Learning Objectives

  • Executive Design

    The course aims to provide the students the necessary competences to develop and improve the design process up to the realization of building.

    The Executive Design is the third phase of the building process and it requires to set drawings with a high complexity level.

    The course is organized with theoric lessons and a design exercise. This year the students will attend the international competition Solar Decathlon Europe 2019.


Detailed Course Content

  • Executive Design

    The cours aims to deal with the executive design into the contemporary building scenery; this perpective looks at an advanced tecnological context where the design choises are often addressed to use new materials and light prefabricated components

    Italian Law 109/94, and its following updating, describes the executive design as an organized data system necessary to set the construction process in the buiding yard and to get exact directions to all the workmen and skilled workers.

    We focus the attention on the peculiarity of executive drawings, for instance:

    - summarizing drawings that shown the complex of the work and the building technique;

    - interface drawings that aim to highlight a particular buiding yard organization;

    - detail drawings and assembly drawings.

    The course will explore the relationship between executive design and building yard where the building yard is understood as an experimentation place.

    The students will have experience of a buiding yard for testing:

    - dimension coordination;

    - assembly techniques with a special attention to mechanical joint.
