Objectives
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED
LEARNING, THROUGH MANUALS AND THEORETICAL TREATISES AND THANKS TO REAL EXAMPLES, THE BASIC TECHNICAL METHODS AND KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND ANALYZE THE BUILDING ORGANISM – BOTH TRADITIONAL AND MODERN - FROM CONSTRUCTIVE, FUNCTIONAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW.
KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
ABILITY TO KNOWLEDGE METHODS AND TECHNIQUES IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND ANALYZE BOTH THE TRADITIONAL AND MODERN BUILDING ORGANISM, FROM CONSTRUCTIVE, FUNCTIONAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND ANALYZE AN EXISTING BUILDING, THROUGH ARCHIVAL STUDIES AND GEOMETRICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SURVEYS, BY UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE AND THE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DIFFERENT BUILDING ELEMENTS. ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEMS OF ITS ENVELOPE.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY ASSESS THE TECHNICAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BUILDINGS ALSO IN RELATION TO THE HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO WORK IN TEAM FOR THE ANALYSIS STUDIES OF AN EXISTING BUILDING OR OF PARTS OF IT AND TO HOLD CONVERSATIONS ON THE PROBLEMS INHERENT TO THE TOPICS DEALT WITH, BY USING SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY AND ADEQUATE GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION TOOLS.
LEARNING ABILITY
KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AND HOW TO INDEPENDENTLY LEARN INNOVATIONS IN THE FIELD OF CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AND BUILDING MATERIALS.
Prerequisites
BASIC KNOWLEDGE WITH REFERENCE TO THE SURVEY METHODS AND GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE TERRITORY, WHICH CAN BE ACQUIRED THROUGH THE COURSE OF DRAWING OF ARCHITECTURE I. THEREFORE, IS PRELIMINARY THE EXAMINATION OF “DRAWING OF ARCHITECTURE I”.
Contents
- INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE: DEFINITIONS AND DIMENSIONS OF ARCHITECTURE;
- BUILDING SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURE. TRADITIONAL BUILDING MATERIALS: NATURAL STONES, CLAY AND BRICKS, WOOD, MORTARS.
- TRADITIONAL BUILDING SYSTEMS: VERTICAL SUPPORTS, FOUNDATIONS, HORIZONTAL STRUCTURES, ROOFS, STAIRS. FRAMED BUILDINGS: FRAMED SYSTEMS; HORIZONTALLY RESISTANT STRUCTURES.
- FERROUS MATERIALS: IRON, CAST IRON, STEEL; MANUFACTURING PROCESSES.
- STEEL STRUCTURES: CONNECTION SYSTEMS, VERTICAL SUPPORTS AND HORIZONTAL STRUCTURES, PORTALS; RUST PROTECTION, FIRE PROTECTION; MANUFACTURING PROCESSES.
THE CEMENT-CONCRETE: COMPONENTS; FRESH CONCRETE AND HARDENED CONCRETE; ADDITIVES; DOSING AND MIXING; CASTING AND CURING.
- REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS: REINFORCED CONCRETE; VERTICAL SUPPORTS AND HORIZONTAL STRUCTURES, FRAMES, EXPANSION JOINTS;
- PRESTRESSED CONCRETE, PRECAST REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS.
- STEEL AND REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDING ELEMENTS: FOUNDATIONS, FLOORS, STAIRS, BORDER ELEMENTS.
- TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF AN EXISTING BUILDING: HISTORICAL AND ARCHIVAL RESEARCH; PHOTOGRAPHIC, GEOMETRIC, TECHNOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL SURVEY; GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION; ELABORATION OF SIMPLIFIED MODELS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS.
Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS AND EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM. THE THEORETICAL LESSONS LEAD TO A READING OF TECHNOLOGY, THROUGH THE COGNITIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESSES OF CONSTRUCTION. IN THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES THE STUDENTS, DIVIDED BY WORK GROUPS, ARE ASSIGNED A THEME TO BE DEVELOPED, ALSO THROUGH EXTERNAL INSPECTIONS. THE THEME INCLUDES ALL THE TEACHING CONTENTS AND CONSISTS OF THE HISTORICAL, GEOMETRICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF AN EXISTING BUILDING, THROUGH THE ELABORATION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS AND GRAPHIC TABLES AND ANY SIMPLIFIED MODELS.
ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. IN ORDER TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE TEACHING HOURS. THE MODE OF VERIFICATION OF PRESENCE IS GENERALLY ELECTRONIC OR MADE BY THE TEACHER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LESSONS.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM IS TO ASSESS THE STUDENT’S ABILITY TO LEARN THE BASIC CONTENTS OF THE COURSE. THE VOTE, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS WITH POSSIBLE PRAISE, WILL DEPEND ON THE MATURITY ACQUIRED IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPOSURE. IT WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH AN ORAL INTERVIEW AIMED AT ASCERTAINING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT ON THE CONTENT, AS WELL AS VERIFYING THE ABILITY TO TELL BY USING APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO AUTONOMOUSLY ORGANIZE THE EXHIBITION.
THE INTERVIEW CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: A) AND B)
PART A) PROPOSES THEORETICAL QUESTIONS ON ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND ON THE RECOMMENDED BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES, AS WELL AS ON VISITS, INSPECTIONS AND ANY SEMINARS CARRIED OUT.
PART B) PROPOSES THE DISCUSSION OF THE PROJECT, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL, ARCHITECTURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS.
FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE PRAISE WE WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:
- THE QUALITY OF THE EXHIBITION, IN TERMS OF USING APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE
- THE QUALITY OF THE DRAWINGS
- THE ABILITY OF CROSS-CORRELATION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE COURSE
- OF THE AUTONOMY OF PROVEN JUDGMENT.

DURING THE COURSE IT IS POSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT A PARTIAL TEST, ONLY AFTER HALF OF THE LESSONS AND AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER, WHICH WILL WEIGH 50% ON THE FINAL GRADE. THE EVALUATION OF THE TEST WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS. IF THE FINAL SCORE IS HIGHER THAN 18/30 THE STUDENT, AT THE FINAL INTERVIEW, CAN BE CONSIDERED EXONERATED FROM THE DISCUSSION ON THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE FIRST SEMESTER. THE EXONERATION WILL BE VALID EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE EXAMINATION SESSION FOLLOWING THAT OF THE TEACHING.
