The course is aimed at students with different educational backgrounds in the three-year period; Some basic principles of representation in the naval field will therefore be dealt with in a specific way.
The course is divided into three phases:
- the analysis of visual references, intended as a source of design inspiration,
- the development of architectural executives related to the chosen proposal and the evaluation of constraints and potentialities deriving from them
- the critical analysis of the final result as a moment of comparison between the initial idea and the actual sustainability of the project on a technical level.
The course aims to provide students with specific expertise in the development of graphic designs useful for communication and the implementation of a project in the naval field. These documents make specific reference, in the case of the course in question, to the preparation of the environments with the main residential function of passengers and the board.
The aim of the course is to make the student aware of how representation constitutes a real design method, allowing the development of synthesis and critical analysis of the ideational process.
Basic knowledge of representation methods is required.
Theoretical lectures and collective reviews will be carried out to share the processes and stages of development of personal works.
The course starts from a reflection on what is the state of the art in the field of naval design with reference to the potential introduced by the tools and methods of representation.
Some case studies are then analyzed in which representation can be interpreted as a method through which to define a design process and an ideation process.
From the initial graphic summaries, we will then move on to the analysis of expressions of the executive project in order to conclude a cyclical path that allows us to consider what discrepancies may arise between idea and realization in the light of technical aspects.
The course in the second part therefore sees the development, independently or in groups, of a design theme according to what has been learned in the previous phase.

The examination consists of the presentation of one's project in the light of the considerations regarding representation.
The ability to structure a methodological and expressive path consistent with the declared cultural premises will be evaluated.
