THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING

Course objectives

Principles of structural statics: wall frameworks and their variables in relation to pushing and non- pushing systems. From design to execution: construction materials, from procurement to construction; the construction techniques and constraints imposed by the geomorphological nature of the sites. From building site to usage: infrastructural structures and evolution of the building process, design constraints and technical measures. Graphic documentation for the study of archaeological architecture.

Course program
The course aims to study ancient architecture through the analysis of its remains. It is structured into a series of lectures focusing on the principles of elementary statics (structural equilibrium, thrust and non-thrust systems), ancient construction systems (materials used, their provenance, processing, and application), and construction techniques (identification of variables related to the constraints imposed by the site's morphology and the availability of building materials). Examples of issues related to the correct interpretation of ancient structures are presented both in the classroom, through image projections, and during visits to archaeological sites featuring well-preserved architectural remains. Starting from Monday, October 6, the lessons will be held as follows: Monday 2:00-4:00 PM - Auletta di archeologia Tuesday 10:00-12:00 - Aula F
