Class Construction 2.1

With regard to the incidence of learning in projectual practice one will seek bringing to evidence twocomplementary aspects whose apparent contradiction only the disciplined exercise of the Project will be able to clarify: a) Setting reasonable limits in preparing the Project. b) Construction as a stimulus for formal creation. The student will develop the ability to integrate operatively in practical work knowledge and information gathered in the discipline of Construction, assuming the development of the Project as a comprehensive process.

Not applicable

Theoretical classes: The lectures will be based on developing an autonomous program, thoug sequentially structured to make it operative in conjunction with the practice of the project. 1 - Floors, walls and roofs - ground contact 2 - Exterior and interior openings - frameworks and shading systems 3 - Design of interior spaces - constructive detailing 4 - Design of outdoor spaces - constructive detailing 5- Gathering and systematization of technical information to support the project Practical classes: Practical classes will focus on identifying and addressing issues within the discipline, taking as a support he work to be developed in the Project area. Criticism will tend to be based on a reading of the solutions able to lead to the generalization of the problems, while trying to remain attentive to the architectural specificity of each propos

We propose a teaching method with continuous evaluation, without final exam. Referenced to the two complementary fields that correspond to the characteristics of the pedagogic times, of theory and of practice, we propose a teaching method that assumes the Architecture as an attitude of synthesis, naturally based on a systematization of information that, trying to privilege the understanding of the phenomena, will stimulate the further development of the project idea, passing inevitably, for the understanding of the articulation with the practice of the Project as a privileged field of gauging pedagogic results. In parallel we predict the possibility, at an early stage, of development of practical work group that may take the form of constructively detailed small projects. In addition the following actions will be undertaken: 1 - Direct contact with works 2 - Actions of information with collaboration of construction companies, including disclosure of selected products and systems.
