B026325 - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO IV

italian

Main subjects dealt by the course are about the constituent logics on which the architectural designing is based and the connection between the architectural entity and its contest.
By suggesting examples of historical, modern and contemporary
 architectures , classes will deal with the themes of plan, section, front, principle of settlement, feature, place, landscape.

The course aims to provide students with the knowledge of the composition of the governing and main design tools.
Theoretical lessons and practical applications offer the student an educational approach route to design reflection in a historic consolidated context.

The basic knowledge of the discipline of architectural and urban composition and of the history of architecture is considered necessary, as well as the basics of technical and freehand and computer drawing (cad, modeling and post production programs).

The course includes lectures and laboratory activities in the classroom during which the student will be followed by the teacher with collective and individual reviews.
In the lectures, to support the design activity, topics concerning the compositional logic that underlie architectural design will be discussed.

During the lessons will be provided further bibliography on the topics covered.

The project can be tackled individually or in groups of up to two components. It is required to bring all the material produced (study sketches, drawings, study models) to the reviews and it is mandatory to review all the exam papers before the appeal. The exam papers must be delivered in digital format on a CD on which the following must be indicated: course year, name of the student, telephone number, list of papers. Detailed information on the exam topic will be communicated during the year. Required documents: Planimetry, Detailed planivolumetric, Plans of all levels, Sections, Elevations, Perspective views, Models and Project Report

The laboratory includes lectures and laboratory activities. In the lectures, the main topics covered by the course concern the compositional logic that underlies architectural design and the relationship between architectural organism and context. The lessons, proposing examples of historical, modern and contemporary architecture, will address the themes of the plan, the section, the elevation, the settlement principle, character, place, landscape. Through cross-sectional readings we will try to find long-lasting compositional laws, starting from which the discipline of the project can be renewed.
