Teaching: Architecture and architectural composition III
Module (where present, subdivision into modules): Architecture and architectural composition III + Laboratory of Architecture and architectural composition III
CFU: 9 + 3
SSD: ICAR / 14
Hours of lessons: 60
Practice hours: 60
Workshop hours: 60
Educational objectives:
The aim of the course is the acquisition and development of knowledge relating to the theory, technique and tools of architectural design of complex buildings in relation to the functional program and the articulation of spaces. Through the critical analysis of significant cases, it is intended to arrive at an in-depth cognitive framework of the fundamental issues of this thematic area of the architectural project both from the theoretical point of view and from that of the practical use of setting and verification tools.
Contents:
In order to develop in the students the ability to deal with the architectural design of complex buildings, attention will be drawn to historically emblematic cases, while, from a synchronic point of view, recent experiences in different geographical contexts will be examined with reference also to the relationships that the building it establishes with the context in which it is placed. The theme of the year will consist of the project of a complex building, both in relation to the functional program (with the presence of various public and private activities) and to the articulation of the different spaces (small, large, open, closed, unique, serial, etc.) constituting the building and its extensions in the context in which it is placed both for the construction and plant components which must be seen as closely integrated aspects of the entire design process. The design experience will be developed at the different intervention scales, addressing in particular the scales from 1: 200 to 1: 1.
