Università Roma Tre

The Course of the Project Feasibility will extend the horizon to the ways and themes for a realistic, concrete and convincing "final design and, therefore, enforceable". This exclusive benefit of the debate under way for a possible market of contemporary figure of the architect: "an intellectual learned," an independent professional, paid-in control of the market from the aspect of promotion and expert assessment of the housing stock and environmental knowledge of architecture and city projects, production building and construction industry.

The course aims to promote a culture of the project focused at improving the interaction between the building and the environment;
This improvement can be achieved through a design approach very careful to environmental issues, with particular attention to the question of the energetic behavior of the building.

After exploring the logic and design strategies for the improvement of comfort, the student will explore the trends for the evolution of the building process.

The aim of the course is to provide students, a good knowledge of all aspects relating to
the implementation Naval Architecture in the design.
The complexity and interdependence of the topic with many other disciplines makes this
area one of the most fertile areas of design research in a variety of aspects: one related
to the shape and performance as well as that relating to technology and construction.

IN THIS CLASS, STUDENTS EXPERIMENT WITH THE NEW DESIGN TECHNIQUES LINKED TO DIFFUSION OF NEW INSTRUMENTS OF PARAMETRIC MODELLING, DIRECTLY LINKED TO ANALYSIS AND DIGITAL MANUFACTURING TOOLS. THE AIM IS TO EXPOSE THEM TO THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL PROFILES BRINGED BY NEW INSTRUMENTS. THIS IS DONE THROUGH LECTURES, A SELECTION OF PROJECTS, BUT ALSO MEETINGS IN PERSON WITH COMPANIES AND PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE NEW FIELDS, THROUGH DEDICATED SEMINARS. THE KEY IS THAT AT THE SAME TIME STUDENTS HAVE A DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF THE INSTRUMENTS BY USING THEM IN THE CLASS. THROUGH THEIR OWN WORK, THE LINKS WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES IN A SHARED WEB PLATFORM, AND THE LINK WITH OTHER PARALLEL CLASSES, ALLOWED BY THE COURSE. IN THIS WAY, THE COURSE AIMS AT HAVING THEM UNDERSTAND THROUGHOUT AND WITHIN THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE,
THE NEW PRODUCTION METHODS OF CONTEMPORARY ENLARGED DESIGN TEAMS, WHERE PROJECTS ARE DEVELOPED PASSING SEAMLESSLY FROM DIGITAL MODELING OF CONSTRUCTIVE COMPONENTS AND OF THEIR ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE TO PRECISE CONTROL OVER DESIGN GEOMETRY, STRUCTURAL AND ENERGY ANALYSIS, UP TO DIGITAL MANUFACTURING OF THE FINAL OUTCOMES.

THE COURSE IS PROPOSED TO SUPPLY TO THE STUDENTS ALL OF THE TOOLS SUITABLE FOR THE PLANNING
OF THE LANDSCAPE TO LEAVE FROM THE TERRITORIAL SCALE UNTIL TO ARRIVE THE ARCHITECTURAL ONE.

ALL IT IS MARKED
TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A METHODOLOGY IN A POSITION TO UNDERTAKE ATTEMPTS TO TERRITORIAL CONNECTIONS TO LEAVE FROM THE DETERMINATION OF PLACES AND STRUCTURES BELONGING TO THE MAN AND TO ITS "TO MARK" THE LAND. TO THE INSIDE OF THIS PROCESS WILL BE CLARIFIED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ROLE OF THE ANCIENT IN THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PRODUCTION OF THE ARTIFICIAL.THIS COMPLEXITY, OF WHICH THE "MYTH" CONSTITUTES FUNDAMENTAL PART, WILL BE PROPOSAL LIKE MATRIX OF THE CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTION. IT WILL BE THE SAME METHOD, A TIME BUILT, TO GUARANTEE A PLANNING IN INTIMATE CONNECTION WITH THE LANDSCAPE.

For the formation of an architect to be complete one must develop a vision of the processes that lead to the concretisation of an idea, a project or a city plan. The complexity of local structures requires close integration between design knowledge and the ability to implement the design. This entails a chain of actions tied up with regulatory aspects, funding and economic mechanisms, as well as the impact on the community and on public opinion. City transformations and a good quality of life also depend on the continuous management of systems (from mobility to the environment) for which social demand varies considerably over time. The course sets out to:
• provide cognitive elements regarding the mechanisms behind the formation of the urban structure and relative management tools (feasibility studies, financing, marketing and communication), and systems for sizing and measuring demand for architectural initiatives and new city functions;
• prepare students to simulate an actual feasibility study for an urban project that has already been undertaken.

The lectures cover a wide field of applications where Finite Element
method (FEM) can be applied, conforming to the following outline:
1) linear algebra and analysis aimed at introducing the FE method;
2) linear elastic analysis of both 1D and 2D structures;
3) collapse analysis within perfect plasticity.

The course proposes to improve in the students the attitude of creating instruments useful to develop an operative connection between the observation of the existent and the design architecture of the new.

Personal and different for each one, such instruments depend from what each person is capable of getting from the observation of the architectures and of the ways in which these are used and lived. The observation is therefore referred at the interior and the exterior in the relationship sometimes contradictory and sometimes complementary is established among them.

Therefore the objective historical and documented existence of the observed architectural works becomes mere appearance and the observations becomes objective substance and then personal heritage.

Such kind of observation is based on a phenomenological approach that looks for the substantial what actually appears to us.

The course examines twentieth century architecture and urbanism beginning with an analysis of the architectural movements that introduced new spatial forms in Europe and America during the first decade of the 1900s

The course aims at offering the students a chance to gain a deeper knowledge of ancient architecture, in particular that of Imperial Rome, through a didactic strategy that considers both a historical process-based outlook (crucial in an architect’s background), and more practical design-based aspects, such as building or representation techniques, typology, and the architectural language of ancient buildings.

The knowledge of historic architecture is very important to help the students improve their capacity of understanding the buildings and their design and technical features; this knowledge is gained through the study of the whole of buildings’ motivations, historic context and design features. The wide variety of courses dealing with history of architecture comes from this conviction.
The course of History of Architecture and Methods of Analysis aims at critically retracing the composition process -either ideological, methodical or procedural- at the basis of every architecture; it is directed towards the students of the fifth year of course, that are already aware of the role that history of architecture plays in the design process. In particular, the very role of history in relation to architectural design during centuries is at the basis of the disciplinary orientation meant for the topics at hand, avoiding to take into account the use of simple stylistic issues as repertoire-catalogue and preferring the methodological lesson from the past.
Once the intention of considering above all the historical evolution of the design method has been stated, the language will be dealt with closely during the classes, together with the programmatic criteria and the motivations -even ideological- found in the period of time between the Fifteen century and today.

The studio propose an experience ogf a phenomenological analysis of the actual city trough a relational, artistic and disciplinary approach

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO KNOW AND USE LIGHT IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, CAPTURING THEIR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP.

The purposes are to learn the basis of graphic design and to menage the relatioship between writings and images.

The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge about the representation of the urban environment, both natural and artificial one, through digital cartographic documentation, which is a Geographic Information System. Starting with some general information about the maps, both historical and modern ones, it will provide the tools for a correct analysis and interpretation of the map document and methods for implementing and managing a GIS.

THE AIM IS TO CREATE A LINK BETWEEN DESIGN AND PRODUCT.
STARTING FROM A DEFINED PROJECT THE STUDENTS WILL BE LEAD TO PRODUCE A PROTOTYPE THROUGH THE FEEDBACK INFORMATIONS ON THE CONSTRUCTION TECNOLOGY.

WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE STUDENT’S SENSITIVITY ON THE FUNCTIONAL AND PROCEEDING CAUSES OF SHAPE IN DESIGN

The course confronts current issues related to the restoration and conservation of cultural heritage, at the international level.

1) linear algebra and analysis aimed at introducing the FE method;
2) linear elastic analysis of both 1D and 2D structures;
3) collapse analysis within perfect plasticity.

The course proposes to improve in the students the attitude of creating instruments useful to develop an operative connection between the observation of the existent and the design architecture of the new.

Personal and different for each one, such instruments depend from what each person is capable of getting from the observation of the architectures and of the ways in which these are used and lived. The observation is therefore referred at the interior and the exterior in the relationship sometimes contradictory and sometimes complementary is established among them.

Therefore the objective historical and documented existence of the observed architectural works becomes mere appearance and the observations becomes objective substance and then personal heritage.

Such kind of observation is based on a phenomenological approach that looks for the substantial what actually appears to us.

The course examines twentieth century architecture and urbanism beginning with an analysis of the architectural movements that introduced new spatial forms in Europe and America during the first decade of the 1900s

The course aims at offering the students a chance to gain a deeper knowledge of ancient architecture, in particular that of Imperial Rome, through a didactic strategy that considers both a historical process-based outlook (crucial in an architect’s background), and more practical design-based aspects, such as building or representation techniques, typology, and the architectural language of ancient buildings.

The knowledge of historic architecture is very important to help the students improve their capacity of understanding the buildings and their design and technical features; this knowledge is gained through the study of the whole of buildings’ motivations, historic context and design features. The wide variety of courses dealing with history of architecture comes from this conviction.
The course of History of Architecture and Methods of Analysis aims at critically retracing the composition process -either ideological, methodical or procedural- at the basis of every architecture; it is directed towards the students of the fifth year of course, that are already aware of the role that history of architecture plays in the design process. In particular, the very role of history in relation to architectural design during centuries is at the basis of the disciplinary orientation meant for the topics at hand, avoiding to take into account the use of simple stylistic issues as repertoire-catalogue and preferring the methodological lesson from the past.
Once the intention of considering above all the historical evolution of the design method has been stated, the language will be dealt with closely during the classes, together with the programmatic criteria and the motivations -even ideological- found in the period of time between the Fifteen century and today.

The studio propose an experience ogf a phenomenological analysis of the actual city trough a relational, artistic and disciplinary approach

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO KNOW AND USE LIGHT IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, CAPTURING THEIR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP.

The purposes are to learn the basis of graphic design and to menage the relatioship between writings and images.

The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge about the representation of the urban environment, both natural and artificial one, through digital cartographic documentation, which is a Geographic Information System. Starting with some general information about the maps, both historical and modern ones, it will provide the tools for a correct analysis and interpretation of the map document and methods for implementing and managing a GIS.

THE AIM IS TO CREATE A LINK BETWEEN DESIGN AND PRODUCT.
STARTING FROM A DEFINED PROJECT THE STUDENTS WILL BE LEAD TO PRODUCE A PROTOTYPE THROUGH THE FEEDBACK INFORMATIONS ON THE CONSTRUCTION TECNOLOGY.

WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE STUDENT’S SENSITIVITY ON THE FUNCTIONAL AND PROCEEDING CAUSES OF SHAPE IN DESIGN

The course confronts current issues related to the restoration and conservation of cultural heritage, at the international level.

The Course of the Project Feasibility will extend the horizon to the ways and themes for a realistic, concrete and convincing "final design and, therefore, enforceable". This exclusive benefit of the debate under way for a possible market of contemporary figure of the architect: "an intellectual learned," an independent professional, paid-in control of the market from the aspect of promotion and expert assessment of the housing stock and environmental knowledge of architecture and city projects, production building and construction industry.

The course aims to promote a culture of the project focused at improving the interaction between the building and the environment;
This improvement can be achieved through a design approach very careful to environmental issues, with particular attention to the question of the energetic behavior of the building.

After exploring the logic and design strategies for the improvement of comfort, the student will explore the trends for the evolution of the building process.

The aim of the course is to provide students, a good knowledge of all aspects relating to
the implementation Naval Architecture in the design.
The complexity and interdependence of the topic with many other disciplines makes this
area one of the most fertile areas of design research in a variety of aspects: one related
to the shape and performance as well as that relating to technology and construction.

IN THIS CLASS, STUDENTS EXPERIMENT WITH THE NEW DESIGN TECHNIQUES LINKED TO DIFFUSION OF NEW INSTRUMENTS OF PARAMETRIC MODELLING, DIRECTLY LINKED TO ANALYSIS AND DIGITAL MANUFACTURING TOOLS. THE AIM IS TO EXPOSE THEM TO THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL PROFILES BRINGED BY NEW INSTRUMENTS. THIS IS DONE THROUGH LECTURES, A SELECTION OF PROJECTS, BUT ALSO MEETINGS IN PERSON WITH COMPANIES AND PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE NEW FIELDS, THROUGH DEDICATED SEMINARS. THE KEY IS THAT AT THE SAME TIME STUDENTS HAVE A DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF THE INSTRUMENTS BY USING THEM IN THE CLASS. THROUGH THEIR OWN WORK, THE LINKS WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES IN A SHARED WEB PLATFORM, AND THE LINK WITH OTHER PARALLEL CLASSES, ALLOWED BY THE COURSE. IN THIS WAY, THE COURSE AIMS AT HAVING THEM UNDERSTAND THROUGHOUT AND WITHIN THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE,
THE NEW PRODUCTION METHODS OF CONTEMPORARY ENLARGED DESIGN TEAMS, WHERE PROJECTS ARE DEVELOPED PASSING SEAMLESSLY FROM DIGITAL MODELING OF CONSTRUCTIVE COMPONENTS AND OF THEIR ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE TO PRECISE CONTROL OVER DESIGN GEOMETRY, STRUCTURAL AND ENERGY ANALYSIS, UP TO DIGITAL MANUFACTURING OF THE FINAL OUTCOMES.

THE COURSE IS PROPOSED TO SUPPLY TO THE STUDENTS ALL OF THE TOOLS SUITABLE FOR THE PLANNING
OF THE LANDSCAPE TO LEAVE FROM THE TERRITORIAL SCALE UNTIL TO ARRIVE THE ARCHITECTURAL ONE.

ALL IT IS MARKED
TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A METHODOLOGY IN A POSITION TO UNDERTAKE ATTEMPTS TO TERRITORIAL CONNECTIONS TO LEAVE FROM THE DETERMINATION OF PLACES AND STRUCTURES BELONGING TO THE MAN AND TO ITS "TO MARK" THE LAND. TO THE INSIDE OF THIS PROCESS WILL BE CLARIFIED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ROLE OF THE ANCIENT IN THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PRODUCTION OF THE ARTIFICIAL.THIS COMPLEXITY, OF WHICH THE "MYTH" CONSTITUTES FUNDAMENTAL PART, WILL BE PROPOSAL LIKE MATRIX OF THE CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTION. IT WILL BE THE SAME METHOD, A TIME BUILT, TO GUARANTEE A PLANNING IN INTIMATE CONNECTION WITH THE LANDSCAPE.

For the formation of an architect to be complete one must develop a vision of the processes that lead to the concretisation of an idea, a project or a city plan. The complexity of local structures requires close integration between design knowledge and the ability to implement the design. This entails a chain of actions tied up with regulatory aspects, funding and economic mechanisms, as well as the impact on the community and on public opinion. City transformations and a good quality of life also depend on the continuous management of systems (from mobility to the environment) for which social demand varies considerably over time. The course sets out to:
• provide cognitive elements regarding the mechanisms behind the formation of the urban structure and relative management tools (feasibility studies, financing, marketing and communication), and systems for sizing and measuring demand for architectural initiatives and new city functions;
• prepare students to simulate an actual feasibility study for an urban project that has already been undertaken.
