Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students the basic knowledge about the "making material and operational" of the architecture. Teaching has therefore for object communication / learning of principles, concepts, rules of art, scientific and technical knowledge which help to define the effective and efficient construct ability of architectural work and that, even in the mid-nineteenth century, were included under the name of "Art of Building".

Educational objectives

The main objective of this course is to introduce to fluid properties, fluid flow behavior at rest and in motion. The fundamental equations for one-dimensional steady flows will be derived first, and then they will be applied to the study of simple pipe and open-channel flows systems.
Knowledge and understanding: description and characterization of the fluid (water) behavior in static and dynamic conditions;
Applying knowledge and understanding: understand and characterize the environment in its hydraulic aspects; learn how describe the hydraulics of an area of interest;
Making judgements: carry out exercises and activities in group and/or individually;
Communication skills: learn how to frame a specific problem and the possible solutions;
Learning skills: we expect the student will be able to manage the fluid flow description both in its theoretical and practical aspects; a basic knowledge in hydraulics is fundamental in several courses of Master degree.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide the fundamental knowledge relating to territorial, urban and environmental planning and management in consideration of the more general sustainability objectives, as well as to develop (in addition to the technical specifications of analysis, design and management in the environmental, urban and territorial fields) a mastery of urban and environmental planning approaches and methodologies, with particular reference to the perspectives of participatory planning, local development and sustainable development, but above all with particular regard to the specific situation of internal areas, i.e. those territories characterized by high degrees of naturalness, low anthropic density (and depopulation trends), dispersed settlements and lower availability of services, but which in any case are characterized by important potential to be exploited.

Educational objectives

Knowledge of the major hydraulic constructions including aqueducts, sewers, river protections and works to capture fresh water.

Educational objectives

The link between the morphological characteristics of urban contexts and Public Health is a highly topical aspect, given the phenomenon of urbanization that characterizes contemporary society. Health is not only a specifically health problem, but a priority strongly influenced by the environmental and urban context and by strategies implemented by local government. Urban transportation is one example of how local policies can influence health and environmental sustainability.

Educational objectives of the course

• To know the environmental factors that influence human health, with particular reference to the built environment.
• To know how epidemiologic studies can help to quantify health risks related to environmental factors.
• To understand how performing a health impact assessment through the analysis of case studies
• To evaluate the health benefits of the application of healthy building and urban design good practices
• To know strategic urban planning actions on large and small scale able to improve population health and wellness, with particular reference to transport policies.
• To understand the potential in terms of health risk reduction and environmental benefits that could derive adopting of sustainable choices.

At the end of the course, the students should be able:
• To identify health risks that could arise from incorrect planning /designing/ management of built environments.
• To know good technical practices and the main indications on mitigation interventions to prevent disease and environmental risks
• To be able to perform an integrated analysis about health and environmental benefits of sustainable choices at neighborhood scale

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students with the architectural techniques that best adapt to sustainable construction and that have the lowest environmental impact

Educational objectives

The course focuses on the core issues of the energy project of the built environment and aware transformation of the physical space (environmentally conscious design), eco-efficiency and sustainability of the transformation processes, planning, recovery and building renovation, systems and appropriate technology, with a strong and decisive accentuation of interest for the development prospects for application of advanced technologies and systems, renewable energy systems, in particular, their relationship with other active and passive systems in buildings, for outcomes that, overall, can be derived from the integration in architecture. The educational objectives of the course intend to outline new professional skills able to work with technical awareness and cultural sensitivity in the specific field of engineering and energetics, at different scales and levels of intervention, with methodological and operational tools required today, and necessary, against the continuous evolution of the conversion request, the urgency that the issues of sustainability and redevelopment of built environments impose in terms of eco-compatibility of the main interventions.
