INTRODUCTION TO TOPOLOGY AND NON EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES: SPHERIC GEOMETRIC (geodesics, difference with euclidean geometry) .
plus two TOPICS AMONG THE FOLLOWING:
1) INTRODUCTION TO PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: SOLUTION BY SEPARATION OF VARIABLES. EQUATIONS OF HARMONIC OSCILLATOR AND OF VIBRATING STRING. FIELD AND LAB: SOUNDWALKS, PROBLEMS OF REVIEW AND DOCUMENTATION OF SOUND IN PUBLIC SPACES
OR:
2) PARAMETRIC SURFACES, POINTS WITH NEGATIVE, POSITIVE OR ZERO GAUSSIAN CURVATURE. MEAN CURVATURE. INTRODUCTION TO MINIMAL SURFACES.
3) PLATONIC SOLIDS, EULER CHARACTERISTIC. FULLERENES AND GEODETIC DOMES.
GROUPS OF PLANE ISOMETRIES, GROUPS OF TRIANGULATION ON THE SPHERE, COXETER TRIANGULATIONS.
4) 2d locally euclidean geometries. groups of isometries of the plane. generators, fundamental domain. distances and geodetics. discussion of problems arising whane applying this theory to actula acrchitecture.

Type of delivery of the course

classes, recitations, hands on workshops, fieldwork

Attendance

Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lessons

Type of evaluation

Covid19: exams will only be oral exams. the oral exams evaluates noth the technical aspect and the ability to apply it, and (hopefully) the ability to manage recent scholarly literature using such language a written exam, followed by an oral arguing conversation the written is geared toward assessing the competence in a newly acquired technical language, and the abilty to apply it. The oral examination is geared toward assessing the ability to tackle and manage recent scholarly literature, in relation to stimuli spurred by the newly acquired language.
