OVERVIEW

The Architectural Engineering teaching refers to the technological design of buildings; the tools, methods and techniques for the design at the scale of the building are shared, which can be used in the transformation, realisation, maintenance, recovery and management of the built environment, with reference to the aspects related to the technological design of works with a demanding and performance approach of the building assets. Furthermore, the aim is to provide a cultural introduction to: the history and technological culture of construction; the study of building technologies and construction systems in their historical development; the study of natural and artificial materials.
