Adjunct professor

University of Bologna – Alma Mater Studiorum
Dipartimento di Architettura, Via Saragozza, 8, 40136 Bologna

Responsibility for the course “Methods for The Representation and Modelling of The City and Territory”, part of the integrated laboratory “The City and Territory values Lab” within the international master’s degree programme “Architecture and Creative Practices for the City and Landscape”.

The course summarizes the fundamentals of the discipline, from descriptive geometry to relief and visual communication. The representation is used as a tool for analysis and communication of the project with different analog and/or digital techniques, with the aim of presenting the relationship between the architectural project and the way it is represented, through drawing, in the different phases that characterize it and in the multiple communicative needs that this imposes.
