The previous Courses in Architecture and Architectural Design I

Conventional

The Laboratory aims to implement, through
exercises, the theoretical lessons learned during the
connected course, related to the distribution and
functional aspects of one or more buildings of
collective character. The students have to apply
disciplines of the area of representation and of the
survey, of architectural design and restoration area,
urban area, area of building production and building
technologies to obtain a complete comprehension of
the whole process of the urban and architectonic
design.

To apply the concepts the starting point consists in
the interpretation of the environment, intended as a
guideline for the design development, both in the
case you have to intervene on a free area or to
reconfigure an existing building. This ability will be
carried on through design exercises, aimed at
studying the types of public and private buildings in
which the interdependences between the building
and the city are clear, as well as the ones connected
to the landscape and urban green.

Each working group will have to develop a different
project, developing all the issues, and present it
through technical drawings or renders. This will
allows the student to improve his ability to
communicate originating from the team-working, as
well as his ability to learn and get the proper
conclusions.
The teaching of the laboratory activity is related with
the disciplines of Architecture and Art, History,
Rapresentation, Survey, Architectural and
Engineering design.

Through the analysis of the different architectural components of the building, to develop the student's sensitivity, exercises will be developed during the entire course. At the same time, the student will produce a major project that will be reviewed and supervised during the lab until the exam.
The inputs that will be offered to students concern the ability of the building and its components to become sustainable and to interfere with the specific environmental conditions of the context.
