21002098 - TECHNICAL PHYSICS

The course aims to address the issue of sizing and insertion of technological systems (thermal, electrical, lighting and special systems) in situations where the protection of cultural heritage is of primary importance. The theme of light is also addressed as a narrative element, to be used for the development and the correct interpretation of the architectural, from a morphological, typological and historical profile.

Programme

Technical Physics class is focused on lighting design concepts for highlight and conservation of historical buildings, monuments and archeological areas. Rules and project methods in indoor and outdoor environment will be improved, also considering needs for new activities. Lighting projects will be developed, respecting historical, architectural, constructive aspects of buildings. A particular attention will be dedicated to surrounding, energy saving and environment conservation. Class will be organized in 3 phases:
1. Lighting Design Foundamentals
2. Case history
3. Project development according with conceptual aspects derivated by Restauration teaching

Type of delivery of the course

Lectures In field of Protected building reuse and enhancement are provided. Lighting is studied as a mean for enhancement and story telling. International case studies are analyzed. A workshop is developed coupling with restauration classes. Lighting experimentations are developed in Technical Physics and Technology Lab.

Attendance

mandatory attendance for 75%

Type of evaluation

Oral exam and lighting project evaluation. The project is based on prof. Pugliano theme and is developed at executive level. The evaluation is based on the quality of the concept and on the documentation completeness.
