Objectives
The course’s purpose is give to students analysis instruments about architecture in its constitutive components – function, form and technique – and show fundamental contents and conceptual links that qualify relational system. Knowledge: Knowledge of the main design methods with particular reference to residential construction. Skills: ability to read, analyze and design buildings.
Course program
Arguments: usable spaces; considerable aggregations and complexity levels; fundamental and elementary activities; spatial sizing parameters and sizing of elementary spaces. Formal definition of architecture: from starting idea to volume identification; the directing figures and congruence prin-ciple; plan modes and façade modes; primary architectural elements and basic architectural forms. Architecture and building process: operations and protagonists. The material and construction process. The construction equipment as system: from factory elements to primary matter. The con-struction process: materials workability, using materials for static safety and indoor comfort. Simple, complex and geometric – constructive principles. Teaching Methods: The course includes classroom lessons about program topics and design exercises on a specific assigned topic.
