Prerequisites:

The Design 2 course is presented as a design exercise articulated and integrated into the study path of the fourth year, for which the knowledge of the basic historical disciplines, of the technical ones and of the knowledge of materials are considered fundamental prerequisites for enrollment in the course. than those of the science of representations. However, there are no binding prerequisites.

Objectives

The Design 2 course aims to acquire knowledge, skills, methods and tools to operate in all phases of the project for
the preparation of internal and external spaces, from project analysis activities to concept generation; from the hypotheses of articulation of the space to the phases of engineering of the same.
The training course aims to prepare a student who possesses both knowledge of methods and tools to orient himself and manage the processes of
space design, both the cultural sensitivities and the critical skills to act consciously in the socio-cultural, technological, productive and economic context in which the companies in the sector operate, with particular reference to that of marble and stone processing.
The Design 2 course is aimed at experimenting the convergence between the disciplines of design with those of the sciences of representation,
technologies of materials and the history of architecture and design. The course will provide the fundamental knowledge necessary for
simultaneous and interdependent control of the various design aspects: the technical-constructive one, the requirement-functional one and the compositional-formal one.
At the end of the course, students must have acquired the basic preparation relating to the knowledge and control of forms, uses, of
transformation materials and technologies, essential for understanding and controlling the relationship between idea, project and realization.

Contents

The Design Course 2 is aimed at preparing the student for the design of a set-up for a defined space, with particular attention to the use of materials in synergy with the environment in which the building is located. The student will be confronted with a space inscribed within an imaginary cube of 729 cubic meters (9m per side) in which to set up an "introspection room", a place where the user can relate to himself and to the spirituality in broader sense. The course is divided into three modules integrated with specific teaching activities that are organized throughout the entire semester. The first module includes theoretical lessons both on the themes of interior and exterior design and set-up, and on the main religions and therefore on the characteristics and peculiarities that the sacred place must have; in the second module there will be exercises related to the choice of the place in which to insert the product and the design phases, from the initial analysis to the concept, up to the engineering of the project; the third module includes in-depth activities and presentation of the project. Lessons, workshops and in-depth studies will be held by the teacher in charge of the course and by some external experts.

The Design Course 2 is aimed at preparing the student for the design of a set-up of a defined space, with particular attention to the use of materials in synergy with the environment in which the product is located. The student will be confronted with a space inscribed inside an imaginary cube of 729 cubic meters (9m per side) in which to set up an "introspection room", a place where the user can relate to himself and to the spirituality in broader sense. The course is divided into three integrated modules with specific teaching activities that are organized throughout the entire semester. The first module includes theoretical lessons both on the themes of interior and exterior design and set-up, and on the main religions and therefore on the characteristics and peculiarities that the sacred place must have; in the second module there will be exercises related to the choice of the place in which to insert the product and the design phases, from the initial analysis to the concept, up to the engineering of the project; the third module includes in-depth activities and representation of the project. Lessons, workshops and in-depth analyzes will be held by the teacher in charge of the course and by some external experts.

Design exercise / case study
The design exercise of the year for the Design 2 course is linked to the TIME IN STONE theme of the international exhibition THE ITALIAN STONE
THEATER, which will be set up next September in the spaces used for MARMOMAC 2021 - Verona

The theme of Stone and Time is a theme that affects the entire history of architecture, with particular reference to buildings of spirituality.
Students will measure themselves with this theme, trying to return it within a contemporary space. What most distinguishes natural stone from artificial products is time, an immaterial component held within the stone body by an indissoluble bond. The project will attempt to reveal this dimension of time, through the design of a space of the spirit, linking the immateriality of time with that of the soul.

Teaching Methods

The teaching activity of the course consists of:
• ex cathedra lessons concerning the theme and its theoretical framework relating to Design, held by the course owner.
• project insights related to specific aspects of the theme, presented by some guests invited to illustrate their work and research.
• thematic workshops, in relation to the different phases of the design activity, conducted by external experts together with the tutors and the course owner (according to the schedule provided by the course).
The course will be divided into different seminars, the design exercises will be followed by tutors together with the course owner according to the dates provided in the educational program. The exercises will be individual and will constitute the specific didactic activity of each seminar. In correspondence with the thematic workshops, collective exercises will be provided with the tutors with the course teacher and with the teachers invited to the workshop. Among the various activities of the course there are also in-depth workshops held by the tutors and the course owner, on the creation of models; on the elaboration of three-dimensional models, on the reading of design references, on materials and construction techniques.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

Progressive compulsory checks are foreseen according to the deadlines set by the didactic activities (and coinciding with the thematic workshops). Students are required to deliver the required documents according to the scheduled dates. The compulsory progressive checks are a guarantee to continue the activity within the seminars and for the acquisition of the attendance qualification which entitles you to take the exam within the time frame provided for in the course program.
The exam is intended as the last didactic delivery offered by the Course to the student. The exams will be held as scheduled. All students who have regularly attended the course will be entitled to take the exam on the fixed date. The examination commission will be made up of all the teachers of the course, by teachers invited by the course owner, by the tutors and by any external experts.

Contacts/More Information

The course lasts six months. Lessons, exercises and reviews will take place exclusively according to the didactic calendar. The exams are fixed by the calendar, beyond which no additional didactic activity will be carried out.
Attendance to educational activities is mandatory and in itself constitutes a guarantee of admission to taking the exam within the year. Students are allowed to take the exam in single form with the identification of design strategies developed in groups.
The course also includes the creation of the best prototypes (in agreement with some companies in the stone sector) and the opportunity to participate with the setting up of an exhibition space at the International Exhibition of Marbles and Machines to be held in Verona at the end of September.
The course owner is available at the following e-mail addresses: domenico.potenza@unich.it domenico.potenza@gmail.com.
Students who request it will be received, advised, after a simple online request, a few days before the application.
