AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Through lectures and practical exercises carried out in groups, students must demonstrate that they have developed a methodology for approaching the project and a personal sensitivity to the issues of Cultural and Nautical Heritage recovery and enhancement. They must also demonstrate knowledge and ability to apply tools such as:

- research and analysis;

- ideation and synthesis;

- elaboration and drafting of graphic designs;

- sketches, technical drawings, mock-ups;

- presentation and display of their work.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching is delivered through different and complementary activities, the main being:

- theoretical lessons and seminaries;

- group activities (debates, brief, brainstorming, project reviews…);

- external visits;

- practical lessons (exercises and short projects).

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The module concerns:

- restoration, refitting and restyling principles, also for not nautical contexts;

- recognising, awareness and categorizing of historical vessels;

- introduction to traditional features, materials and construction technologies typical of historical vessels;

- approach to the restoration project, consisting of guidelines, design process and method;

- case studiy presentation and practical application.

During the module, external visits, detail studies, exercises and short projects are also considered.

Both theoretical lessons and practical application of Disegno Industriale 2.1 are fundamental to the design activities of Disegno Industriale 2.2.

The specific topic of the year is defined before the lessons start and it will be promptly communicated to students on the aulaweb page.  Aulaweb is the main tool for communication and weekly updates by professors.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The examination consists of the delivery and presentation of all papers produced during the module and critical discussion of them also in relation to the theoretical content delivered during the semester.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Oral discussion with a presentation of the graphic works produced during the teaching. The discussion of the materials presented by the students will be evaluated on the basis of completeness, the ability to interpret, deepen and render graphically with respect to the assigned topic, and aims to verify the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical notions delivered. The evaluation also considers the ability to critically rework the concepts acquired and orient them to practical design applications.
