THE PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP ARE INTENDED FOR THE STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS AND KNOWLEDGE TO CHECK THE DESIGN OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING, TO DEVELOP THE BEST EXPERTISE IN CRITICAL ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY THE MOST PROPER CONSTRUCTION CHOICES.
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LABORATORY IS AIMED TO DEVELOP CRITICAL AWARENESS TO THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE FUNCTIONAL SUITABILITY, THE EXPRESSIVE COHERENCE, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CONTEXT, BOTH FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE ENVIRONMENT, THAT FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF ENERGY, AND THE CHOICES OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES.
STUDENTS ARE DRIVEN TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF DESIGN STRATEGIES TRADITIONAL OR INNOVATIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES, AIMED TO THE DEFINITION OF A SYNERGY BETWEEN THE SHAPE OF THE BUILDING AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL CULTURE AND THE OPTIMIZATION OF ITS ENERGY BEHAVIOR, ALWAYS KEEPING THE CONTROL OF THE MORPHOLOGY, OF THE ORIENTATION AND OF THE MATERIALS.

The laboratory introduces the issues related to the building construction and technological experimentation in architectural design, paying attention to:
• the reasons and ways of construction in the technological evolution of architectural production,
• the building element configuration and techniques (bricks and blocks, concrete, laminated wood, steel, glass, ecc.) as a basic level to explore innovative technological solutions,
• simple design problems to be developed and evaluated from the construction point of view.
The information contributions provided by the teaching in the workshop are connected with the “information need” driven by the student’s design activity.
To this end, some practical activities of the Laboratory will be carried on the on-site construction school in Pomezia.

The Construction Laboratory aims to provide students with basic concepts and simple knowledge of building elements design and to let them develop critical competence in selecting the most appropriate technique. The activity focuses on developing critical awareness of the interactions between functional adequacy, expressive coherence, environmental and energy context, and the choice of materials and constructive techniques.
Students are guided by the identification of traditional or innovative design strategies aimed at defining a synergy between the form of the building as an architectural expression of its context and the optimization of its energy behaviour by governing morphology, orientation, materials, transparencies, and stratigraphy of the envelopes that define the spaces.
