The course has as its primary objective the learning and application of theDRAWING aimed at therendering of architectural survey,and of themethodologies of architectonic survey.
The theme of ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN survey is dealt starting with History and with theoretical concepts.
We don’t neglect at the same time the most general aspects but fundamental in urban and regional planning.
Particular attention will be given to the communication of the survey results, according to the principles of inclusivity.
The production of the graphic papers will then be studied and tested from the tactile point of view.
In the belief that the architectural survey is indispensable for any recovery, redevelopment, building restoration, the student must acquire the ability to develop a product detailed and complex, with correct measurement procedures and criteria for graphic rendering.
For this reason, the teaching is structured in lectures and practical classes, followed by some exercises of survey that develop during all the course.
The first part of the lectures tackling the subject of survey, developing it in all its possible specializations: from urban and landscape-environmental surveying to the architectural one for restoration building interventions, complete with investigations on degradation and color, to studies, catalogues or researches.
We’ll deep the important role of photography, a tool much rilevant.
You will be able to tackle the problems of cataloguing to be prepared for the planning of city centers, the theories of Muratori and Kevin Lynch, as well as the territorial readings. Special attention will be given to the definition of the characteristics of the landscape, also in relationship with the recent legislation about it.
A second part of the lessons deals with the analysis of architectural elements typical of the architecture, especially the historical one: floors, roofs, stairs, porticos, defining the geometric - constructive and technological aspects, especially addressing the problems of their representation at various scales.
The practical lessons take place directly at the assigned themes. This is developed using the method of direct survey, with simple tools (meter stick, double decameter, reeds metrics, level, plumb line) and with the photographic instrument.
The work is done by groups of students and the graphic rendering is done both with CAD and with traditional techniques.
