Objectives
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND COMPETENCE TO BE ACQUIRED:
KNOWLEDGE OF METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR UNDERSTANDING AND ANALYZING A
BUILDING ORGANISM FROM THE COMPOSITIONAL, CONSTRUCTIVE, FUNCTIONAL AND
OF MATERIALS, AIMED AT THE ABILITY TO REPURPOSE AND REWORK SUCH
METHODS AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE CONTEXT OF BUILDING DESIGN.
ACQUISITION OF THE ABILITY TO EXPRESS IN GRAPHIC TERMS, THE ELEMENTS
CHARACTERIZING THE BUILDING ORGANISM.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS:
UNDERSTAND THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE CONTEXT OF MODELS
CONCEPTUAL, LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL BUILDING, THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THE
ARCHITECTURAL GRAPHIC LANGUAGE AND DESIGN METHODOLOGIES.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
TO KNOW HOW TO DEVELOP GRAPHIC MODELS AND REPORTS FOR THE ANALYSIS, READING AND STUDY
OF SPATIAL SOLUTIONS AND BUILDING TECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE PROCESSES
COGNITIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE OF COMPOSING AND BUILDING, AS WELL AS OF THE
PROBLEMS RELATED TO BUILDING DESIGN.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT:
KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR UNDERSTANDING AND RENDERING IN
GRAPHIC FORM THE COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERS AND CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS AT THE VARIOUS
SCALES OF REPRESENTATION, OPTIMIZING THE PROCESS IN RELATION TO THE THEME
ASSIGNMENT.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
TO KNOW HOW TO WORK IN A GROUP AND PRESENT ORALLY AND GRAPHICALLY A
TOPIC RELATED TO THE TOPICS COVERED DURING TEACHING.
LEARNING SKILLS:
TO KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AND TO BE ABLE TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION FIELD.
Prerequisites
THE FOLLOWING ARE REQUIRED FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE STATED OBJECTIVES
BASIC KNOWLEDGE WITH REFERENCE TO THE METHODS OF GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF
BUILDING ARTIFACTS PROPER TO TECHNICAL DRAWING

Teaching Methods
THEORETICAL LECTURES
IN THE THEORETICAL LECTURES (TOTAL OF 48 HOURS) WILL BE PRESENTED THE TOPICS
GIVEN IN THE "COURSE CONTENTS" SECTION.
ATTENDANCE AT THE COURSE IS MANDATORY FOR A PERCENTAGE OF 75%
THE MODE OF VERIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE IS GENERALLY ELECTRONIC,
I.E. MADE KNOWN BY THE LECTURER AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES IS MADE
BY MEANS OF A FINAL ORAL EXAMINATION COVERING THE THEORETICAL TOPICS OF THE
LESSONS
ASSESSMENT IS UNIQUE AND WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS ACHIEVED BETWEEN MOD.1 AND
MOD.2. AND IS EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF HONORS WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:
- THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF TECHNICAL LANGUAGE
APPROPRIATE;
- THE ABILITY TO CROSS-CORRELATE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE
COURSE AND, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITH OTHER DISCIPLINES;
- OF THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT DEMONSTRATED.
