Learning objectives
Knowledge and Understanding:
The aim of the course is to consolidate the fundamental skills necessary for performing a correct and complete interpretation of the built context. This is essential for intervening in building reuse and requalification, as well as for conducting a comprehensive and articulated technological analysis. The goal is to evaluate the most suitable and sustainable methods for transformation and technological adjustment.
Skills:
The ability to select and effectively utilize building technologies and materials, comprehend the analytical interpretation of energy and environmental requirements, and recognize innovative intervention strategies will be developed.
Judgment Autonomy:
At the end of the course, students should have developed the ability to critically evaluate traditional and innovative tools and technologies to determine their suitability for reuse and restoration projects. This evaluation aims to assess the sustainability elements involved in transformation processes.
Communication Skills:
Students will develop the ability to describe, communicate, and represent the building envelope in all its components at different scales through the use of the most appropriate methods and tools, which will be described during the lessons.
Learning Ability:
Different lessons are designed to assist students in correctly using critical analysis methods for reusing projects. They also help in identifying various building envelope elements. the and end of these lessons, students should have knowledge and the knowledge to meet skills energy and functional requirements
Prerequisites
Basic skills for this class are those derived from the knowledge of the main construction techniques and the main traditional and modern building materials
Course unit content
The class focuses on the complex issue of the relationship between new technologies and formal language in the case of building buildings retrofit. It pays attention to the application materials, environmental new environemtnal and functional requirements, energy needs, and mitigation change mitigations strategies.
Particular attention will be paid to the role played by innovative technologies in thermal insulation and to achieve the highest level of improvement in the relationship between architecture and the existing environment.
Full programme
The extended program and the extended bibliography will be made available during the lessons.
