- Contents
- The course content is divided into three teaching units.

- The course is aimed at conveying to the student the knowledge in the management of languages, techniques and conventions for the representation of the project, in the different application fields consistent with the aims of the degree course (from the interior architectural space to the environment and territory, from the scale of the building to the scale of the object and artefact). Specifically, the student will learn to historically place languages, conventions and modes of transmission of project contents, applying these tools to the multiple representation of the same project theme, declined according to purpose.
- Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of representation and modelling in a digital environment.
- Teaching methods
- The course consists of theoretical lessons, practical exercises and a project representation topic.
In the theoretical lessons, the contents of the three teaching units will be conveyed.
In the practical exercises, the students will be assigned analyses of project works realised by architects from the historical and contemporary scenario.
In the topic of project representation each student will be assigned an author's building, which will have to be represented in different languages according to the communicative purposes. - Other information

- Learning verification modality
- The exam is conducted by means of an individual oral discussion that concerns both the theoretical contents of the lesson programme presented during the teaching, and the practical contents of the assigned practical exercises, with particular reference to a project representation theme carried out using different graphic languages in relation to the communicative purpose. The discussion is aimed at verifying the level of knowledge, comprehension and communication skills achieved by the student.
- Extended program
- The course content is divided into three teaching units.
- Pre-digital representation. The traditional tools and techniques of project representation. Analogical drawing in the ideational phase (freehand sketching) and in the representation phase (technical project drawing).
- Digital representation. Digital tools for project representation. Drawing and modelling in the CAD environment; digital representation techniques; rendering.
- Post-digital representation. Graphic languages for project representation: digital illustration, photocollage, photomontage, mapping and layering.
The topics of graphic conventions for project representation and graphic languages for project representation are also covered.
