OVERVIEW

The teaching aims to provide students with the basic knowledge of the elements of drawing, essential for representing their own project.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide the fundamental tools of two-dimensional and three-dimensional representation by addressing, with the appropriate tools, the issues of the building process. The principles of project communication will then be illustrated at both an architectural and engineering level. The course will provide the skills necessary to control building and urban space using the graphic language of drawing to develop digital survey and design models to represent and intervene on the built environment and the urban environment. The knowledge acquired will form the cultural background necessary to be able to relate with other technicians and final clients, using the drawing skills learned to facilitate communication, making it easier to understand the technical details and construction solutions adopted.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The Drawing Course intends to pursue two main objectives:
"the first is to represent exactly, on drawings that have only two dimensions, objects that have three and that are susceptible to rigorous definition. From this point of view, it is a language necessary for the man of genius who conceives a project, to those who have to direct its execution and finally to the artists who have to execute the different parts. The second objective of descriptive geometry is to deduce, from the exact description of the bodies, everything that results from their shapes and theirs. respective positions"  G. Monge 1799.

PREREQUISITES

No educational prerequisites are necessary for the student.

TEACHING METHODS

The theoretical lessons find practical application and subsequent verification in the exercises carried out in the classroom on themes, where possible, inspired by architectural elements or components.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Theory and history of representation methods.Drawing as projection. Introduction and notes on the history and evolution of Descriptive Geometry

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam is divided into two tests, one written and one oral; both tests focus on the graphic execution of descriptive geometry topics covered in class. If, during the year, the student has passed a series of intermediate written tests, the written test (one per session) may not be taken.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

During the exercises, a series of tables will be drawn up which the teacher will collect and, after having corrected them, evaluate. The tables will subsequently be returned to the students.
