Architectural Technology Design Studio aims to combine the activity of thinking and the activity of doing.
It is intended to provide students with the tools of knowledge of the detailed design of a residential bulding based on human needs.
It strives to contribute to the formation of a vision of architecture as a field where different skills and interdisciplinary synthesis tools intersect.

Learning Objectives - Part C
The Laboratory of Architectural Technology is aimed to provide the methodological tools and operational aspects of architectural design, starting from the knowledge of spatial and technological systems; while considering the role and contribution of the "dimension" technique, the meaning of the project as a ground for comparison of different skills and physical place and time of interdisciplinary synthesi is emphasized.
Prerequisites - Part C
Knowledge of materials and construction elements. Knowledge of fundamentals of applied physics.
Teaching Methods - Part C
The Laboratory provides the following learning activities: Lectures, Development of a project, visit the site and / or works of architecture and / or fairs
Type of Assessment - Part C
The final examination is a discussion on the topics of the program and the outcome of the project.
