The target of the Laboratory is the investigation of the possibilities of cohabitation among man, nature, urban environment and historical development of architecture. The activity is organized in communications and articulated exercises in forms as phases related to the knowledge of historical-geographical environment, assuming as fundamental the theme of the residence: the housing typologies in examination concern the relationships that intervene among architecture, climate, constructive techniques and historical development of the urban environment. Particularly some of the specific characteristics of the organizational system of the must be underlined to live: distribution of the functions, spatial connections, technical solutions, material employees, specificity of the historical-environmental context. Through the representation, the analysis and the interpretation of some exemplary interventions of the residential architecture, the constants, the invariant tipologiches and the innovations must be sought introduced in the components of the building manufactured articles taken in examination. The exercise of laboratory consists in the representation of the descriptive housing typologies of the different historical phases of the culture of the to live: the house neolitica, sumerica, Egyptian, Greek, Etrusca, Roman, etc., and in the individualization of the peculiar components and the influences that they operate within the modern and contemporary architecture.

The images must be reproduced in album, in formed A3. The exercise will be articulate in the construction of a spatial model that represents the specifities of residential typology and material of the buildin volume in its contest.

Development of the examination
Students activity will be tested in the examination of the teaching which is entrusted with the management of the laboratory.
