Programma

The Technical Physics and Building Systems module aims to provide the methodological foundations for designing environmental quality for users in contexts of historical and artistic significance, while respecting the conservation of the materials that make up both the building and its contents, through two phases:
1. passive environmental control, through interventions on the building envelope and natural elements
2. active environmental control, through the integration of technological systems

Environmental control seeks to maximize conditions of thermal-hygrometric, acoustic, visual comfort, and indoor air quality.

The conservation objectives concern not only people, but also the materials that constitute the structure and the objects it contains.

With regard to visual aspects, beyond achieving comfort and conservation conditions, the course introduces the theme of enhancing architecture, volumes, and materials, as well as the potential of light to create relationships between elements, visual hierarchies, and perceptual layers that support the narrative of the place, also in relation to its context.

In the specific case of the Ludus Magnus, the focus of the laboratory, particular attention is given to re-establishing its historical and functional relationship with the Colosseum, which has been completely lost in the current urban layout.

Modalità Frequenza

Attendance is mandatory for 75% of the course

Modalità Valutazione

Assessment is carried out through a series of ongoing project reviews, organized into independent reviews specific to the module, as well as one or two joint reviews with the Architectural Design module. The final exam consists of an evaluation of the project and the level of theoretical understanding of the discipline, based on questions that, starting from the design choices, cover the topics addressed during the lectures held throughout the semester.
