What you will study If you enrol in the “Building Retrofitting” track …(in English) Structural and geotechnical design You will know the structural performance that buildings must have You will know how new and existing structures are made, in terms of materials, details, construction techniques, static schemes, rules of art and regulations You will know the methods of modelling, analysis and verification of structures You will know the main diagnostic techniques of existing structures You will be familiar with intervention techniques to improve the structural performance of existing buildings with respect to conservation requirements and available economic resources You will be able to assess the safety of existing structures and design structural consolidation interventions, also in relation to the economic, plant, technological and distribution requirements of the building Design of building installations and infrastructures You will know the technical and energy performance that buildings must have, also in relation to the living comfort of users and the principles of environmental sustainability You will know how buildings are made and their main types of systems (heating and air conditioning, lighting, ....) You will know the modelling and analysis methods for assessing the energy, acoustic and lighting performance of existing buildings You will be able to design interventions for the energy and plant upgrading of existing buildings, also in relation to their architectural, technological and structural aspects and taking into account the principles of environmental sustainability Building and urban design You will know the architectural, distributive, constructive and functional characteristics of buildings You will know the main diagnostic techniques and be able to analyse the state of conservation of existing buildings You will know materials and techniques for building recovery You will know how to draw up projects aimed at the renovation of existing buildings in terms of aesthetic, functional and technical performances In addition, you will have the following transversal skills: you will know how to optimise the project in relation to available economic resources you will know how to design building interventions in compliance with the constraints imposed by regulations you will be aware of the value and complexity of historic buildings you will know how to manage design processes, coordinate safety and organise construction sites you will be aware of professional responsibility and ethics If you enrol in the “Building and urban systems” track…(in Italian Structural and geotechnical design You will know the structural performance that buildings must have You will know how new and existing structures are made, in terms of materials, details, construction techniques, static schemes, rules of art and regulations You will know the methods of modelling, analysis and design of structures You will be able to design new structures, also in relation to architectural requirements, construction feasibility and economic and environmental sustainability Design of building installations and infrastructures You will know the technical and energy performance that buildings must have, also in relation to the living comfort of users and the principles of environmental sustainability You will know how buildings are made and their main types of systems (electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, lighting, ....) You will know the modelling and analysis methods for assessing the technical, energy and living comfort performance of buildings You will know the basic principles for designing the electrical systems and plumbing infrastructure of buildings You will be able to design systems and installations to guarantee the energy performance and living comfort of buildings, also in relation to the principles of environmental sustainability Building and urban design You will get to know the architectural, distributive, constructive and functional characteristics of buildings You will know the theoretical-scientific, methodological and operational aspects of building and urban design You will be capable of designing and constructing buildings and new spaces, capable of guaranteeing the aesthetic, functional and technical performance required by users while respecting regulations, economic constraints and the social and environmental context In addition, you will have the following transversal skills you will know how to optimise the project in relation to available economic resources you will know how to design building interventions in compliance with the constraints imposed by regulations you will be aware of the value and complexity of historic buildings you will know how to manage design processes, coordinate safety and organise construction sites you will be aware of professional responsibility and ethics
