Course contents
The module offers a theoretical and practical support to the Laboratorio di Progettazione Architettonica II; it provides a critical overview of knowledge about the typological and distributive features of the buildings. The teaching activity begins with the definitions of the architectural models and of the character of the single housing units for then analysing its multiple articulations within the urban texture and within a specific place, emphasising the methods of occupation of the soil and the shaping of the housing block.
The lectures explores a summary of knowledge about the notions of character, typology and morphology, as a logical and transmissible architectural framework. The module focuses on the dialectic between architecture and the city, on the relationship between typology and morphology, through the definition of the architectural type and the dwelling character, on the possible urban aggregations and on public and private space relations.

Teaching methods
The teaching module develops through face-to-face lectures focusing on the intrinsic relationship between the idea of the type and the urban form, considering the city as a dialectical outcome between form and type and its possible variations. The lectures focus on the method to understand the urban fabric through analytical schemes and constant elements.
Assessment methods
Group discussions in the lecture room will assess the comprehension of individual lectures.
