The course aims to provide the students the necessary competences to develop and improve the design process up to the realization of building.
The Executive Design is the third phase of the building process and it requires to set drawings with a high complexity level.
The training objectives aim to build specific competences in line with the contents of the Dublin descriptors and thus:
1. have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon and extends and/or enhances that typically associated with the first cycle, and that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context;
2. can apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study;
3. have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments;
4. can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously; have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely selfdirected or autonomous.
The classes aim at providing the basic know-how for approaching masonry structures. Details on the analysis and the executive design of masonry structures, and mixed structures (masonry-wood, masonry-steel, masonry-reinforced concrete). Basic principles on structural conception throughout the performance based approach will be provided
The course is organized with theoric lessons and a design exercise.
Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
Classes and tutor activities
If blended teaching should be required, all the necessary measures will be introduced
The cours aims to deal with the executive design into the contemporary building scenery; this perpective looks at an advanced tecnological context where the design choises are often addressed to use new materials and light prefabricated components
Italian Law 109/94, and its following updating, describes the executive design as an organized data system necessary to set the construction process in the buiding yard and to get exact directions to all the workmen and skilled workers.
We focus the attention on the peculiarity of executive drawings, for instance:
- summarizing drawings that shown the complex of the work and the building technique;
- interface drawings that aim to highlight a particular buiding yard organization;
- detail drawings and assembly drawings.
The course will explore the relationship between executive design and building yard where the building yard is understood as an experimentation place.
The students will have experience of a buiding yard for testing:
- dimension coordination;
- assembly techniques with a special attention to mechanical joint.
