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 foreseen in the didactic program. The exercises will be individual and will constitute the specific teaching activity of each seminar.

Objectives
Contents The second year course of Architectural Design is aimed at the study and understanding of simple compositional techniques for the design of small architectural organisms. The course is divided into two phases. A first phase of analysis of the urban context of
reference and a second phase of elaboration of design hypotheses.
The urban context and the reference architectural space, both in the reading phase, both in the interpretation phase and in the more properly project re-proposal phase, is broken down into its essential components. These components will be investigated not only in their physical dimension and spatial organization, but also in their material, technical and constructive consistency, trying to
highlight the often very clear relationship between shapes, materials and technologies. The project, therefore, is configured as a sort of final balance in which the measurement of the individual building elements and the size of the spaces they enclose find integration, within a design strategy capable of satisfying the reasons for the assigned architectural-functional program.

The course lasts six months. Lessons, exercises and reviews will take place exclusively according to the AY. 2022/2023. The exams are fixed by the calendar, beyond which no additional didactic activity will be carried out. Students are allowed to take the exam in single form with the identification of design strategies developed in groups.

Teaching Methods 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 foreseen in the didactic activity program. The exercises will be individual and will constitute the specific teaching 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.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
Progressive compulsory checks are foreseen according to the deadlines set by the teaching 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 for continuing 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 at
student. The exams will be held according to the calendar.
