Project and Construction Management

Educational objectives

course aim is to study in more detail structural modeling and analysis, with particular reference to structural model, with its numerical implementation. By characterizing the models for the structural system and acting forces and their implementation with numerical codes, theoretical knowledge and operational procedures will be extended and completed; specific skills for the statement and development structural analysis will be developed.

Educational objectives

The course has the goal to provide theoretical and applicative issues on the relationship between architecture and building construction, through this different aspects: Introduction of the concept of building and architectural organism according to the constructive techniques, the materials and the principles of environmental sustainability. Analysis of the building organism in the technological, environmental and functional-spatial sub-systems and application of the performance approach to the various building scales. The structure and the envelope: construction principles and geometry of the supporting structure, environmental principles, construction of the envelope and energy saving. Plants, facilities ad integration with architecture.

Educational objectives

The elective courses should be consistent with the educational objectives of the degree program.

Educational objectives

The Course aims to give students an organic framework for addressing the economic and management issues which characterize the activities of firms in the building market/process.
The Course is made up of two integrated teaching modules: a "institutional" Course mainly focussed on a general theoretical framework of the topic (main economic and business management principles: micro and macro economics, finance, marketing, management, etc.); a "monographic" Course focussed on the application of the topic with respect to the new market area of Facility Management (firms providing services for the management and maintenance of real estate and urban assets).

Educational objectives

This course comprises several iterative modules, aimed at deepening the practical use of project management, its key disciplines, such as the overall process, and to assist graduates in entering the profession, consistently with both the models and the laws recently introduced in Italy, and the theories and practices universally adopted in this sector and known with the name of project management body of knowledge.
The modules address the thematic area of the building process management from the point of view of the procedures of the design process and of the phase of work assignment and building management and from the point of view of technical-economic sustainability.

Educational objectives

The specific goal of the Project Management module is to provide methods and tools of the technological culture for a correct approach within the decision-making process, for quality control, for the management of design choices and implementation of interventions.
At the end of the Project Management module, students must:
- have acquired the knowledge of the main operational phases, of the main actors and of the instruments of control of the technological quality,

- having acquired, also through the experimentation carried out through the application, the methodologies of control of the design and construction quality, starting from the technical-economic feasibility design, towards the subsequent technical in-depth stages of the process.

Educational objectives

The module Methods and technics for the assessment of project management, integrated with the course in Project Management, has the goal to deepen the necessary economic notions for understanding, analysing and rationalising the needs upstream from a project, whether public or private, and which must form the basis of any project discussed and shared with the client, in the entire the building process acquisition of the sites, tendering and awarding the contract, site and operating management of the activities carried out.

Educational objectives

The course is aimed at learning skills and abilities, in order to understand and control the space of building systems or portions of it, through the critical exercise based on the acquisition and representation of the geometric, graphic, digital model. At the end of the course the student must be able to solve the creation and representation of complex geometric shapes, even generated in the parametric field, knowing how to set them critically according to the foundations and technical issues of the Representation Science.

Educational objectives

Understanding of basics for the seismic design of new structures, and for the assessment and strengthening of existing structures.

Educational objectives

The further learning activities are aimed at opening the student to verify the skills acquired open to jobs, through the attendance of internships, seminars, workshops, acquisition of computer skills, agreed with the coordinator of the Degree Course or with the teacher responsible for the verification of the knowledge acquired in this training area.

Educational objectives

The final text is an individual exam and consists of the preparation, editing and presentation of an original assignment. The theme of the assignment is agreed upon with the thesis advisor and shall be coherent, for contents and methods, to the general objectives of the Degree Course. It can be a experimental or theoretical design project or a critical re-edition of the curriculum (curricular thesis, portfolio).
The scope of the final thesis exam is that the student demonstrates the acquisition during the three-year course improvement and autonomy in learning and in developing critical skills, such as and the ability to manage an effective communication of the theoretical, methodological, technical and design knowledge acquired during the education process.
