Architectural Drawing and LAB IModule Architectural Drawing I
Academic Year 2026/2027 - Teacher: GIUSEPPE DI GREGORIOExpected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding: the student will understand the principles of orthographic projections, sections, axonometric projections, and perspective projections as applied to architectural elements such as roofs, staircases, and vaults.
Applying knowledge and understanding: the student will be able to use graphic techniques to produce and manage plans, elevations, sections, axonometric views, graphic constructions, surface intersections, etc. They will be able to interpret and represent architectural elements in both 2D and 3D.
Course Structure
Teaching takes place through frontal theoretical lessons that are composed of explanatory graphic constructions. The student is required to draw in the classroom, in some personal graphic tables, what the teacher shows in the lessons. The process takes place under the supervision of the teacher. At the end of the lesson the work carried out is delivered to the teacher who checks the degree of advancement, then the graphic tvaola is returned during the course of the lesson. The student then must eventually complete the graphic table.
Required Prerequisites
Detailed Course Content
Orthogonal projections (generality, P.O of the point, of the line and of the plane, of objects ...)
Axonometric projections
Orthogonal and axonometric projections of: barrel vaulting, cross vaulting, sailing, mirroring even with intersections of objects.
Roof geometry (plans, elevations and sections)
The representation of a vertical connection: the stairs.
The representation scales.
Interpreting contemporary architecture through the practical application of graphic representations.
The perspective
