TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE II AND LABORATORY M - Z

Module LABORATORY OF TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE II

The aim of the teaching is to enable students to acquire the useful tools for addressing and solving typological, distributive and technological problems that underlie architectural design and, in particular, the design of the building organism and its surroundings. The analysis is both environmental and technological for the satisfaction of user needs, made explicit in requirements and evaluated in terms of the performance of the very technical elements that constitute and govern the built form. The lectures, laboratory and exercises will address the different issues of building design from the scale of the building to that of the construction detail, with particular attention to buildings with mixed use (multifamily residences and tertiary activity), inclusive design and environmental sustainability. The knowledge acquired during the course will enable students to have a design approach that is attentive to both the health and well-being of users and to energy conservation and conscious consumption of resources, in accordance with Goals 3, 11, 12 and 13 of Agenda 2030.

The teaching will be carried out through lectures on theoretical topics and practical design exercises. The design exercises will take place in groups. Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus. The attendance is mandatory. Students are asked to be present at least at 70% of lessons. Professor let it self free to decide to verify the frequency of the students in the classroom.

Knowledge of the conformation of building and construction elements. Thorough knowledge of techniques and methods of representation. Capacity to elaborate an architectural project. Capacity to elaborate an executive project. Knowledge of the fundamentals of technical physics.

Attendance is compulsory. Students are required to attend at least 70% of the course lectures. At the teacher's discretion, student attendance will be verified during lectures by roll call or signature collection.
