Course program
The load bearing structure and the spaces definition (basics - design criteria - construction techniques)The spatial structure and the functional compliance (size and distribution - accessibility – security)The technological structure and the control of environmental conditions (technical facilities - environmental protection – integration)The descriptive structure of building system (description – classification)The procedural structure of construction (building process - design as a process - structure of the design process)
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the building system in the classification of built spaces and parts, in their hierarchical and correlation relationships. Basic knowledge of statics and technical physics. Project representation. Fundamentals of technical drawing. Fundamentals of analytical and descriptive geometry.
Books
PDF documents downloadable from the course web page
For distance teaching, lessons and all course material are made available through the Google Classroom application, according to the indications of the Faculty and Degree Course Presidency.
Frequency
Compulsory attendance at design workshops. Strongly recommended attendance at lectures and tutorials, also in view of the lack of textbooks related to examination topics
