Programme

Drawing proposes itself as a quest for an individual aesthetics, one which is subjective, which is one’s own and in some sense unique; and hence a conquest of one’s own autonomy, of one’s own freedom of expression. Graphic operations have, as a matter of fact, the quality of indissolubly marrying execution techniques, understood as manual operability, and abstract thought. From this marriage flows the exceptional condition of drawing as concerning all of the arts, and in some way as well, the multidisciplinarity of its teachings which run through all of the professional training or university degrees in the creative disciplines. Drawing should be understood, in keeping with its most ancient academic traditions, as a project metalanguage (shared amongst the arts), namely how to know that which concerns the figurative dimension - and hence communicative (representative) of architectonic construction. Learning how to draw contributes, in the didactic process, to the formation of a precise figurative culture of architecture and is inescapably situated between design and history. This course proposes to deepen, to experiment with techniques of representation, aimed at the knowledge, reading, direct surveying, analysis, and conception of architecture. One shall not be able to draw flawlessly in the little time at our disposal; the practice of drawing and the learning of this is an absorbing and constant effort which one must do on one’s own and which should accompany us throughout our entire life; the course shall however seek to lay the groundwork which shall allow you to understand and strengthen your own expressive modalities through drawing: and to apply the various techniques, thanks to the direct and practical indications given during the supervised practice sessions, by means of the study, observation and the redrawing of the emblematic cases of both classical as well ascontemporary architecture and art. Through these practice sessions, the definition of your own graphic expressivity shall be furthered, thus helping you to grasp how crucial drawing is in order to express your own ideas as well as for the project. Studying texts dedicated to the masters of architecture, from
Palladio to Aldo Rossi, from Leonardo to Le Corbusier, our running from sketches to the more aseptic computerized renderings, is a kind of knowledge, which is absolutely indispensable for the architect in order to carry out the precise rendering of his or her own ideas. That architecture is learnt and communicated by drawing architectures is for all intents and purposes obvious, but not at the same time the consciousness of drawing as the expression of the mind and soul. The first part of the course shall therefore deepen knowledge of free hand drawing, a procedure which alludes to the past but which has also has illustrious contemporary admirers, and a particular space shall be dedicated to drawing from reality, to the sketches, to prospective drawing and on-sight relief. In the second part we shall experiment with the various techniques of contemporary representation and not, as a complex exercise in the interpretation of reality, we shall pass from ink to pencil, from charcoal crayon to watercolours, from sanguines to pantones on supports which differ from time to time. Every lesson shall be preceded by practice sessions conducted in the classroom or outside in the presence of a teacher who shall provide practical clarifications on the execution. Intermediate verifications will take place and attendance in the lessons and in the practice tasks is required.

The material will be indicated by the teacher during the lessons.

The course aims to deepen and to experiment with the techniques of representation aimed at knowledge, reading, direct survey, analysis, architecture design. Through these exercises, the definition of one's own graphic expressiveness will be favored, thus helping to understand how drawing is essential for expressing one's own ideas and for the project. It will include: frontal lessons, exercises, fieldwork and group work. The course is divided into phases: ANALYSIS AND REPRESENTATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE VISIONS AND ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATIONS 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. In particular, the following methods will apply: remote and Teams platform.

Attendance

The attendance is mandatory at 75%

Type of evaluation

The final exam takes place through the elaboration of four hand-made graphic extempore lasting 8 hours each, to be carried out in two days in the classroom. Furthermore, the creation of two digital works and a written-graphic notebook is required. Deliveries and evaluations are expected during the year. All exam sheets from previous years are available on the course website: 100disegni.blogspot.it and on the facebook page Disegno dell'Architettura. The final exam takes consist in a discussion regarding the sheets presented and the theoretical contents of the course. Required documents: ANALYSIS AND REPRESENTATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT: EXTEMPORE 1 - in the classroom ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY: TABLE 4 - at home KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE: EXTEMPORE 2 - in the classroom A LESSON ON DRAWING: EXTEMPORE 3 - in the classroom THE DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT: TABLE 5 - CAD THE ARCHITECTURE MANIFESTO: TABLE 6 – RENDER 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.
