ARCHITETTURA TECNICA I E LABORATORIO ARCHITETTURA TECNICA I A - L

Module ARCHITETTURA TECNICA I

Knowledge of usual engineering techniques for the construction of civil engineering works. 

Design of detail through the use of traditional and innovative materials.

Focus on the techniques of graphic representation of architectural projects.

The teaching will be carried out through frontal lessons. If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote mode, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to comply with the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.

5 hours a week.

1. Overview

     1.1 The material and the construction process.

     1.2 The geometric-constructive principles.

     1.3 Construction systems in wood, reinforced concrete, steel, reinforced masonry.

2. Building material: wood, stone materials, ceramic materials, bricks, binders, mortars, plasters, concrete, steel, aluminum, waterproofing sheaths, glass, ordinary and prestressed reinforced concrete, flooring , thermal insulators.

3. The composition of the construction equipment

     3.1 The external vertical closures. The walls, door and window compartments, finishing works, coatings, windows and glass walls. Moisture protection, thermal and acoustic insulation.

    3.2 The horizontal cover closures. Flat roofs: slope patterns, stratifications, water disposal systems, construction details. Pitched roofs: pitch geometry, Lombard warping, Piedmontese warping, trusses, water disposal systems, roofing, construction details. The vaulted roofs: annular barrel, sail, pavilion, cross, barrel with straw head.

   3.3. The intermediate horizontal closures. The floors: in wood, iron, brick, reinforced concrete. The design of the carpentry. The analysis of loads and the regulations for the calculation.

  3.4. Basic horizontal closures. Foundation structures, soil and permissible pressures, continuous foundations, discontinuous foundations, indirect foundations. The design of the carpentry. The analysis of loads and the regulations for the calculation. Protection from moisture.

  3.5 The internal vertical partitions. Fixed and mobile partitions, equipped walls, finishing works, internal doors and windows.

  3.6 Elements of vertical communication. The external stairs: frontal, parallel, with curved ramps. The internal stairs: straight, core, pit, pincer, circular, elliptical. The design of the stairs, the offset of the steps, the supporting structure.

OTHER ACTIVITIES: the course includes various seminars and educational visits.

• E. Mandolesi, Edilizia, Vol. I, II, III, IV, Torino, UTET, 1991.
• S. I. Colombini, Lezioni di Architettura Tecnica, Catania, IDAU, 1979.
• L. Caleca, Architettura Tecnica, Palermo, FLACCOVIO ED., 1992.
• S. Cascone, Finestre e pareti vetrate, Roma, GANGEMI ED., 1996.
• E. Dassori, R. Morbiducci, Costruire l'architettura, BEMA, 2011.

The student will be required to know the building materials covered in the program and to draw up some detailed drawings of some parts of the building factory.

The final evaluation will take into account both the acquired knowledge and the candidate's communication skills.
