OVERVIEW

The course focuses on the development of concepts for sailing and motor boats with a particular focus on internal and external design and ergonomic elements and introduces the student to new methodologies for approaching design.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The unit provides students with the instuments and method needed to approach saling and motor yachts interior/exterior design.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Constant Activity and exchange in the classroom with the entire study group will allow the student to learn new tools to:

Analyze design in general (nautical and non-nautical) and read its form and function

Study and apply the basic concepts of technical drawing representation

Study, assimilate and start using nautical terms

Analyze and apply concepts of ergonomics and space distribution (interior/exterior) in order to maintain the correct volume/form/function ratio

Analyze and apply concepts of verbal and graphic communication in order to best present one's work

PREREQUISITES

Being a master's degree, the student must have acquired the following knowledge necessary to best face the course themes:

Knowledge of the nautical world (sailing/motor)

Knowledge of the software: Autocad 2D

Knowledge of the software: Rhinoceros 3D

Knowledge of any software for rendering

Knowledge of any software for layout and printing

TEACHING METHODS

Theory lessons

Exercise activities for the final exam project evolution

Students group building depending on the total number of students

Classroom Design and Review on each group final exam projects

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Theoretical lessons:

Nautical Terminology

How to approach Market Analysis

Ergonomics and Technical Drawing

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

PROJECT BROCHURE: delivery of a digital book in pdf format with the complete development of the course and a paper book in A5 format with the final sail and motor projects

TECHNICAL DRAWINGS PRINTED: delivery of the technical tables (general plan, plans, elevations, cross-sections and longitudinal sections) relating to the sail and motor concepts in an adequate scale (1:50) and correct representation (technical drawing) in order to analyze the projects in detail

ASSESSMENT METHODS

In fase d'esame verranno valutate:

la reale partecipazione alle lezioni e alle revisioni,

lo scambio di opinioni con il proprio gruppo di studio e con la classe intera mediante dibattito in aula,

correttezza e chiarezza dei disegni tecnici di progetto,

completezza del processo di progettazione totale delle due imbarcazioni,

complessità di analisi e di ricerca iniziali propedeutice alla progettazione dei due concept,

padronanza della corretta terminologia nautica per la presentazione del progetto
