95753 - Elements of Design and CAD P

Learning outcomes

The main purpose of the course is to offer knowledge through a common language that allows access to building issues in the construction aspects in the disciplinary reciprocity and construction technique of building. The course is divided into two phases, the first imparts the fundamentals of Descriptive Geometry, the second provides knowledge relating to technical drawing which determines the relationships between the productivity of thought in the formation of spatial configurations and the means of control such as the representation codes for multi-scale drawings. The problems of building representation will therefore be addressed with the aim of leading the student towards a conscious use of the material and conceptual tools of drawing, which allow the formal, graphic - geometric and material control of the drawing - project and subsequently, the morphological, constructive and "historical" analysis of the drawn - completed work. With particular attention the drawing - drawing - follows the epistemological aspects of knowledge considering with specific reflection the question of conservation related to the recovery of buildings.

Course contents

The program covers both the fundamentals of Descriptive Geometry and multiscale Technical Drawing. We will examine theoretical arguments applied to cases found on pragmatic issues deduced from building construction, while for another aspect the program refers to representation; will address the links between the areas of codified drawing and the construction rules that govern the building drawing. Furthermore, some practical tests will follow relating to the acquisition of the building, survey operations, graphically and geometrically returning codified models relating to the whole and part of the architectural - building organism with the prescription of documents referring to construction details of the building. The fundamentals of applications with the use of AutoCAD software will allow the student to complete a conceptual and subsequently application process inherent to automated drawing through the use of the aforementioned software. Below will be reported in the detailed program the training objectives, the teaching methods, the notes, which belong to the coordinated and stabilized scientific, ontological and ethical disciplinary practice also defined by the experience of the Degree course in Tecniche per l'Edilizia e il Territorio.

Teaching methods

The course of Elements of Drawing and CAD P. whose attendance is essential given the prevalent experimental character, is divided into ex-cathedra lessons, communications and exercises and develops three teaching sectors in close mutual correlation: theoretical reflection, technical information and practical application.

The lessons will address the basic disciplinary notions relating to the fundamental geometric concepts, methods and tools of representation, the transposition of the experience from traditional drawing with tracing tools and digital with the AutoCAD software, while the application exercises will cover all the topics covered in the course.

 

 

Assessment methods

 

The Elements of Drawing and CAD P. course, which is mandatory due to its predominantly experimental nature, is structured through lectures, presentations, and exercises. It develops three closely interrelated teaching areas: theoretical reflection, technical information, and practical application.

Lectures will address the basic disciplinary notions relating to fundamental geometric concepts, methods and tools of representation, and the transfer of experience from traditional drawing with tracing tools to digital drawing with AutoCAD software. The applied exercises will cover all the topics covered in the course.

- Theory (Thinking)
Disciplinary foundations. Visual perception and projective space. Geometric structures of space.

- Technique (Structure)
Plane geometry; Projective and descriptive geometry. Drawing codes and standards, and CAD: drawing of particulars and construction details.

- Practice (Application)
The exercises, framed by specific introductory explanations, are designed as essential opportunities for applying the theoretical and technical topics covered. They aim to develop the necessary executive skills and to give meaning to graphic, geometric, and constructive production as a place of critical mediation between theoretical propositions and the practice of construction. Each exercise is given a period for supervised completion and correction, after which any discussion is considered concluded and transferred directly to the exams.

- Objectives (Results)
Upon completion of the Elements of Drawing and CAD P. course, students will be able to control the computerized representation of a building project according to current professional requirements.

Teaching tools

Some exercises with the initials "E" are planned during the module, followed by the progressive number of the assigned topic. The so-called short exercises must be performed, completed during the Semester and submitted for evaluation on the verification dates set out in the course calendar. These evaluations certify active attendance at the course and contribute to the formulation of the overall grade at the end of the semester. Each text relating to the exercise will be made available to the student.

The theme of the annual exercise concerns the collection of tables, i.e. the creation of a repertoire of elements, parts, construction systems relating to the creation of a sort of manual. This experience carried out during the Academic Year will be performed both by hand with the use of tracing tools and with the use of AutoCAD software.

All exercises are individual; the overall judgment on the preparation and work carried out by the student will be unique, of which at least a passing grade must be achieved. Admission to the exams and the method of carrying them out is subject to the preliminary evaluation of all the exercises (repertoire tables) required by the course. The files in dwg formats; ctb; stb; pdf: any jpg or tif must be submitted on the delivery date set for the exam sessions. At the exam session the Student will submit all the short exercises completed during the semester and the paper (printout) relating to the annual exercise (EA).

The Annual Exercise (EA) dissertation is essential to certify the student's preparation.
