ARCHITETTURA DEGLI INTERNI E COMPOSIZIONE ARCHITETTONICA

Learning Objectives

• ARCHITETTURA DEGLI INTERNI

  "The projects had to develop according to a process going from the inside out, the floor and the ceiling (wooden floor and coffered ceiling) were to be solved first, the façade was later. The orderly distribution of the parts and the logical arrangement of the furniture were given the utmost importance. In this way I taught my students to think in three dimensions, to think about the cube. There are few architects who today know how to do it. Today it seems that the architect's preparation is completed when he learned to think on the plan. " (Adolf Loos, My School of Architecture)

Course Structure

• ARCHITETTURA DEGLI INTERNI

  This discipline is conceived as an inseparable part and fundamental moment of architectural project.
