The course is aimed at studying and analysis of curves and surfaces in plane and in space as mathematical models of architectural elements. To learn, applying to different case studies, the differential properties of parametric curves and surfaces and their composition in a virtual model. By modelling you it is possible to process a thorough analysis of the architectural structure functional to several interventions in the field of restoration.

This course will be divided into two sections, theoretical and practice. The first one is made with frontal lessons the second one is made by practical work. Mandatory attendance policy: the student is supposed to maintain an attendance of 75% in this course.Type of evaluation
Oral exam with discussion on the exercises conducted during the course. In the case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.
