Szokolay – Introduction to architectural science

Argomenti del programma: This Studio presents and promotes a design approach strongly oriented towards environmental sustainability. The proposed design methodology can be placed in the context of the regenerative environmental design. This term refers to a proactive and systemic design approach strongly oriented to the control of the dynamics activated by the design choices and their ecological compatibility, with particular reference to…

• Lecture slides, book chapters, papers, articles etc. will be available on WeBeep during the course

Argomenti del programma: This course provides the concepts and the tools useful for the development of an environmental conscious approach to building design. It mainly deals with the essential aspects related to designing and energy retrofit interventions of building envelope and energy supply systems for appropriate thermal and visual comfort.

Argomenti del programma: The Interior Space Design Studio will work on Dwelling , the possibility of establishing a meaningful relationship with the world, as Christian Norberg Schultz stated (in The concept of dwelling: on the way to figurative architecture , 1985). More in detail, we will inflect residential spaces in its private meaning: the Studio will work on the topic of housing, especially public and social housing.

Argomenti del programma: This course explores the methods and tools used to assess and design for high environmental quality in built environments, with the goal of ensuring occupant health, comfort, and well-being, as well as supporting the implementation of sustainable design strategies.

Argomenti del programma: By developing a deeper intuitive understanding of thermal sciences, the course allows students to approach the architectural design taking into account the physical phenomena responsible of the building behaviour. Moreover, by introducing the basics of the architectural science, the course provides knowledge of the physical principles and their relationship to human comfort, also by considering the control functions…

Argomenti del programma: METODO E CONTENUTI La finalità del progetto di architettura è la costruzione. L'obiettivo formativo del Laboratorio di Costruzione dell'architettura è la comprensione del complesso sistema delle relazioni che intercorrono tra ideazione e realizzazione dell'opera: dai caratteri morfologici, tipologici e funzionali, al sistema dei vincoli organizzativi, normativi ed economici, alle tecniche, ai materiali e agli…
