AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The main aim of the theoretical part of the course is to provide students with in-depth knowledge on the theory and practice of analogue and digital surveying and representation techniques. 

The practical laboratory, through on-site sessions and synthesis workshops, aims to provide the student with knowledge of the use of analogue and digital survey instruments and the digital application of graphic standards for the drafting of a survey project and enhancement of architectural and decorative peculiarities. 

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Attendance and active participation in the proposed training activities (lectures and on-site inspection and data return activities) and individual study will allow the student to

• know in depth the main issues related to Integrated Architectural Surveying;
• apply direct and indirect survey methods;
• identify the main phases of the project: on-site inspections - photographic investigation - survey campaign - graphic restitution - chromatic survey

• know the main theoretical concepts and the course contents.
• To be able to apply the theoretical notions learned during the lessons on the assigned lots, generally structured for individual groups;
• To understand the topic and achieve the objectives, interactive comprehension tests, group work, and presentations during workshops are required.

PREREQUISITES

PREREQUISITES: Representation Lab.1.

TEACHING METHODS

The course is divided into lectures carried out by the teacher in which the theory will be exposed, which will be applied to the different lots assigned to working groups. In his personal work, the student will have to acquire the knowledge and concepts underlying the laboratory practice of representation and surveying. There are 2 transversal credits (Laboratory A and B) dedicated to architectural surveying through advanced digital tools.

The course includes compulsory attendance at lectures and related laboratory activities for 70% of the total 80 hours.  The activities of collecting the metric-geometric data of the assigned lots are carried out in working groups. All the data acquired through direct and indirect photogrammetric instrumentation will be coordinated among all the groups during the final synthesis workshop from 13 to 17 January for a total of 20 hours.

The final exam consists of an individual oral interview and the delivery of the final graphic works performed during the workshop.

The student may make use of the material made available on the website [Aulaweb].

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of an individual interview and group work carried out during the last day of the FINAL SYNTHESIS WORKSHOP.

The interview includes the verification of theoretical knowledge; (rating from 18 to 30L)

The group work consists of the presentation of the final graphic drawings of the survey project: about 12 final tables. (rating from 18 to 30L)

The final evaluation consists of the averages of the individual evaluations.

To participate in the written test, you must register at least two days before the exam date on the website

https://servizionline.unige.it/studenti/esami/prenotazione

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Details on how to prepare for the exam and on the degree of depth of each topic will also be given during the lessons.

The interview will verify the actual acquisition of basic knowledge. The open questions will allow to assess the ability to apply knowledge in practical situations. The student must be able to connect and integrate the knowledge learned during the laboratory activities with that provided during the lectures.

The oral exam will focus mainly on the topics covered during the lectures and will aim to evaluate not only whether

The student has reached an adequate level of knowledge, but if he has acquired the ability to critically analyze problems that will be posed during the exam.

Presentation of the graphic drawings: The graphic drawings must comply with the rules for the restitution of an architectural and urban survey at different scales: 1:500-1:200, 1:100, 1:50, 1:20.
