Exercises
Detail
The students faced a sequence of analytical exercises, at a 1:100 scale, of increasing difficulty, concerning the basic arrangement rules of housing layouts.
These exercises consisted of simple projects, but with all the variables necessary to understand the design techniques, in order to propose an immediate project experience which, alongside possible difficulties, had the advantage of immediately putting the student in front of the activity of composition and organization of spaces and forms.
The second semester was instead dedicated to the development of a project for a multi-storey residential building organized into apartments, with related facilities, located in Milan in a portion of the block between via Arena and via Conca del Naviglio. The skills learned during the 1st semester were implemented with reasoning referring to the architectural composition, its expressiveness and the relationship with the context, taking the Course of Study declaratory as a reference.
