Abstract

“We consider architecture as a built fact" (built object) therefore, we are convinced that ''technological support allows us to overcome the limitations (limit) of the idea". The chair team, a way of raising questions, ideas, debates, seeking approaches to the learning-teaching of technological knowledge of the architectural project crossed by sustainability. The methodology used in the process is based on a dynamic transfer of theoretical content in planned practical exercises. The 1st practical work "The example" is analytical, about architectural works. It is intended that the student infer which were the engines that allowed the development of each of the projects assigned for the analysis, carrying out an intuitive reinterpretation of the assumed project methodology, from the technological point of view. The 2nd work "The module" is an exercise on the technological design of a 6 x 6 x 6 meters module that ranges from the study of climatic requirements, structure, envelopes, terminations to metric calculation, which are all the contents of the subject. The relevant and coherent use of the material resources of architecture is transmitted and promoted, so we work to increase in the students the habit of "thinking about a well-resolved architecture and linked to its environment." "Incorporate technology in the design process", incorporate the design process, as input for the project's thinking, to allow the project to crystallize into architecture.
