamental architectural topics: forms and compositional principles in art and architecture; compositional principles and spatial forms; architecture and place: settlement models; constructive systems and architectural figures; architecture and light; space, dimension and proportion.The lessons will illustrate these themes also through a critical analysis of some works from the history of architecture, representing some archetypes and their evolution and hybridization.
Particular attention will be paid to the formation of the figurative culture needed to guide the design choices, so as to develop in the students the ability to manage the complexity of the project according to a conscious aesthetic and spatial thought.
