Objectives
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED:
LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF DIGITAL REPRESENTATION THROUGH THE USE OF COMPUTER TOOLS AND DEDICATED 3D MODELING SOFTWARE.
ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO READ, INTERPRET AND TRANSLATE INTO INFOGRAPHIC MODELS THE MAIN CURVES, SOLIDS AND COMPLEX GEOMETRIC SURFACES THAT CHARACTERIZE THE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE; ACQUIRE THE BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE TREATMENT OF DIGITAL IMAGES; ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF DIGITAL GRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE REALIZATION, VISUALIZATION, PRESENTATION, COMMUNICATION OF A GRAPHIC PROJECT.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
UNDERSTAND THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE MODELS DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED WITH 3D DIGITAL REPRESENTATION SYSTEMS, THE METHODOLOGIES USED AND THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF ARCHITECTURAL INFOGRAPHIC LANGUAGE.


ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
KNOW HOW TO ELABORATE, ACCORDING TO CONVENTIONAL CODED STANDARDS, IMAGES AND DIGITAL MODELS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE; KNOW HOW TO INTEGRATE TWO-DIMENSIONAL DATA WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL AND ALPHANUMERIC DATA.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE AND DIGITAL REPRESENTATION METHODS FOR THE FIGURATION OF COMPLEX ARCHITECTURAL SPACES, OPTIMIZING THE REPRESENTATION PROCESS ACCORDING TO THE CONTEXT UNDER EXAMINATION.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
TO KNOW HOW TO WORK IN A GROUP AND TO EXPOSE ORALLY AND GRAPHICALLY A TOPIC RELATED TO THE TOPICS DEALT WITH.

ABILITY TO LEARN
KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW HOW TO REWORK IT AUTONOMOUSLY FOR THE DEFINITION OF NEW FORMS.
Prerequisites
PREREQUISITES: KNOWLEDGE OF THE ELEMENTS AND REGULATIONS OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES.
PREPARATION: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II
Contents
IMAGE REPRESENTATION: RASTER IMAGES, IMAGE RESOLUTION, COLOR DEPTH, IMAGE COMPRESSION, COMPRESSION FORMATS (5 HOURS LESSON); USE OF SOFTWARE FOR PROCESSING AND MANAGEMENT OF DIGITAL IMAGES (4 HOURS LESSON, 6 HOURS CLASSROOM EXERCISES). FUNDAMENTALS OF DIGITAL MODELING (4 HOURS LESSON; 2 HOURS CLASSROOM EXERCISES, 3 HOURS WORKSHOP). MODELLING TECHNIQUES AND OPERATING PROCEDURES (4 HOURS LESSON; 2 HOURS CLASSROOM EXERCISES, 3 HOURS WORKSHOP).
THE STATE OF THE ART OF BIM AND THE INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN SOFTWARE IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT AND IDENTIFICATION OF CASE STUDIES (5 HOURS OF LESSON).
INTRODUCTION TO PARAMETRIC MODELING IN THE ARCHITECTURAL FIELD (GRAPHIC INTERFACE, TEMPLATE, CORRELATION BETWEEN GRAPHICAL, NUMERICAL AND TABULAR INFORMATION, CUSTOMIZATION OF EXISTING LIBRARIES AND CREATION OF NEW LIBRARIES, ETC.) AND APPLICATION TO THE ASSIGNED CASE STUDY (4 HOURS LESSON; 6 CLASSROOM EXERCISES). COMMUNICATION OF PROJECT DATA: GRAPHIC DATA AND USE OF TEMPLATES (2 HOURS LESSON, 4 HOURS CLASSROOM EXERCISES, 4 HOURS WORKSHOP)
Teaching Methods
TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (3 CFU), CLASSROOM EXERCISES (2 CFU) AND WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES (1 CFU). DURING THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DEVELOP GRAPHS RELATED TO THE TOPICS ILLUSTRATED DURING THE THEORETICAL LESSONS. IN THE WORKSHOPO THEY HAVE TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN DIGITAL MODELING.
COURSE ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY: THE MINIMUM PERCENTAGE OF ATTENDANCE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE EXAM IS 70% (AS PER CDS TEACHING REGULATIONS). THE TEACHER WILL VERIFY THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE REQUIRED PERCENTAGE OF PRESENCES THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC SURVEY.
Verification of learning
THE LEARNING VERIFICATION OF THE RESULTS ACHIEVED IS CARRIED OUT BY MEANS OF A FINAL TEST. IT CONSISTS OF AN ELABROATION OFA AN INFOGRAPHIC MODELLING AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW, SCHEDULED STARTING FROM THE END OF THE DIDACTIC ACTIVITIES: THIS INVOLVES THE DISCUSSION OF THE GRAPHIC WORKS AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE TOPICS OF THE THEORETICAL LESSONS.
DURING THE INTERVIEW THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE LANGUAGE AT THE BASIS OF INFOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION AND TO KNOW HOW TO ELABORATE, ACCORDING TO CONVENTIONAL CODED STANDARDS, DIGITAL MODELS OF COMPLEX FORMS THROUGH DEDICATED SOFTWARE. THE STUDENT MUST ALSO DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF THE METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFOGRAPHIC MODELS, ALSO WITH REFERENCE TO THE BIM METHODOLOGIES, INTEGRATING TWO-DIMENSIONAL, THREE-DIMENSIONAL AND ALPHANUMERIC DATA AND ARRIVING AT ILLUSTRATIVE REPRESENTATIONS OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE. FINALLY, IT MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT IT HAS ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE OF DIGITAL GRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE CREATION, VISUALIZATION, PRESENTATION AND COMMUNICATION OF A GRAPHIC PROJECT.
THE LEVEL OF EVALUATION OF THE TESTS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE RELEVANCE OF THE METHODS USED, THE COMPLETENESS AND ACCURACY OF THE ANSWERS, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO PRESENT ORALLY AND GRAPHICALLY EXAMPLES RELATED TO THE TOPICS COVERED.
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (18) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT HAS A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ONLY RELATED TO BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF THE VARIOUS TOPICS COVERED AND HAS A KNOWLEDGE OF METHODS AND INFOGRAPHIC PROCEDURES CORRESPONDING TO THE MINIMUM ELEMENTS FOR DIGITAL PROCESSING.
THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (30) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPOSED GRAPHIC METHODS AND PROCEDURES, AND IS ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS FACED, ARRIVING IN AN EFFICIENT AND GRAPHICALLY ACCURATE WAY AT THE SOLUTION, SHOWING A FULL ABILITY TO APPLY IN PRACTICE THE THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS DEALT WITH DURING THE COURSE.
THE LODE IS AVAILABLE WHEN THE STUDENT PROVIDES AN ABSOLUTE PATRONANCE OF THEORICAL AND APPLICATIVE CONTENTS, THE CAPABILITY TO CORRELATE THE DIFFERENT ARGOMENTS TREATED IN A TRANSVERSAL MANIER, AND IS ABLE TO PRESENT TOPICS WITH REMARKABLE LANGUAGE PROPERTIES, BEING ABLE TO ELABORATE DIGITAL MODELS AUTONOMOUSLY EVEN WITH REFERENCE TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS NOT DEALT WITH BY THE TEACHER.
THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT DEMONSTRATED IS ALSO ASSESSED.
