Module COSTRUZIONI RURALI SOSTENIBILI

Knowledge and understanding 

Providing skills for the design of new rural buildings by means of functional solutions appropriate to the specific uses, the reduction of environmental pollution and the protection of the rural territory and landscape.

Applying knowledge and understanding 

Ability to design a rural building.

Making judgements

Stimulating autonomous choices through the exposition of different solutions for each problem, in order to induce the student to elaborate original solutions as a synthesis of the proposed case studies.

Communication skills 

Improving the ability to interact with professionals through the acquisition of adequate technical terminology.

Learning skills 

Improving the ability to identify and deepen the main issue of each subject.
