Programme

The aim of the course is to make the student think about the design of a building in its urban and architectural dimension; about the coherence between form, functional program, typology and structure.
The course is developed in theoretical lessons and exercises. The final exercise concerns the design of a residential building with attached services, within an empty area of a dense urban fabric. The building will thus have to be conceived as a part of the city, as an element capable of completing the urban landscape and relating to public space. At the same time it will have to answer, in its articulation and internal organization, the necessities of private life, the theme of the housing.

Type of delivery of the course

What the laboratory requires • The shape of the place: Studies on the morphology of the place: the shape of the earth and settlement and typological principles. The visual orientation, the sun exposure and the tectonic structure of the intervention. • The layout in the context of the neighborhood: What set-up? Tall and with concentrated volumes? low and with distributed volumes? or by integrating the qualities previously described? Functional diagrams: compositional diagrams; distribution schemes; dimensional schemes; modular schemes; typological, volumetric and formal schemes. The travel system; the system of public open spaces, semi-public and private spaces; the green and mobility system. Plan of the neighborhood scale (ratio 1: 1000); Plani-volumetry (ratio 1: 500); Profiles. Model of the contextualized intervention (rapp. 1: 500), and overall views. • The architecture of the residential complex: The form of living: The typological and distributive conception of the intervention. Tectonics and construction principles. The organism and its functioning. Plans, sections and elevations. (ratio 1: 200 and excerpts 1: 100) Model of the intervention (rapp1: 200), and overall views. • Accommodation: The organization of living. 1:50 scale housing plans. The internal spatiality and the relationship with the outside. • The construction: Constructive and technological analysis of the intervention. Excerpt of plan, section and elevation in scale 1:50. In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.

Attendance

Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%

Type of evaluation

The evaluation of the exam consists in the average of the performances among the different disciplines integrated in the Design Laboratory (Economic evaluation and Technology). The development of the following contents is essential: 1: relationship with the place: the planimetric organism; 2: relationship between building typology and morphology of the residential district; 3: quality of housing spatial organization; 4: relationship between architectural conception and constructive conception. In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.

Programme

The architectural design laboratory 3, located at the end of the three-year degree course, will focus on the design of a medium-sized building with a predominantly residential function, integrated with spaces for commerce and other services, in an empty area of the consolidated urban zone of the city of Rome. The project will be confronted with an articulated urban landscape and will have to evaluate all the aspects related to the insertion of an architectural organism within an existing context. We must consider, as main themes of reasoning: the evaluation of the settlement principle and the typological, morphological and spatial characteristics of the organism in relation to those present in the context in which it is inserted, the relationship with the public space and with the infrastructure system present in the immediate vicinity. At the same time the building will have to give answers to the theme of living, proposing housing solutions that are the result of an updated thought on new ways of life and new housing needs. The project will be developed on a scale that will allow both a definition of the technological and structural characteristics of the organism and an economic evaluation of a parametric type.

Type of delivery of the course

The planned project will be carried out mainly in the classroom. Should the corona virus emergency persist, the Laboratory will use the Moodle platform at: https://architettura.el.uniroma3.it/course/search.php?q=Laboratorio+di+progettazione+architettonica&areaids=core_course-course for communications and the loading of programs, materials and lessons and the Zoom Meeting platform for lessons. The project activity will be divided into five phases, with related activities: - Analytical phase: site inspection, analysis of the context with particular with regard to: size of the area, altimetry and exposure, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the surrounding building fabric, particularly significant emergencies, vehicular, pedestrian and cycle paths and its possible needs and transformations, presence or absence of primary public services, presence of areas greens and public meeting spaces, detection of any deficiencies and needs to be compensated with the project.- Instrumental phase: realization of the basic drawings necessary for the project: sections of the area, 3d, models of the project area including the built-up area surrounding.

Attendance

Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%

Type of evaluation

Oral exam and project evaluation. The exam will take place in presence or remotely on the Zooms portal if the restrictions due to Covid-19 persist. In this second case, the student must deliver the graphic designs of the project proposal 24 hours before the exam, in high resolution PDF format, via we transfer (or similar) to the following e-mail addresses: lorenzo.dallolio@uniroma3.it ; alessandro.desimone89@gmail.com; falvio.graviglia@hotmail.it; sererubino@gmail.com. The project will be accompanied by a 1: 500 model that will be assessed through photographic images inserted in the tables and via webcam. The student will be called to describe the characteristics of the project, from its basic philosophy, to the detailed solutions. The requested documents will be specified during the final phase of the Laboratory. In principle, the project must be represented in order to describe the insertion of the intervention within the city (1: 2000; 1: 500), the type-morphological system adopted (1: 200), the housing solutions adopted (1:50) and the technological and material solutions developed (1:20).

Programme

The course aims to design a building with a complex program starting from the demolition of an existing building according to the most current methods of transforming the consolidated urban fabrics of our cities.

The student is asked to develop a project strategy taking into account the innumerable restrictions and limits that come from the immediate urban context.

During the development of the project, the student will also have to deal with constructive technological and project evaluation issues. For this purpose, a 1:50 scale study of the building's cross section will be required, in order to deepen the design aspects related to the choices of technological detail.

Core Documentation

Depending on the chosen project site, reference texts will be provided.

Reference Bibliography

During the laboratory, reference case studies will be provided in relation to the topics covered during the lessons and during the project reviews.

Type of delivery of the course

The Laboratory is structured according to a cycle of lectures whose objective is to provide a basic knowledge of the laboratory's design theme and to deepen the aspects related to the architectural project to be developed. Subsequently, the work of drafting the project will proceed according to a series of progress states agreed from time to time and verified in subsequent revisions. The Laboratory will proceed by work phases: at the end of each block of the development phase, a general review of all aspects of the project is organized, to verify the progress of the work and compliance with the required requirements. Students will carry out part of the work autonomously and part during laboratory hours, with revisions on request. The activity will mainly revise the projects AND refine its various aspects, according to a set of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs aimed at illustrating the various aspects and details of the project. In the case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.

Attendance

The lessons according to the general epidemiological situation will take place in the traditional way, remotely or in a mixed way.

Type of evaluation

The final evaluation of the project will be based on the one hand on the progress of the reviews supported by the student during the course of the laboratory and on the effectiveness of the final presentation of the exam; on the other, it will be based on the ability to integrate the construction and assessment aspects of the project into the project proposal. In the case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.
