21002034-2 - ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGY

Among the first tasks, so that the project has completed development, you have to know what a "Feasibility Study". It aims to verify the general assumptions and conditions of the context in which it intends to develop the project initiative. To it, then, the task of building a framework for the subsequent need for further study. The areas of the Feasibility Study will include:
• technical feasibility;
• environmental compatibility;
• financial sustainability;
• economic and social convenience;
• Risk and sensitivity analysis (possible changes);
• implementation procedures.

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.

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.
