OVERVIEW

The module intends to provide an understanding of the complex reality of building design, describing the phases of the building process, analysing typical building construction techniques and technologies, critically breaking down the constituent elements of buildings, with attention to the reading of the main functional typologies also by technically analysing the evolutions in the history of construction techniques and technologies.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The module introduces the complex reality of building design and construction, describing the phases of the building process, analysing the typical techniques and technologies of building construction, critically breaking down the constituent elements of buildings, with a focus on reading the main functional and structural typologies.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

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.

The course is structured to provide students with the following skills:

- introduction to the history of construction techniques and technologies

- construction materials

- construction systems

- construction elements

- the main construction nodes in buildings.

TEACHING METHODS

Teaching activities include lectures on the topics indicated in the programme.

Working students and students with a certified DSA, disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the course in order to agree on teaching and examination methods that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The teaching programme is based on the topics developed in the main reference text (cf.TESTI/BIBLIOGRAFIA).

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

The main reference text is the following volume compiled as a general text on technical architecture, within which the topics indicated in AIMS can be found.
