Educational objectives The teaching is aimed to transmit the fundamental principles of design and survey with the aim of providing the student's curriculum with indepth critical knowledge aimed at fostering the development of design as a form of universal language, as a form of thought, both in the project activity and in the survey activity, aimed at the realization of a project consistently with the contents of the Degree Course (Interior design/Retail design/Exhibit design/Product design). In this sense, the course aims to provide the thematic elements and operational methodologies both to transpose the forms of the entities (real and/or invention) in the multiple two-dimensional representations and to understand the three-dimensionality of the forms of the entities (real and/or invention) through the reading of their two-dimensional representations, in order to allow the management, conceptual and cognitive, of the processes of transformation and/or conservation of reality.
Prerequisites None
Teaching methods The course is organized in frontal theoretical lessons, in ex tempore tests for the practical-applicative verification of theoretical themes, in supplementary seminars of a specialized nature, in an individual theme of the year agreed with the teacher, in individual research of the student.
Other information -
Learning verification modality The exam is taken with an individual oral discussion about the theoretical contents of the didactic program, presented during the frontal lessons, and about the practical contents of the ex tempore tests and an individual work assigned by the lecturer dedicated to a design theme also in its possible interdisciplinary relationship with art and design. These tests are aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and ability to understand as well as the synthesis achieved by the student.
Extended program The teaching is aimed at conveying the fundamental principles of drawing and survey aimed at the realization of an Interior design/Retail design/Exhibit design/Product design project.
The course is divided into the following teaching units.
Elements of the history of technical and design drawing;
Elementary geometric constructions;
Orthogonal parallel projections (axonometry, Monge's method and dimensioned projections);
Oblique parallel projections (the axonometry);
Central projections ( the perspective);
Geometric curves (the conics);
Institutional forms of design drawing (plan, section, elevation);
Metric scales of reduction and enlargement;
UNI standards for technical drawing;
Executive technical drawing;
Elements of the history of surveying;
Surveying purposes, methods and techniques.
