Educational objectives The course has set itself the objective of providing students with the tools to control the modifications of architectural systems simple.The course aims to provide students with the following knowledge.1. Knowledge of traditional design techniques.2. Knowledge of innovative design techniques.The course aims to provide students with the following skills.1. Know how to apply the techniques in the control of traditional design modifications of architectural systems simple.2. Know how to apply the innovative design techniques in the control of the modifications of architectural systems simple.
Prerequisites Basic knowledge of architecture drawing and architecture history.
Teaching methods Theoretical lessons in the classroom on the topics of teaching supplemented by specialized seminars. Periodic reviews processing project in the classroom.
Other information None.
Learning verification modality The exam consists of an individual oral test and the presentation of a project realized in a group. The test aims at assuring the level of knowledge and understanding, as well as synthesis, achieved by the student.
Extended program The course, which is supplemented by seminar initiatives aimed at deepening the concept of architectural design as a system of theoretical-critical than technical and scientific need for understanding and transformation of the physical space, is divided into lectures and exercises in a project.The lectures are divided into three training units: the theoretical framework (elementary principles), themes (layouts conventional), the new themes (layouts unconventional). The tutorial project covers a topic at the building assigned by the teacher.

Contents Lectures and exercises will deal with the following issues: drawing and design, the courtyard as an element generator of architecture and the Mediterranean city, the type, the character, architectural models (from 0 to 3D), the space, the references (some Master of Architecture), and from reference to design.

Educational objectives The laboratory aims at providing methods and interpretative-evaluative strategies for developing design skills at different scales through the control of compositional techniques and increasing knowledge of settlement and environmental dynamics in different contexts.
Prerequisites Basic knowledge of architectural drawing and history.
Teaching methods The educational activity includes lectures, guided exercises, revisions, and moments sharing the various work steps of students. Both individual and collective revisions are expected, with the participation of all the students and professors of the course.
Lectures will deal with architectural and urban composition, with a specific focus on the compositional processes related to the existing. The course will be supplemented by specialization seminars aimed at delving deeper into the various design issues as a system of theoretical-critical knowledge and techniques required for understanding and transforming space and city.
Other information None.
Learning verification modality The exam is preceded by the evaluation of the practical individual and/or group exercises, which are mandatory to take the exam. It consists of an oral test dedicated to the presentation of the teaching path carried out during the various exercise activities, referring to the texts suggested, and the theoretical references studied.
Extended program The course is organized into various activities: lectures, some of which are by invited professors; extempore exercises; in-situ exercises (outside of the classroom); laboratorial activities in the classroom; collective corrections and revisions. To carry out all these laboratorial activities, students need to have the right tools for hand-drawing and realizing models.
The laboratory aims to give the students the basic tools for starting a design process in its analytical, interpretive, and compositional aspects. Therefore, the following issues will be addressed: analysis as a design, through the toll of drawing; the generator elements of architecture and city, in particular the relationship between full and empty space; the notion of "type" and "character"; from plan and section (2d) to the idea of space (3d), with the help of models; from references to design.
Each topic will be addressed through conveniently organized lectures, exercises, and collective revisions.
