Course contents
HISTORY AND PROJECT
The course is about the relation between historical knowledge and design process in architectonic culture from the Enlightenment to these days. The course is organized in 11 modules.
Each module is composed by:
- main overview lesson
- required exercises and study visits
For the exam two exercises are required:
1. Analysis of a built work of architecture (chosen in a given list)
The analysis will be done individually or in groups (3 students maximum).
The analysis must be based on given documentation and on a visit on site. Guidelines will be: timeline, design themes, construction and materials.
The expected results of the exercise are:
- a form based on supplied model
- a short paper
- a poster.
2. Time lines about main events and subjects discussed during the course.
3. Notebook with drawings of main projects presented during the course.
