In the second semester, the didactic foundation of the design excercise is based on the principle of indissolubility between program, aesthetic formative intention, tectonics, matter and location.

This process will be pursued through lessons focused on comparative readings of important architectural works, composition exercises that allow to build a solid aesthetic awareness and to manage the rules of aggregation and manipulation of forms and space. To these will be added exercises of redesign and interpretation of exemplary single-family houses and an initial design experimentation centered on the definition of a minimal living space.

Programme
The course aims to make the student aware of the problem of the shape of the architectural space, gradually building the typological, structural and aesthetic connections that define its peculiar characteristics.This process will be pursued through lessons focused on comparative readings of important architectural works, composition exercises that allow to build a solid aesthetic awareness and to manage the rules of aggregation and manipulation of forms and space. To these will be added exercises of redesign and interpretation of exemplary single-family houses and an initial design experimentation centered on the definition of a minimal living space.

La bellezza come funzione, Corraini, Mantova, 1991.Type of delivery of the course
The course aims to introduce the student to the problems of the built architectural space, developing awareness of the unity of the constructive, typological, technological and aesthetic aspects of the architectural organism. Theoretical lessons and individual application exercises, in the classroom, will alternate and integrate during the semester to consolidate this awareness.Type of evaluation
The admission to the applicative part of the course requires the delivery and discussion of the exercises of analysis, composition and introduction to the project carried out during the first semester. 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.
