The course aims at learning the scientific foundations of representation, i.e. the study of the theory and applications of Descriptive Geometry, with particular reference to its 4 traditional methods - orthogonal projections, axonometric projection, perspective, quoted projections -, considered in the context of the history of architectural representation and as a function of subsequent teachings relating to architectural survey and project design.
Additional teaching objectives include: the knowledge and ability to understand basic drawing concepts; the fundamental knowledge in the field of architectural representation; the study of shadow theory; the basics of digital drawing.
In addition, the course is coordinated (residential theme) with the courses of History of Architecture 1, Architectural Composition 1, Materials and Design of Building Elements.
