21002001 - BUILDING TECHNOLOGY STUDIO

To apply the knowledge gained in the course of materials and construction elements, introducing the relationship between architectural form and construction techniques in the experimental design, to provide basic knowledge designed to develop a critical awareness about the integration between: functional adequacy
with respect to the use and environment project; constructive correctness compared to energy, technical, productive and economic resources.

Programme

THE PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP ARE INTENDED FOR THE STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS AND KNOWLEDGE TO CHECK THE DESIGN OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING, TO DEVELOP THE BEST EXPERTISE IN CRITICAL ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY THE MOST PROPER CONSTRUCTION CHOICES.
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LABORATORY IS AIMED TO DEVELOP CRITICAL AWARENESS TO THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE FUNCTIONAL SUITABILITY, THE EXPRESSIVE COHERENCE, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CONTEXT, BOTH FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE ENVIRONMENT, THAT FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF ENERGY, AND THE CHOICES OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES.
STUDENTS ARE DRIVEN TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF DESIGN STRATEGIES TRADITIONAL OR INNOVATIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES, AIMED TO THE DEFINITION OF A SYNERGY BETWEEN THE SHAPE OF THE BUILDING AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL CULTURE AND THE OPTIMIZATION OF ITS ENERGY BEHAVIOR, ALWAYS KEEPING THE CONTROL OF THE MORPHOLOGY, OF THE ORIENTATION AND OF THE MATERIALS.

Type of delivery of the course

At this time, for the CoronaVirus emergency, lessons are held remotely. Students can access all information relating to the course, the exercises and the delivery of the documents through the Moodle platform in the section dedicated to the ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTION LABORATORY channel A The course includes lectures on the themes of technology and construction systems with particular attention to wood construction technologies. During the course the students will work in the classroom under the supervision of the teacher to carry out the project of a high-performance prefabricated wooden construction using eco-friendly materials and technologies. During the course intermediate deliveries are planned in order to assess the progress of the project. These deliveries will be made using graphic drawings, study models, slides and videos.

Attendance

Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lessons

Type of evaluation

For the Covid emergency, the examination will take place remotely according to the indications of the Rectorate (D.R.n. 703/2020) The exam will be oral upon presentation by the candidates of the requested graphic works. These papers must be delivered 5 working days before the appeal to allow the teacher to examine them. During the oral exam, candidates will have to illustrate the project strategies and will have to answer the teacher's questions regarding the papers presented. The exam will take place in public form in the sense that all students enrolled in the course or anyone who specifically requests it from the teacher can always assist at a distance. The exam will take place using the Microsoft Teams or Zoom software. The exam cannot be recorded. The exam aims at assessing the level of learning of the course topics through the discussion of project documents: the design documents for the exam must contain: concept and project strategies bioclimatic schemes evaluation of natural light plans, elevations and sections on a 1:50 scale construction assembly sequence stratigraphy of the envelope construction details of all construction nodes (1:20) scale model 1:50 plastic of a portion of the building with floor slab, wall and roof slab in scale 1:20 render

Programme

The Building Technology Studio addresses the technological design of buildings by combining the aspects related to environmental sustainability with those of the construction configuration. The contents are defined with the aim of making the students exercise both in the application of the knowledge already acquired on materials and construction techniques, and in the study of technological solutions aimed at environmental design towards Nearly Zero Energy Buildings.
Through exercises with an increasing degree of complexity, the Studio deals with the design from the technological and constructive point of view of the main elements (structure, envelope, roof, wall, etc.), due to their structural and energy-environmental behavior, of materials employees and related building techniques.
The Laboratory is organized in three teaching units:
• UD1_Functions and context: environmental characteristics of the site and accessibility, functional structures and bioclimatic behavior of the building;
• UD2_Structure and typology: organization of the structural system, also due to the main issues concerning fire safety and the presence of plants;
• UD3_Envelope and nodes: definition of the technological characteristics of the vertical and horizontal, opaque and transparent, envelope elements, technological design of the most important nodes, in relation to the expected figurative outcomes consistent with the project.
The experience of the school building site is an integral part of the Studio and will take place in the months of May-June at the Training Center for Building Masters in Rome and Province in Pomezia.

Type of delivery of the course

The Building Technology Studio deals with in-depth design of the main elements of a building (structure, opaque and transparent, horizontal and vertical envelope) through the study of case studies, the comparison and evaluation of alternative technological solutions, the representation in detail of the most significant elements of the project. To this aim the Studio is organized in: lessons (knowledge and understanding); classroom exercises, related to the lesson (practical application); on-site exercises (direct experience at the training site of the Training Center for Building Masters in Pomezia). For remote didactics, the Laboratory makes use of: - ZoomPRO platform for teaching with the direct involvement of students; - Microsoft's OneDrive as a repository for teaching materials (https://uniroma3-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/pmarrone_os_uniroma3_it/EkMJiadRHKdGpZYburFwL-UBN5oxUCh8y24UmEbOYc6ZNg?e=PpjzvF); - Moodle (https://architettura.el.uniroma3.it/course/view.php?id=125) and e-mail platform as student contact management environments.

Attendance

The presence will be recorded in the classroom by signing or the elaboration of the exercise linked to the lesson of the day.

Type of evaluation

The verification of learning takes place through the ongoing review of the elaborations required on the theme of the year, and which will be evaluated in the final exam. The final exam will be in the form of an oral interview held remotely on the Teams platform. Therefore, in the exam, starting from a short individual presentation and discussion on the products produced during the Laboratory, the learning path will be assessed. To this end, drawings and all the related documents must be uploaded to the GoogleDrive folder of the Laboratory no later than five days before the exam.
