Study of materials, the construction process and the traditional executive techniques and innovations: analysis of their possible use in the restoration project of architectural artefacts of historical and artistic interest.
scheda docente
materiale didattico
Given the breadth of knowledge that can relate to architectural technologies in different historical periods, the aim of the Course is to promote a critical approach to the use of techniques for intervening in built heritage, based on performance, aesthetic qualities and the relationship with the historical context.
Technological training is geared towards an integrated approach to design, construction and restoration works.
The Course covers materials, construction techniques and building elements: their historical evolution will be highlighted in relation to the basic principles of structural functioning and building envelopes. The key points of each topic can be summarised as follows:
- Performances provided by materials and construction elements in response to the requirements that the building had to and must meet.
- The building as a system of architectural, functional and structural elements, interconnected to provide performances, both historically and in the contemporary age.
The Course topics are divided into theoretical lessons, supplemented by practical exercises. In particular, the programme is structured around the identification of some materials and their related elements:
I. Materials (bricks, binders, mortars and concretes, reinforced concrete, insulating materials, glass, stone materials, ferrous and non-ferrous metallic materials).
II. Structural elements (masonry, vaults, plaster, framed structures, floors, internal and external doors and windows, cladding).
In addition, basic knowledge will be provided on the organisation of the restoration site and on HBIM and innovative technologies for the restoration project.

Programma
The Course aims to provide basic knowledge about materials and construction technologies, introducing students to an understanding of the architectural technology’s role in the restoration of built heritage. Therefore, the Course aims to train students in the correct recognition, uses and management of materials and construction techniques in restoration project choices.Given the breadth of knowledge that can relate to architectural technologies in different historical periods, the aim of the Course is to promote a critical approach to the use of techniques for intervening in built heritage, based on performance, aesthetic qualities and the relationship with the historical context.

Modalità Frequenza
Attendance is taken during lessons to verify that students have attended a sufficient number of theory lessons and revision sessions.Modalità Valutazione
Students are required to submit a detailed study of an example of Italian Rationalist architecture, examining the typological and structural characteristics of the building, its structure, and its territorial and environmental context, and producing a detailed sectional drawing of the roof structure to an appropriate scale.
