Learning objectives
The course aims to develop observation skills, visual and spatial forms of expression through the mastery of drawing as a tool of reasoning and representation, with particular reference to the control of spatial forms.
Skills developed:
- the knowledge and use of the main theoretical concepts and techniques of graphic representation,
- The acquisition of the major design codes for the description of the architecture,
- the identification of relationships between the forms of architecture and the elementary geometry of space,
- The exercise of free-hand drawing as a tool for describing and studying the forms of architecture.
Specifically, the course is conducted through lectures relating to the representation of the typical themes of the different scales of representation (the representation of the territory of the city, building structures and architecture, up the stairs executive) to make students able to express graphically the contents of the following courses focusing on the achievements in the field of human construction.

Course unit content
The course is part of the teaching faculty of the first year of teaching as a fundamental, because the design is of essential preparatory connotation in relation to other disciplines of architecture. It is the specific language and the prerequisite of any intervention is constructive for the development of the project idea as a representation that is essential to its realization.
As a discipline of architecture, the representation uses two preferred cognitive tools: the design, developing the ability to describe the spatial forms through two-dimensional graphics and descriptive geometry, which is the basis of scientific representation of projective shapes on the floor.
The main purpose of the course is therefore to provide the student with the technical and cultural tools to describe and study the forms of:
- The development of autonomous capabilities for monitoring, understanding and graphic description of forms in space, at different scales and according to different codes of representation,
- The acquisition of the laws and projective methods for scientific representation on the plan,
- Mastery of use of various means of representation in 2 or 3 dimensions, with particular reference to the free-hand drawing,
- Knowledge of the main conventions of architectural drawing.
The acquisition of the contents of basic education will be through an integrated learning module based on the specific representation of architecture:
- The Architectural drawing and descriptive geometry 100 hours
In that cleaves the form of digital design that, independently but in partnership, will provide the student with the fundamentals of automatic drawing to the representation of architecture.
The Assessment of the essential tools of the design will in fact be part of the student through the development of a topic of discussion, which are reflected in specific aspects of the three subjects.
The final exam is unique and common to all three courses.
The major theme, as identified in the final practice for the current academic year, aims to "Deconstruction, study and analysis of architecture" through the study of geometric distribution and bi-dimensional representation of a simple architecture.
The attendance is essential for the successful completion of the fast: the continued presence in class, and the smooth and successful execution of the exercises will allow students to pass the exam the summer session with an easy procedure.
Attendance is mandatory for all with a minimum of 70% attendance in order to access the final exam.
Teaching methods
RULES 'OF EXAMINATION:
The exam consists of the performance of:
- 4 tests in A4/A3 format, developed in the classroom, retired at the end of the lesson by teaching, proper evaluation and subsequently returned;
- 14 tables performed in the classroom, in A4/A3 format on the topics proposed to lesson the next lesson will be withdrawn, corrected, evaluated and subsequently returned;
- Album of drawings in a totally free but contains at least 20 representatives drawn architectures developed in the manner of drawing from life.
General rules
All tables are to be performed individually and to access the final exam, students must have successfully completed an adequate exercise of all three modules and in particular:
- Tables performed in the classroom or at home should be, if insufficient, redone
- The test, if insufficient, provide an oral
FINAL EXERCISE
"Deconstruction, study and analysis of architecture"
Even the final exercise should be conducted in an individual manner.
The final exercise requires the application of acquired knowledge concerning the principles of representation construction at different scales, aimed at urban construction of classification, the object in the context of the stairs 1:5,000 and 1:1,000 / 1:500, and the design of plans, prospects, sections 1:100 / 1:50, to un'assonometria, a perspective and a particular building (1:20 / 1:10) of a building or complex of buildings, previously agreed with the teachers.
The building elements will be represented at various scales of representation and will be made more graphic tables, in A2, placed horizontally, within those tables, the level of definition of individual designs should be congruent with the different scales used, avoiding both an excess of information transmitted via a drawing too redundant, and excessive synthesis of expression, the levels of specification of the graphic language will, however, defined with the teachers, through the revisions of the projects taking place during the final part of the second semester.
The final tables will be revised using a tool.
Are required at least four reviews by the teaching.
PRESENTATION OF PAPERS OF EXAMINATION
Examination must be submitted to all the entries made during the year for all modules of the Laboratory.
All entries must be made in format A4/A3 bound (with metal wire) into a single file, which is defined as a cover sheet containing all the particulars of the course.
They must also be submitted in the final tables A2, bound album of the exercises of the course of Architectural Drawing I, and a CD (with cover) containing the files of the final work.
