Programme

The contribution of the Architectural Technology module addresses the relationship between the buildingS and the environmental characteristics (geographical factors, climatic parameters, meteorological factors, topographical factors, biological factors), in order to maximize the building-environment exchanges, and minimize the use of systems.
Starting from the analysis of the geometric and localization characteristics, the module explores the elements of the building’s technological components and the relationship between typological and formal aspects and the technological and constructive choices.
By combining theoretical aspects with practical analysis, the topics will be developed through lectures, in-depth focus focused on materials and technologies, periodic reviews on the project and support for drawing the main technological details.

Type of delivery of the course

The course will be held in person, with compulsory attendance.

Attendance

The course will be held in person, with compulsory attendance.

Type of evaluation

The evaluation will be carried out on the graphic material produced for the exam and on the oral discussion which will be done starting from this material. The drawings must represent the technological choices, and contain plans and detailed sky-earth sections, on a scale of 1:50, alongside the excerpt of the corresponding elevation detail. To support the graphic material, a report must be prepared containing the environmental characteristics studies, the technological choices, the technical data sheets of the windowed components and the products used for vertical and horizontal closings, the thermohygrometric verification of a typical wall.

Programme

The aim of the course is to provide all the appropriate tools for students to manage design relations between materials, building elements, working techniques, requirements and regulations involved since the concept design.
All that fully aware of the strong link between typological-stylish features and technological-architectural ones of the building conceived as a whole of interrelated and organized parts, according to a systemic and performance design approach.

Type of delivery of the course

Lectures and student review seminars during the graphics processing both agreed with the lecturer of the Workshop.

Attendance

Attendance is compulsory for 75% of the lesson hours

Type of evaluation

For access to the final exam, the candidate must deliver: 1. Two graphic drawings in A1 format; 2. A technological catalogue. - Drawing n.1. Extract of plan in 1:50 scale accompanied by (1) dimensions, (2) structural axes, (3) codes of each technical element (walls, windows, doors,...), (4) codes and name of each room, (5) finishing coded solutions (floors, internal walls, external closures and cieling). - Drawing n.2. Vertical roof-ground section on scale and elevation, in 1:50 scale with some zooms or cross-sections of the 3 main construction nodes (ground connection - inter-floor - roof) in 1:10 -1:20 scale with indication and description of the individual functional layers. - A technology catalog.The catalog will consist of technical sheets on the systems - products - materials and solutions chosen by the group for the project, where images, assembly systems and laying diagrams, performance specifications, certificates, etc. will be reported, relating to the specifications technologies selected and used in the project. The evaluation methods will result in the evaluation of a specific graph drawn during the oral exam session.
