Learning outcomes |
- 1. To understand the basic concepts related to sustainability of buildings, both from the perspective of material selection and rational use of energy. - 2. To deepen the knowledge of Architecture in its technological and cultural dimensions, namely in aspects directly related to thermal and acoustic comfort and fire safety, both in buildings and in urban spaces. – 3. To acquire architectural design skills in terms of the most appropriate building solutions, taking sustainability into account, in the areas of thermal and acoustic comfort and fire safety. – 4. To recognize these solutions in case studies, either from traditional, modern and/or contemporary Architecture. – 5. To deepen the formal knowledge essential to establishing a fruitful dialogue with the engineering field, both in the scope of the design activity and in the construction monitoring.

Syllabus |
- 1. Sustainability and sustainability in Architecture; concepts of bioclimatic Architecture; carbon incorporated in materials; notion of “from cradle to cradle”.- 2. Functional requirements of buildings; thermal, acoustic, fire safety; cultural and ideological, technological and regulatory aspects. - 3. Thermal comfort in buildings; coherence between region, climate and architecture; notion of passive design; materials and construction solutions and integration of renewable energy systems in buildings. – 4. Acoustic comfort and acoustic insulation; construction solutions for spatial enclosure elements, both exterior and interior; acoustics of spaces, in buildings and in urban contexts. – 5. Fire behavior of buildings; fire safety; implications in architectural design; materials and strategies. – 6. Case studies, focusing on exemplary models of traditional, modern and/or contemporary architecture.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The unit, lasting one academic semester, involves 60 contact hours, corresponding to 5 ECTS. The contact hours are organized as follows: - 30 hours of theoretical-practical classes, where the syllabus is exposed and critically debated, as well as its underlying concepts and ideas; - 30 hours of theoretical-practical classes, where the application of content is enabled through an exercise aimed at identifying the constructive characterization of a case study, with emphasis on aspects directly related to sustainability, thermal and acoustic comfort and fire safety. In these classes, in addition to the application of acquired knowledge, students are encouraged to engage in permanent research and discovery.
