Programme

The aim of the Building Technology Module 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.
To this end, the program is divided into three parts:
1_in the first part, and with reference to examples of contemporary architecture, the main technological solutions are examined with particular attention to structural elements (foundations, vertical and horizontal structures, floors) and envelope;
2 in the second part, manufacturers of building components will be asked to illustrate to the students the technical characteristics useful for the elaboration of the design project;
3_the third part will be dedicated to design project reviews.

Type of delivery of the course

The Architectural Construction Laboratory deals with in-depth design of the main elements of a building (structure, opaque and transparent, horizontal and vertical envelope) through the study of case studies, the comparison and evaluation of alternative technological solutions, the representation in detail of the most significant elements of the project. To this aim the Laboratory is organized in: lessons (knowledge and understanding); classroom exercises, related to the lesson (practical application); on-site exercises (direct experience at the training site of the Training Center for Building Masters in Pomezia).

Attendance

Participation in the Laboratory requires attendance, with attendance of no less than 75%. The presence will be recorded in the classroom by signing or elaboration on the exercise linked to the lesson of the day.

Type of evaluation

The evaluation during the exam will consider the evaluations obtained during the Laboratory and will take place with a discussion on the drawings presented and on the technical contents of the Laboratory. Required documents: General project with plans, sections and elevations on a scale appropriate to the size of the building and, in any case, not less than 1: 200; detail sections in scale from 1:50 to 1: 5; comparative tables of alternative and design technological solutions.

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.
