"We really only know what we do": in the wake of Vichian thought, the course intends to organize a didactic experience whose focus is the practice of the project. In this logic also the aspects of theoretical-reflexive matrix will have to find in the development of the compositional proposal their field of elaboration, application, definitive revelation.
Course Content - Last names E-M
THE ARCHITECTURE FOR CHILDREN, caught in the relationship between educational needs and collective everyday life as well as in the dialectical between the universality of the type and the specificity of the place, is at the centre of the Design Lab’s research.
THE WORLD OF CHILDREN, poetic and enchanted by definition, is investigated with the aim of building a space that can be transformed, through art, into a place of creativity and knowledge, experimentation, discovery and self-learning.

Learning Objectives - Last names A-D
The goal of the workshop is to test the knowledge acquired by the students at the end of their training, verifying the ability to translate it into a complex design exercise in its conceptual and material frameworks.
Learning Objectives - Last names E-M
The aim of the Lab is the critical and design research on the topic of the ARCHITECTURE FOR CHILDREN.
The course aims, therefore, to provide students with the appropriate tools for the "composition" of a small KINDERGARTEN, 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.

Those included in the course of studies.
Prerequisites - Last names E-M
Having achieved the exams prescribed by the prerequisites of the school's teaching regulations.
Teaching Methods - Last names A-D
The laboratory activities will be modelled on the example of the design seminars or workshops; the time available will be entirely devoted to the work of the students at the site - research, drawing, maquette; a modality that is a cast of what happens every day in a workshop. The frontal lesson will be interpreted as a brief communication on singular and specific aspects related to the topics dealt students. The project will be prepared by working groups of three students.
Teaching Methods - Last names E-M
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 KINDERGARTENS, 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 a small KINDERGARTEN will translate into a dialectic synthesis the analytical data emerged in the first phase.

The course includes two exercises to be held during the semester.
1 - Repertorio
Each group must agree on the study of contemporary or twentieth-century architecture, the type of which refers to the case study: a rural chapel. The analysis will be presented according to the layout. The set of case studies will define a repertoire.
2 - 10 Slides
Each work group will present a projection (power-point/pdf) titled 10 Slides.
Slide 0: Header, names of the authors, motto of the project proposal.
Slides 1-5: spatial hermeneutical exercises - interpretation of place and type.
Slides 6-10: highlights of the current project (konzept).
The tools used will be photography, drawing, three-dimensional model, conceptual diagram, quotation (movies, visual arts, literature, etc.).

Nothing else.
Type of Assessment - Last names A-D
The experiences carried out in the laboratory will all be subject to specific judgements and will contribute to the final evaluation.
List of materials required to take the test:
- three-dimensional model of the project proposal scale 1:50 (size and morphology of the model according to lay-out) - cardboard-wood construction material in suitable thicknesses.
- drawings according to lay-out.
- portfolio containing the results of the various exercises (photos/drawings of: Repertorio, 10 images), the project report, plans, sections, axonometric views; it is possible to insert graphic works not present on the tables for a better understanding of the project proposal.
- dvd with all the files produced during the workshop (give name, surname, e-mail address and mobile phone of each member of the group).
The oral test will consist in the discussion of the project results: ability to summarize, argumentative rationality, competence in the use of a specialized vocabulary are the main indexes in the verification of learning.

Type of Assessment - Last names E-M
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) and drawings at the appropriate scale.
The final exam consists in the presentation and discussion of the design work carried out during the semester.

"Da cosa nasce cosa"
Christian theologians have distinguished a divine creation (operari ex nihilo) from the action of the craftsman (facere de materia); gathering this cue, the design exercise is intended as a metamorphosis-transformation of an existing artifact. The building is the Capela do Monte Lagos made by Álvaro Siza in 2018, whose overall planimetric dimensions will be proposed again. From the Siza chapel five themes are extrapolated that the new projects will have to articulate according to specific syntax and modalities: the podium, the courtyard, the natural light, the mono-materiality, the furnishings.
