Building engineering-architecture

FABIO COLONNESE

The course aims specific teaching methods and tools to "read, see, draw" the architectural space in order to stimulate the geometric intuition of the student-engineer / architect and provide appropriate tools is to represent the spatial configurations that solve geometric problems and relational. To achieve this objective, the course offers the study of methods of descriptive geometry, theory of vision,of color and the basic concepts of computer design.

The course takes place in the first semester, three mornings a week.

Attendance at the workshop is mandatory. It is necessary to be present for at least 70% of the hours scheduled for the laboratory and to produce the minimum documents required and verified by the teacher. To achieve the minimum level of laboratory activities, students must have set all the required documents by the end of the course.
The exam consist in the presentation of the graphic work in the notebook, the drawings and printed sheets, and in an written/oral test on the scientific contents of the representation and on the laboratory activities carried out.
