Contents

The course consists in workshop design activity with the support of the professor and his tutors. The design activity is accompanied by the presentation of technical and theoretical content through lectures and seminars that generally take place in the first hour, leaving the remaining time to work in groups. At the conclusion of the various project phases, open collegial criticisms are foreseen.

Teaching Methods

The course favors practical project activity and dedicates the greatest number of hours to the latter. The support of the teachers takes place through punctual reviews and collegial criticisms. Communications, lectures and seminars will take up about 1/5 of the number of hours available.

Verification of learning

The final evaluation of the work is based on the documents produced at the end of the course and during the intermediate phases. Together with the quality of the project, is also considered the expertise and persuasiveness of its representation.
