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 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.
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 activities include: - lectures on the topics indicated in the programme
The teaching programme is based on the topics developed in the main reference text (cf.TESTI/BIBLIOGRAFIA)
The main reference text is the following volume compiled as a general text on technical architecture, within which the topics indicated in PROGRAMME AND CONTENT can be found.

The examination is the result of the assessments of the verification of learning of the topics covered during the lectures.
In the oral interview, students must demonstrate the ability to synthesise and expound, as well as the ability to critically re-elaborate and effectively use the knowledge acquired.
