The objective of this course is to give some elementary concepts on the functioning of buildings from a structural point of view and therefore on the possible conceptual design of the project from this point of view.

Programme
The course aims to make the student aware of the problem of architectural space, gradually building up the typological, structural and aesthetic connections that define its peculiar characteristics.This process will be pursued through targeted lessons, readings of canonical examples and individual composition exercises that help to build a solid aesthetic awareness, and finally with exercises of reading of exemplary single-family houses.

In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions governing the methods of carrying out teaching activities and student evaluation will be implemented. In particular, the following methods will be applied: To take the exam remotely, in order to take the exam, the student must send the images of his project documents 7 days before the exam date, including the images of the three-dimensional model (Jpeg or Pdf format) in suitable resolution, to allow the commission to examine the documents themselves. These documents will be uploaded to your personal folder in the Google Drive space of the Design laboratory, indicating in the title of the files your initials and the word "exam" with the date of the exam (YY, month, day). The exam will take place via video conference on Microsoft Teams platform, used during the semester for lectures and reviews, and the candidate will present and discuss their project with the commission, answering the questions that the latter will ask.Attendance
Attendance is compulsory for 75% of the lesson hoursType of evaluation
In the event 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 be applied: The evaluation will refer to the technical and aesthetic quality of the architectural project, and to the candidate's ability to exhibit and interact with the commission's requests. teacher profile teaching materials
In the first half of the year, the commitment is 50 hours, dedicated to lectures, architectural visits and practical exercises of model building, drawing and design.
The course contents are proposed and verified through lectures, exercises, educational visits, individual and collective reviews. The final exam mark takes into account all the activities carried out by the student during the course, the quality of the exercises is obviously crucial in assigning the mark itself. All processing of the work is done by hand, the use of the C.A.d.
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
Area of intervention 75m x 50m, altitude 10m, making curves with cardboard from 1mm (4 curves per 1 meter of altitude) serve 40 curves to absorb the difference in height.
The volume to be inserted is a generic residential volume of 5 m for 10 m, which can be inserted as shown in the examples shown, inserting it into the ground, creating a podium, lifting it on a pilot,
or by adopting hybrid solutions.
2-Redesign and reconstruction of an architecture (group 3 people)
Analysis, technical drawing and realization of a scale model 1: 100 or 1:50 of the following residences:
Le Corbusier, Maison Guiette, Anversa, Belgio, 1927
Le Corbusier, Ville Savoye, Poissy, Francia, 1928 - 1931
Alvar Aalto Casa sperimentale a Muuratsalo, Finlandia, 1952-1954
Alberto Campo Baeza, Casa Turegano, Madrid, Spagna, 1988
Louis Kahn, Fisher House, Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA, 1960-1967
3-Building System (Individual)
Project of a small hut, up to 20 sqm, everywhere students want, in a place well known to the designer, using a single constructive system between:
reinforced concrete, brick, stone, wood, steel. Scale model 1:50, plants and sections in scale 1:50
4-Sketches and relief from true anthropometric (individual during visits)
Draw on a drawing book A5 sketches of travel, prospects, plants, sections, portraits, and assonometries, paying particular attention to the proportions of the spaces and architectural elements represented. Booklet to be delivered.

The laboratory takes place through lectures, exercises, collective and individual work reviews. In addition to the tenured professor, there are experts in the subject and doctoral students to follow the students' activities. In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions governing the methods of carrying out teaching activities and student evaluation will be implemented. In particular, the following methods will be applied: lessons and reviews via the TEAMS platform and the Moodle platform, also with the development of a web portal where students can upload all their graphic materials and related comments and explanations.Attendance
Attendance is compulsory for 75% of the lessonsType of evaluation
The work of the first semester of the laboratory is evaluated through the results of the exercises, during which the teachers analyze even if the theoretical contents presented to the students have been learned. teacher profile teaching materials
