Learning Objectives - Last names N-Z
The aim of the Lab is the critical and design research on the topic of HOUSING.
The course aims, therefore, to provide students with the appropriate tools for the "composition" of a collective residential building, caught in its relationship with the singular elements of a real fragment of the Tuscan landscape, as well as in the complexity of the spatial and "tectonic" relations that define it.
Prerequisites - Last names N-Z
Having achieved the exams prescribed by the prerequisites of the school's teaching regulations.
Teaching Methods - Last names N-Z
The project will be at the centre of the Design Lab's educational activities that will be almost totally reserved for the work of the students in the classroom. Some short theoretical lessons, dedicated to specific topics, will integrate this activity.
The project will be elaborated by working groups composed by two / three students.
The Lab will open with an in-depth study of the 20th century COLLECTIVE HOUSING, during which will be analysed, from a compositional point of view, some paradigmatic examples (from modern to contemporary) through models and graphic works, on an appropriate scale to the comprehension of the dimensions of the spaces, of the respective hierarchies and of the relationships between served spaces and service spaces.
Subsequently, the architectural project of one or more collective residential buildings will translate into a dialectic synthesis the analytical data emerged in the first phase.

Nothing else.
Type of Assessment - Last names N-Z
The methods for ascertaining the learning outcomes consist in verifying the attendance of the courses and participation in the proposed activities and in the evaluation of practical project exercises both in the intermediate phases and in the final phase.
Collective revisions/corrections in the classroom will alternate with individual ones (individual working groups): students must always present themselves with model(s) of study and drawings at the appropriate scale.
The final exam consists in the presentation and discussion of the design work carried out during the year.
