Survey and Drawing Representation of Architecture and Environment: Different Teaching Approach for Architects and Engineers

摘要

The project of knowledge is articulated through various techniques of digital representation through direct and indirect surveys, site and architecture direct observation, reading and manipulation of images, comparison between historical and actual maps, with the aim to critically consider the project as an action in progress in place and time through evaluations of possible future scenarios, especially through digital three-dimensional representations. This paper puts into evidence the need to approach in different forms of teaching different forms of teaching Survey and Representation of architecture and the Environment at the Polytechnic School of Genoa diversified for the courses of Architecture and Civil and Environmental Engineering. The interdisciplinary approach is essential and at the same time determining the educational aims: planning, intended as a deep change in relations between the visual and historical memory of the place and the image that the territory acquires by the “new”, requires a capacity for critical reading of the natural and anthropic landscapes in order to provide knowledge, through a stratified description of places.The courses develop a central theme articulated for topics studied from groups of students,all centered on the matter of the architectonic,urban and territorial representation, comparing the different techniques of the traditional sketch and the contemporary figurative languages (the project drawing and its performance is addressed through the analysis of a path that highlights the potential conformation and representation of new digital tools. Topics: ? Representation and modeling of architecture in the era of digital media. ? New means of communication and creativity in the representation of contemporary architecture. We analyze the theoretical principles of topological surfaces, of hypersurfaces, and architecture of transarchitettura liquid up to design experiments and experiences of these concepts)according to different levels of knowledge.
