The Architecture Technology Design Studio is aimed to provide methodological and operational tools of architectural design, starting from the knowledge of the environmental and technological systems that compose the building structure.
The Studio includes three modules: the environmental system design, the technological system design, methods and tools for development, representation and communication of the project.

Learning Objectives - Last names A-D
The course aims to train the incoming student in line with the professional figure that the Degree in Architecture Sciences want to outline, ie that possessing the conceptual and operational control of the methods and tools of base needed to operate in the field of design, conducted at different scales, in the areas of architecture, construction and territory.
The course aims to contribute to the formation of a unified vision of architectural project highlighting how the technique "dimension" is an indispensable factor for the development of the work of architecture since its initial conception.
The course favors the meaning of the project as a confrontation of different skills and physical and temporal place of interdisciplinary synthesis, in which matter and form come together to complex cultural action that has as its end result the architecture. Through the experimental design the course aims to promote the acquisition of knowledge of the matter and the technique to transfer them in an form appropriate to the purpose. In this context, the course aims to educate the awareness of the "constraint" (environmental, technological, customer related) as a resource and opportunity for the project.
Prerequisites - Last names A-D
To take the exam students must have taken the exam in Materials and Constructive Elements.
Teaching Methods - Last names A-D
Teaching is based on theoretical communications (short lessons) to support the design exercises. It is structured in such a way as to give students the methodological and operational tools to design an architectural organism in all its components, taking into account the formal and expressive results, organizational ways of building cycle, the mode of selection of appropriate technologies and products to available resources and intervention purposes in accordance with the user's needs and the principles of conservation, protection and enhancement of the environment.
The design studio provides the following learning activities:
Lectures, The lectures deal with the program topics. The theoretical knowledge imparted with the lessons are subject to immediate practical use and direct application in exercises that take place simultaneously.
Exercises. Individual exercises, to be performed in the classroom, serve to gain the knowledge and the tools to use in the phase of the final project design; They are performed during the course, in particular in the first phase. The exercises are mandatory and preparatory to the final project.
Development of a project. The project is about a "simple" building through the gradual deepening of the technical choices consistent with the functional and formal aspects of an architectural work. The project can be individual or in pairs and takes place mainly in the classroom. The project must be concluded by the end of the course, regardless of the session in which you will take the exam and is regularly revised by the teacher to control the progress of work and contribute to its development.
Visits the site and /or works of architecture and architectural exhibitions (Biennale of Venice, SAIE in Bologna, etc.) in order to understand the executive issues of the technical solutions of the architectural project.

Registration. Students who wish to attend the course are required to confirm their registration by filling out the form distributed by the teacher and by registering on the web page of this course on e-learning platform of the University (http://e-l.unifi.it).
Frequency. Students are required frequency to all the activities of the Studio. The frequency will be verified through the presence of signatures in a register. Students who have achieved a frequency rate of 75% and in good standing with the delivery of the project will be able to take the exam. The rate of 75% corresponds to a maximum of 16 hours of absences on the total hours of the Studio.
Office hours. The teacher Nicoletta Setola receives students by appointment to be arranged using the following address: nicoletta.setola@unifi.it.
NB. All information regarding the Studio are disclosed during the official times or through the platform E-Learning Course.
Type of Assessment - Last names A-D
Each student will arrive to the examination with an evaluation that takes into account the educational progress and achievements in the performance of activities of the Studio. The project is evaluated according to criteria of coherence and awareness in the use of technologies and materials for the architectural outcome; quality of the project on environmental and technological aspects; completeness and correctness of representation and information content of the project.
The exam consists of a discussion on the topics proposed in the program and the result of the project. The overall assessment is done by integrating the result of the oral examination with that of the practical exercises and project.
The documentation for the exam is made up of all the products developed by the student during the Studio for different exercises and for the project.
