Course Objectives
Al fine di conseguire i risultati attesi per la sperimentazione didattica proposta, l’offerta didattica articolata nelle differenti attività mira fare acquisire allo studente le competenze necessarie alla rappresentazione dell’architettura attraverso i metodi e le tecniche di rappresentazione tradizionali (analogiche) e innovative (digitali e multimediali).
Il disegno sarà adottato come strumento di conoscenza e analisi dell’architettura; la comunicazione grafica e multimediale come strumento per la disseminazione del patrimonio fisico.
Particolare attenzione sarà rivolta all’uso critico delle tecniche di rappresentazione per l’analisi e la comunicazione dell’architettura.
Obiettivi formativi qualificanti:
- Acquisizione delle nozioni di base dei metodi della rappresentazione dell’architettura;
- Capacità di rappresentare, scomporre e analizzare l’architettura;
- Abilità nell’uso delle tecniche analogiche e digitali di rappresentazione e comunicazione visiva.
Obiettivi formativi specifici in relazione al tema del corso:
- Capacità di sviluppare la conoscenza dei tipi di rappresentazione dell’architettura;
- Capacità di elaborare e trascrivere i dati acquisiti dal rilievo diretto e strumentale;
- Capacità di sviluppare elaborati grafici per la comunicazione dell’architettura.
Course Prerequisites
The course, placed in the second year, provides knowledge of elementary concepts of descriptive geometry, knowledge of the history of Western architecture, basic knowledge of conventional representation codes. Ability to manage and use digital systems.
For propaedeutic information, refer to article 19 of the Educational Regulations.
Teaching Methods
The training activities include: a) theoretical lessons to enable students to acquire the notions useful for the representation of architecture;
b) practical exercises in which the methods of representing existing and project architecture will be applied;
c) thematic in-depth seminars.
Attendance of the course is mandatory.
Lessons: (hours/year in the classroom): 24
Exercises: (hours/year in the classroom): 20
Practical activities: (hours/year in classroom):8
Seminars: (hours/year in classroom): 8.
Autonomous learning by the student
1 credit = 25 hours (10 hours frontal/15 by the student*)
- In-depth analysis/study on bibliography (theoretical part): 20h
- Preparation of graphic elaborations for intermediate elavuation: 35h
- Preparation of graphic elaborations for the final exam: 35h
Assessment Methods
The final exam is individual. It can be accessed after verifying the minimum attendance required by the course and after having delivered all the graphic works assigned during the year. The sheets produced during the course and the topics covered in the theoretical lessons will be the subject of the oral exam.
Grade:
30 - 30 cum laude: excellent ability to conceive and develop the survey project and representation of the assigned theme; excellent language and communication skills also on different registers (drawing, presentation, etc.);
26-29: good ability to conceive and develop relief and representation of the assigned theme; good ability to articulate a specialized discourse also through different communicative registers;
22-25: sufficient ability to conceive and develop a survey and representation of the assigned theme, as well as to articulate a specialized discourse;
18-21: minimum ability to conceive and develop relief and representation of the assigned theme;
Insufficient: strong difficulties in conceiving and developing the relief and representation of the assigned theme; strong training gaps; inability to apply the acquired knowledge; inappropriate language.

Course programm
The main focus is drawing as a tool for knowledge and analysis of architecture.
The representation of architecture as knowledge and research of the identity of places and as a critical reading of the modifications implies the need for relations with the disciplines of history, history of art and architecture as well as the use of tools that allow us to decode the signs of the times.
The focus of the year will address topics relating to the representation of architecture designed and built between the 1950s and 1970s, with the survey and graphic rendering of some examples in the cities of Sicily and Calabria.
The field activities will be agreed with the students and with the contingent conditions.
The graphic works will be prepared according to a draft provided by the teaching staff and will represent the conclusion of the application exercises of the Integrated Course in Architectural Drawing and Surveying discipline.
Expected results
Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the Course each student will have acquired the ability to represent historical and modern architectures and an in-depth morphological and structural knowledge of the Calabrian coastal towers as punctual elements and more generally as an application model.
Applying knowledge and understanding
The skills acquired will lead each student to apply the methods and techniques of architectural representation to more complex architectures to document and represent them graphically.
Making judgements
The knowledge and skills acquired will allow each student to develop a critical approach towards the knowledge of architecture, proposing autonomous and original solutions.
Communication skills
Each student will acquire the ability to recognise, analyze and communicate with appropriate techniques and terminology, and through a correct graphic composition of the works, examples of architecture inserted in the historical and territorial context.
Learning skills
At the end of the training course the student will be able to autonomously implement the specific knowledge of innovative graphic processing, having acquired the necessary foundations.
