The project developed in the design studio 2m is the natural continuation of what started in the design studio 1m. The prerequisite for registration is to have followed the previous design studio 1M in the same channel.
The topic is a medium complexity architectural project, on which the cross-checks of the four teaching modules converge: Architectural and Urban Composition, Architectural Technology, Technical Physics, Economic evaluation of the project. The main topics concern:
- Criteria for liveability of the space
- Architecture and construction
- Relationships between shapes and materials
- Normative references on building construction
- Representation and communication of the construction project
- Plant engineering and environmental elements
- Advanced materials and construction procedures
- Details of alternative construction solutions
- Economic evaluation of the design procedures
- Checking the feasibility

10. Poscritto: la traiettoria tettonica, 1903-1994.

The laboratory is proposed as an integrated course between several specialized aspects:
- construction technology,
- mechanical design,
- economic evaluation of the project.
During the Laboratorio students will design a building with an high complex program both from a functional point of view, structural and mechanical. At the same time students will face the complex undertakings of inserting their building in the pre-existing urban fabric of the contemporary city.
The laboratorio is coordinated with the laboratorio 1M: students, who have developed their project up to preliminary level, during this semester will continue the process of development especially from a construction, mechanical and economic point of view.
The laboratorio together with design has three other subjects: Tecnologia e della costruzione, della Fisica tecnica e dell’Estimo.
During the design studio, students are requested to engage in a continue research of architecture solutions, able to solve issues and problems posed by the different disciplines which are part of the Laboratorio. Sections and elevations, witha typical plan will be detailed as working drawings.
The design studio is organized in lectures on specific subject, design seminars and detailed discussions of the projects. The student work will be organized around a scheduled of in internal deadlines.

In the initial phase of the laboratory, during a series of lectures, a series of case studies will be analyzed, which can be used as a guideline for the design.
Subsequently, a series of specific references relating to the various aspects of the case studies projects will be provided.

These references will be available by accessing a shared Google drive of the Laboratorio.

For the detailed definition of the building project it is required that students acquire the specifications and construction guidelines of all the building components used

The Design Studio is the prosecution of previous Design Studio 1M. The project concluded there is the starting point of a new design experience more focused on tectonics and materiality.

The aim of the course is to provide all the appropriate tools for students to manage design relations between materials, building elements, working techniques, requirements and regulations involved since the concept design.
All that fully aware of the strong link between typological-stylish features and technological-architectural ones of the building conceived as a whole of interrelated and organized parts, according to a systemic and performance design approach.

The aim of the Building Technology Module is to provide all the appropriate tools for students to manage design relations between materials, building elements, working techniques, requirements and regulations involved since the concept design. All that fully aware of the strong link between typological-stylish features and technological-architectural ones of the building conceived as a whole of interrelated and organized parts, according to a systemic and performance design approach.
To this end, the program is divided into three parts:
1_in the first part, and with reference to examples of contemporary architecture, the main technological solutions are examined with particular attention to structural elements (foundations, vertical and horizontal structures, floors) and envelope;
2 in the second part, manufacturers of building components will be asked to illustrate to the students the technical characteristics useful for the elaboration of the design project;
3_the third part will be dedicated to design project reviews.

In addition to the material that will be indicated by the teacher during the lessons, the following texts are indicated for the elaboration of the design project:

Aims
The design studio’s goals for the building construction design are to increase the students awareness of the complex transformation process of an architectural idea in a real building. The student competence to create coherence regarding content and design subject is our main aims.

Two main aspect will be investigated during the design development:
• analysys and verify the building features like, thermal aspects, air and water tightness, sun protection, ….
• detail design. The main part of the building will be developed till the working drawings scale.

BIM as a work tool. We use a BIM tool to control the project and also to evaluate it. BIM technology allow the integration of structural, construction an mechanics in the same file.

The Course of Real Estate Evaluation (REE) will be developed in parallel with the Course of Urban Markets and Real Estate Operators (UM&REO), of which, although it is not to be considered a constraint, the frequency is recommended. The context in which costs and prices of architecture are formed as a market product will be studied in depth during the UM&REO’s Course. In consideration of the specificity of the REE’s Course - specialist contribution to the work of Architectural Design Laboratories 2M - the contents of can be summarized as follows.
The Course is structured in four main conceptual sections:
i. The first section – Understanding the Project Development Process – simply explains the stages in the project development cycle, and the roles of the key players in the construction process.
ii. The second section – Initial Project Costs and Cost Varying Factors – explains the main elements in the initial cost estimate for a project as well as reviewing some of the many factors which lead to changes to the original estimate.
iii. The third section – Methods of Controlling Costs – discusses the way in which cost and time control of infrastructure projects can be improved by risk management and more realistic estimation of contingency budgets.
iv. The final section – An Approach to Cost Appraisal and Monitoring – provides a step-by-step guide to improved monitoring of the costs of architectural projects.

The final section – An Approach to Cost Appraisal and Monitoring – provides to the students a step-by-step guide to improved monitoring of the costs of the project developed inside the Laboratory.
In parallel with the in-depth analysis related to the formation of intervention costs, elements useful for estimating the real estate value of the designed works will be provided. With this second data family we will proceed with the development of the economic and financial feasibility study, verifying the plausibility and sustainability of the project in the market conditions characteristic of the time and place in which it takes shape.
