Architectural Sciences

The Design Studio Lab of the third year (Laboratorio di progettazione III) consists of two integrated modules: one of architectural design and one of interior architecture. The program, the bibliography and the final exam are the same for both courses whose didactic objective is to take care of the general aspects of the design of the school building and of the specific characteristics of the interiors in terms of functional spaces and furnishings. They are therefore integrated in the most proper sense of the term, aiming to develop the designer's ability to keep the various aspects of the project together. PREREQUISITES: ability to represent architectural design; having passed the design programme in previous years

Organization The workshop is based on the work carried out mainly in the classroom, as the main place for reflection and debate on the problems of design, and will be organized into lectures and exercises. All the materials of the Laboratory, including the lessons will be downloadable from the e-learning platform to which all students must register. There are three in-progress reports of the project: 1. GENERAL PLANIMETRY of the area of intervention with the insertion of the building and general plan in a 1: 500 scale including the school-open space-garden system; 2. plans, front and side views and sections in 1: 200 scale; 3. 1:50 scale study of a selected part of the school building. A final presentation of the project is scheduled in the last week of the semester. Exam documents - FIVE A1 format drawing boards containing: planivolumetric plan in scale 1: 1000 including an adequate portion of the urban context; diagrams and graphs describing the concept; general plan of the building and related garden in 1: 500 scale with section-profiles and 3D views; plan elevations and sections of the building in a scale of 1: 200 with 3D views of interiors and exteriors; drawings of interior spaces related to the Interior Architecture module. - MODEL in 1: 500 scale of the building, of the garden and of the park - REPORT with definition and description of the concept, in A4 format max 10 pages including text and sketches and / or diagrams and a summary of the dimensional data of the building program. For the interior design module the student, as per the setting of the entire course, will have to demonstrate that he has also evaluated this as an integral part of the project.

ATTENDANCE TO THE COURSE will be detected by signature on the attendance sheet. It is part of the mandatory to be present in the Design Studio activity the delivery of the intermediate exercises described in the "Teaching program" section. The condition of attending student will not be considered fulfilled if attendance signatures and deliveries are less than 70% of the total number of lessons.

The exam will take place with an oral part related to the reading of one of the chosen texts indicated in the bibliography and with the exposition of the project as described in the section: Methods of development. Exam documents.

The theme of the Workshop involves the design of an architectural complex consisting of cultural services and social housing in the area corresponding to the urban void of Largo Perosi. The area that is still the subject of a project in the partial phase of realization is between the Lungotevere Sangallo, at the Mazzini Bridge, Via Giulia and Largo della Moretta.

Have passed the preparatory exams and the previous 2 design workshops

Bi-weekly mandatory classroom attendance for at least 70% of classes

Assessment of students' knowledge and learning skills will take place at the time of the final exam and with midterm examinations, conducted either through individual reviews and seminars in the classroom or on an e-learning platform.

The course will be held in presence. Each lesson will open with a roll-call to mark attendance and the reading of the timetable with the teacher's explanation of the lessons and topics to be covered and the assignments to be produced by the students. Each lesson will generally be divided into two parts the first theoretical part will cover the topics addressed in the project, the second applied part will consist of exercises and reviews on the topic.
