Objectives

The Drawing is a training discipline oriented to the communication of graphic thought in the making, in this regard students will be methodologically oriented to the knowledge of the theoretical and applicative tools necessary to understand, measure, conceive and represent the built space, through the theoretical principles and suitable operating systems.
The various theoretical-operative components form the basis of the graphic-visual representation of the existing and the project. In order to give a wide and diversified framework of the discipline, so that it can be of help to the future professional activity, it is necessary to consider the codes of the technical drawing.

Contents

The Course of Drawing and Representation, belonging to the SSD ICAR 17, is the foundation and support of the disciplines in which representation for the built and for the project constitute the means of communication, for this reason it is placed between the training disciplines of the first year. The course consists essentially of three integrated parts: Descriptive Geometry, Architectural Survey, Topography. The first 60-hour module will be carried out by prof. Pasquale Tunzi, the second 60-hour module by prof. Caterina Palestini, and another hours of Topography.
The course of Drawing and Representation 1 (6 cfu) deals with the issues of Descriptive Geometry and technical representation with the following main topics:
1) Rules for technical drawing
2) Dimensioned plane method
3) Double Orthogonal Projections
4) Axonometry
5) Perspective
6) Shadows

To these are added:
7) Basic Topography

Extended Syllabus

The course of Drawing and Representation consists of lectures and theoretical exercises of Descriptive Geometry, aid to technical representation, and similar theoretical communications and operational exercises on the Surveying of architecture. The aim of the Course is to provide students with the appropriate tools for an appropriate representation of the existing and what can be conceived, with the help of the three main geometric models that result, by convention, those applied in the representation of the built and the environment. The practical exercises to be developed in the classroom will have a counterpart, at home, that the students will have to carry out and deliver periodically to the teacher. These are flanked by three final tables, in relation to the three geometric models, which will have as their subject a building of Contemporary Architecture of the last forty years agreed with the teacher.
The main theoretical topics of the lessons of Descriptive Geometry are: Double orthogonal projections; Assonometries; Perspectives; Shadows. It will also examine level of practical skills, codes and standards to be applied to the drawing of the existing and the project, in order to make students understand the value of the technical representation, both traditional, handmade, and computer, through the use of reduction scales.

During the course of the Descriptive Geometry part, students will be asked individually, at three different times in the cycle, to verify their theoretical knowledge.
Within this part a short form of Topography will be developed, whose topics are: Trigonometry, Geodesy, Measurement theory, Planimetric survey. The acquisition of the knowledge of Topography will be checked immediately at the end of the form by means of an examination with a vote that will average with that of the final exam. Reference texts: Topography dispenses with related texts.
To better address the different parts of the Course, students are advised to equip themselves with material and tools to carry out the graphic elaborations that will be collected in a folder. All the materials produced must undergo periodic revision, in order to improve them and to allow the student a greater awareness of the representative methods, and will be delivered to the final interview. Also for the materials produced within the Architectural Survey module there will be periodic reviews with progressive advances and corrections of the graphic drawings that will be delivered together with the year theme, in paper format and on digital support, at the final interview. The latter will consist in the verification of the theoretical knowledge related to Descriptive Geometry and Architectural Survey, that is in the critical explanation of the presented materials, and the votes of both will make media with that of the Topography interview.

Teaching Methods

Lessons will be held with the aid of slides, and exercises that students will develop individually in the classroom with the help of traditional tools and computers. The materials produced (sketches, notes, photographs, drawings, modeling, technical tables, etc.) will constitute, together with those produced at home, exam support. It will therefore be essential to subject them to periodic verification by the teachers to be finally delivered to the examination in the double format (paper and digital). To the lessons in the classroom are added the time to be used at home for the development of three geometric tables whose subject, to be agreed with the teacher, is generally a building of contemporary architecture.
The Topography lessons will be held in the classroom and with the help of technical tools for understanding the basic principles.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

In the Descriptive Geometry module, during the lessons, three tests are necessary to understand the level of learning of theoretical issues. In addition, the dates of delivery of three tables will be set for the three models of Geometry applied to a building of contemporary architecture designed by a master of architecture over the last 40 years.
There are also weekly meetings to review the products and resolve doubts on theoretical issues. For each contact there is the site: https://elearning.unich.it/course/view.php?id=142 .
At the end of the Topography module, examination dates will be set up to verify the knowledge of the discipline.
The interview to be held at the end of the course in Drawing and Representation 1 will consist in verifying the theoretical knowledge relating to Descriptive Geometry. The grade will average with the one obtained from the Topography interview and finally, after having done the module of Drawing and Representation 2 (Prof. Caterina Palestini), with the latter.

Contacts/More Information

Students should be provided with all the materials and tools necessary to follow the lessons and carry out the exercises.
At the end of the course it will be inserted a few hours of Topography will be inserted, necessary to understand the morphological and environmental aspects in which to intervene. The topography module will end with an examination that the students will have to undergo before facing the final verification.
