The course is based on a technological approach to the project and contributes to the development of issues of the relationship between "Ideation" and "Construction" of a building object. It provides the student with the methodological, technical and lexical baggage to understand the feasibility of the constructive choices and their integration into the building system, as well as the complexity of the building process. At the end of the course the student will be able to: (KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING) read the existing building organizations and recognize the systems and sub-systems of components and their relationships, identifying and assigning to the different building systems requirements and performance capacity in relation to the needs of the client; (ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING) to set up a simple building project with particular reference to the shape and materials of the building components and sub-components; to define the correlation between the parts of the building organism in order to guarantee safety and environmental comfort; (AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT) use the tools and methods necessary to make informed and reasoned choices within the project action, using advanced techniques and tools for the design of components, systems and processes; (COMMUNICATION SKILLS) express himself/herself with appropriate terminology and set up the drafting of accurate technical reports. (LEARNING ABILITY) The development of the design exercise will allow the student to apply the knowledge and concepts learned in a context of study, bringing him/her to deepen the specific project themes that he/she will develop in following courses; not least, it will allow him/her to form the capacity for relationships and shared work, necessary for a professional figure able to work in a team.

The course trains the student to a correct methodological approach and to an overall and integrated vision of the problems that affect the design and construction of buildings, deepening the technical and technological aspects of civil constructions. The synthesis between the ideation of the form and the constructive procedure for its realization is defined through the enunciation of constructive principles, to be based on the project action, and the technical-constructive interpretation of the building organism seen as a set of elements with specific roles in relation to security, space classification, and living comfort. The lessons will address the following topics: 1. The building system as a synthesis of the environmental system and the technological system. Technical legislation. Environmental legislation. Requirements. Performances. The design of the technological system of a residential building organism. The concepts learned in the theoretical lessons will be applied in the design exercise provided by the course, which will be supervised by the three professors who will alternate during the semester.

The program will be available on the Moodle page of the course within the beginning of lectures.

The course includes the carrying out of theoretical monothematic lessons (LT) and the development of a Design project (EXP). If possible, a study visit (SV) will be organized. The exercise will be carried out in pairs and will consider the design of a residential building with at least two users’ units/cores. There will be discussion sessions in the classroom on the progress and final results. The execution of the exercise during the semester is mandatory and must be delivered on the Moodle page of the course by the end of the lessons. No further project review sessions are planned after the course ends.

The course requires mandatory classroom attendance, as well as mandatory attendance at the project exercise reviews by both students to whom it is assigned and who develop it. Students with special attendance needs or special educational needs are asked to contact the teacher by sending an email to agree on any accommodations.

Oral exam + submission and evaluation of the exercise. The oral exam will start with the discussion of the exercise paper and will delve into topics of construction technology and related regulations. The final grade will be the average of the grades obtained in the exercise (50%) and the oral exam (50%). The design exercise will be evaluated in thirtieths based on the completeness of the project, accuracy in description and representation, appropriateness and motivation of the chosen solutions. The oral exam grade will be composed as follows: substantial technical correctness of the answer (50%), correctness in the appropriate use of technical terminology (20%), correctness in the methodological setting of solutions to design problems posed by the teacher (30%).

This course explores topics closely related to the following goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: 4, 11, 12
