COURSE BUILDING DESIGN AND H-BIM FOR ARCHITECTURAL RENOVATION

MODULE1: BUILDING DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTURAL RENOVATION - 6 cfu Prof. Edoardo Currà

The aim of the course is giving to the students methods and notions to make them able to approach the rehabilitation project. The course presents them criteria to select the different operative and technical solutions in conservation/modification existing heritage.

The principal topic of the course is the (existing building design) both in conservation and in rehabilitation of the building organism with different phases of knowledge and  understanding of the specific spatial and technique components

The student has to show ability to spot components of the historic building organism and to find spatial, technique and pathology characteristics; ability in understanding building organism characteristics in order to locate new structuring rules, both in spaces and in functional components, which will conduct to the definitive planning proposal.

The course, included in the number of the last year disciplines, is based on the knowledge acquired by students in previous courses (particularly the courses of: Building design, architectural survey, history of architecture and structural engineering).

On one hand, the lessons guide to 'analysis and understanding of the historic building construction” The field of interest includes minor architecture, which compose the building fabrics of old towns, and the historical perspective of industrial settlements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The lessons are organized in 4 sections.

1st Section: History of construction

2nd Section: Rehabilitation project

Theoretical aspects of architectural rehabilitation, as they emerge from the critical analysis of operative and methodological praxis and of theory. From their formulation or adoption in the ancients past to the present.

3nd Section: Pre-modern and modern technique

The building organism and the procedures of the constructive tradition regarding the technological units and the related technologic elements.

4th Section: The architectural decay 

The available techniques in evaluation of architectural and materials decay, and the restoration of components or technological units performances. 

Critical Analysis of remarkable cases.

Each section includes a dedicated workshop.
