Learning Objectives - Last names E-M
The course aims to homogenize the incoming student in line with the professional figure formed within the Degree in Architecture Sciences who possess the conceptual and operational control of the basic methods and tools necessary to operate in the field design, conducted at different scales, in the areas of architecture, construction and the territory.
The aim is to stimulate the students, through a reading and a graphic description of the components of architecture such as geometry, dimension, matter, morphology, in such a way that they develop a mindset suitable for observing and analyzing the objects that make up the anthropized space. structural and symbolic in order to analyze and represent them correctly.
During the course of the studies the experiences of designed architecture can not be verified other than through the comparison with the "lived experiences". Valuable judgments on unrealized architectural proposals can only come from the acquisition of a space culture that allows the analytical and synthetic assessment of the complex system of relationships that characterizes and characterizes a particular environmental situation.
The expressive effectiveness of the description of the space is therefore entrusted to the drawing, whether it is performed freehand or with appropriate tools (from pencil to modern software).
The geometric foundations are the unavoidable basis of the analysis and representation of architecture.
The automatic design is not automatic, but rests on precise geometric principles and codes of representation, the knowledge of which is necessary not only to operate during the return of data detected by reality but also to control what is designed.
The exercises are designed to train and verify each student's ability to perform:
1. Freehand drawing of an environment during and after direct observation - reading of the geometries and proportional relationships between its parts
2. Representation and graphic Interpretations of environment and architecture
3. Graphic representations of designed spaces
4. Graphic restitution, according to the methods of representing the descriptive geometry of an existing architectural organism

The workshop is divided into theoretical lessons, ex-tempore (with "drawing from life" of architectures and related details) and practical exercises followed by revisions of the graphic drawings made by the students.
The thematic tables will be prepared in the classroom with a revision of the theoretical concepts expressed in the part of the introduction to the tables.
October: extempore on the representation of architecture from life
December: extempora on the representation of roofs and vaults
From 20 to 22 January 2016, to complete the 80 hours of teaching, the recovery seminar will be held in Sovana (GR). The seminar will be aimed at tackling the problems inherent in drawing from life and the representation of a historical architecture in the urban and environmental context.

To take the exam, each student must demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical basis of graphic representation in all its expressions and perform the exercises and ex-tempore programmed both on-site and in-house, collected in an A4 format album, as well as in boards to be made, on 50 x 70 sheets.
The day of the examination will be the verification of all the works produced (delivered in paper and digital format) and theoretical knowledge of each topic, after passing a graphic test and an oral test on the issues addressed in the course.

Information
In the laboratories, similar disciplines are assembled in order to obtain a more engaging and direct didactics, in which the student's maturation stems from a continuous and active collaboration with the teachers. Therefore the work of the course presupposes attendance and participation.
Attendance is mandatory; the frequency signature will be given at the end of the year based on the attendance (at least 70%) and the performance of all the required exercises.
The lessons will alternate with off-site exercises and ex-tempore in the classroom to verify the learning of the various topics.
The exercises are designed to train and verify each student's ability to perform:
1. Freehand drawing of an environment during and after direct observation - reading of the geometries and proportional relationships between its parts
2. Representation and graphic Interpretations of environment and architecture
3. Graphic representations of designed spaces
4. Graphic restitution, according to the methods of representing the descriptive geometry of an existing architectural organism
2) Topics covered
Design of architecture
The lessons will take place according to two parallel strands: the first is aimed at focusing the problems of the method for the analysis and the reading of the values of the observed space, the second tends to the development of the knowledge of the graphic means for the description and the representation. In particular, the topics will be discussed:
Drawing as an expressive code and an interpretation tool; The graphic representation of architecture, functions and evolution; Manual and instrumental graphic techniques; The representation of the constituent elements of architecture; The representation of architectural space. Overview of visual perception and image composition.
Automatic drawing
. Digital geometries. Two and three-dimensional vector representation systems. Bitmap representation systems. Solid systems and systems for polygonal surfaces. Processes for bi and three-dimensional drawing. Graphic image processing. Geometric transformations of the image. Tools for graphic communication.
The lessons will be held with the aid of a computer using different programs in order to obtain an architectural design complying with the rules.
Cad, image processing and paging programs will be used.
Elements of Descriptive Geometry
Principles of projective representation and a basis on the knowledge of platonic solids and their constructive properties. The geometric concept of conical and cylindrical projections will have to be acquired with particular attention to the principle of the two-way correspondence between planes and sections according to the theory of Monge projections. It remains understood that these rules will have to be acquired as a grammar of architectural design and as preparatory to the subsequent design courses in which they will be investigated.
