Aims :

The training is based on the gain of a scientific –technical culture which has as aim the practice of graphic language tools peculiar to architecture designer.

Topics :

THEORY: Fundamentals elements about visual perceiving and descriptive geometry. The concept of projection and representation methods (parallel and convergent projection). The orthogonal projection, different types of axonometric representations and direct and indirect perspective (measuring points method). Representation of plane and solid figures, plans of section and conic sections; representation of rotation surfaces and helix, solid intersections, real form of plane figures.
The different graphic techniques: free hand drawing and by computer (autocad); relief drawing and planning drawing. The normative. The critical graphic reading of historic architecture.
EXERCISE: The student will have to master the different drawing techniques: free hand and by computer. The exercises in the class-room, based on descriptive geometry applications, will consist on 2D and 3D critical representation of historic architecture.
