The design studio’s goals for the building construction design are to increase the students awareness of the complex transformation process of an architectural idea in a real building. The student competence to create coherence regarding content and design subject is our main aims.

In particular, the program that will be carried out during the course and which will be the subject of discussion during the final exam is structured as follows:
1. Verification of the choices defined during the course of the 1M Lab, in relation to the overall design evolution, with particular reference to the following points:
2. Sizing / verification of the dimensions of the glass surfaces in 2 environments (one, to represent the large spaces that characterize the common environments, one, the private space of the rooms) through the method of calculating the daylight factor.
3. Approximate calculation of summer and winter heat loads and ventilation requirements; verification of compliance with current regulations regarding the containment of energy consumption
4. Location and approximate dimensioning of the technological plants: thermal power plant, refrigeration plant, environments that contain the air treatment units.
5. Distribution diagram of air channels and their dimensioning limited to the critical path (longer and more articulated path)
6. Acoustic design of 2 rooms (one large space that characterizes the common areas, and a second one that represents the private space of the rooms)
7. Passive fire prevention design: identification of escape routes, emergency exits, compartmentalization
8. Concept design of the artificial lighting system, as one of the elements characterizing the style and atmosphere of the hotel, in relation to the target audience of reference
9. Building Automation (domotics) for rooms and common areas
