Registered prerequisites (A.A. 2014/2015 and later).
For the courses of the same Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD) on more than one year, the examination relative to the subsequent discipline can not be taken if the examination relative to the previous one has not been passed.
Therefore, the Architectural Survey can not be taken if the examination of Descriptive Geometry has not been passed.

Objectives

The course of Architectural Survey B (8 cfu) aims to contribute to the education of the student in the control of space (real or imagined), through the mental construction of an interpretative model and its representation.

The refinement of the capacity for understanding and communicating space - be it real or imagined - takes place through the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge derived from the different teachings that define the disciplines of Design that can be traced back to the four founding areas of the discipline:
- History (History of Representation)
- Geometry (Descriptive Geometry)
- Project (Design of Architecture)
- Survey (Architectural Survey)
Part of these issues have been the subject of the first annuity.

The expected learning outcomes concern:
- awareness of the role and significance of the historical evolution of architectural communication;
- recognition and analysis of architectural values through representation methods;
- the acquisition and practice of methods of investigation aimed at critical knowledge of the spatial object according to a process that allows us to retrace the design process backwards.

Contents

In continuity with the teachings of Drawing the first year of the Single Cycle Master Degree (5 years) in Architecture, the main objective of the Architectural Survey Course B (8 CFU) in the first semester (Prof. Antonella Salucci) is the acquisition of the theoretical applicative tools necessary to understand, measure, conceive and represent the architectural space.

The didactic planning of the course is divided into three main cognitive-processing fields:

- Architectural and Environmental Surveying;
- Digital technologies for architectural and urban surveying;
- Design and Photography.

These three thematic didactic area form a single teaching, Architectural Survey B (8 cfu), which corresponds to a single final evaluation.

PREMISE

The didactics of Drawing in Architecture courses pursues the objective of educating the student in the control of space through the mental construction of an interpretive MODEL.
As we know, these understandings are codified and laid at the foundation of the disciplines of architectural representation by Gaspard Monge who published in 1799 the treatise on "Descriptive Geometry": (...) provide the methods to represent on a piece of paper from a design that has only two dimensions, that is, length and width, all the bodies of nature that have three dimensions, length, width and depth, taking care that these can however be strictly defined (...). [Gaspard Monge, 1799]

The course of Architectural Surveying B (8cfu) has as its objective the refinement of these skills of understanding and communication of space (real or imagined) through the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge derived from different teachings that decline the disciplines of Drawing .
THESE TEACHINGS ARE RECONDABLE TO FOUR FOUNDATION AREAS:
HISTORY | GEOMETRY | PROJECT | SURVEY.
1_The "History of the Representation", educates the student to the understanding and control of the space, as it provides the knowledge on the role and significance of the historical evolution of the communication of architecture.
2_The "Descriptive Geometry", educates the student to understand and control the space, through the study of models and methods of representation provides the knowledge necessary to understand, measure, conceive and represent the three dimensions of space in the two dimensions.
3_The "Drawing for Design", educates the student to understand and control the space, through the exercise of the recognition, analysis and expression of the values of architecture.
4_The «Survey Drawing», educates the student to the understanding and control of the space, through the acquisition and the practice of methods of investigation that allow the deep knowledge of the spatial object, a process that allows to retrace the design process.

COURSE CONTENT
On the basis of the knowledge already acquired by the student of the second annuity is conducted a training course that provides the theoretical-applicative knowledge necessary to investigate, understand, measure, conceive and represent urban and architectural spaces.
The Surveying Architecture SURVEYING ARCHITECTURE course takes place in didactic continuity with the teachings of the first year, DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY, and is a prelude to the third year of the DRAWING ARCHITECTURE discipline, in which the expressive potential of the representation is further explored also in the light of the most recent digital contaminations.

Teaching Methods

The Architectural Survey B course is organized according to a teaching methodology divided into modules of lectures and workshops.

During the year the students divided into working groups, will have to undergo the guidance of the teacher, to carry out a relevant theme on a piece of the city with particular attention to its inclusion in the urban context and to the characteristic architectural emergencies.
The survey includes - on the basis of a preliminary survey project - the historical analysis, the detection and the restitution of the study area through the realization of elaborations according to appropriate scales of reduction of the plants, the elevations, the sections, the necessary and sufficient details to provide a complete and exhaustive description of the formal and structural characteristics of the architectural object.

The exam will focus on a possible graphic test and an oral test.
In the oral examination the candidates will exhibit the themes developed during the year and will have to answer questions concerning the program carried out in the theoretical lessons. The exercises are mandatory.

The individual student requires his own work equipment for drawing exercises (analog) in class or outside.
Evaluations of the verifications are indispensable, which together with a set of graphic drawings (weekly exercises) made by the student and checked periodically by the teacher, give access to the final exam with partial vote.

The vote given to the Architectural Survey (8 credits) is the synthesis of the theoretical and practical preparation matured by the student in the three thematic teaching modules that characterize the teaching.

In the final interview the student will have to show, therefore, a suitable degree of knowledge of the theoretical and practical knowledge related to the three modules attended through the discussion of some characterizing theoretical themes. The interview foresees the recognition in the elaboration of the working group of the individual contribution.
The evaluation of the exam is individual.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The final evaluation of the Architectural Survey Course B consists of the weighted average of the assessments acquired by the student regarding:
- exercises done;
- elaboration of the annual theme;
- intermediate checks;
- individual oral exam on the cycle of lessons.

Contacts/More Information

In the disciplinary organization of the Single Cycle Master Degree in Architecture the disciplines of the DRAWING area - SSD ICAR 17 Drawing - are distributed in the first three years - Descriptive Geometry (1st year); Architectural Survey (2nd year); Design of Architecture (3rd year) - to converge to the 5th year at the end of the cycle of studies in the DEGREE LABORATORY - CONSERVATION AND REPRESENTATION PROJECT / Design Conservation and Representation) - in which the design areas are mainly developed, conservation and design with reference to the knowledge of the history of architecture, restoration and representation, assuming as a determining value the relationship with the historical and cultural heritage and with digital technologies.
