DIDACTIC APPROACH IN MASTER COURSE IN ARCHITECTURE: DRAWING AND TECHNOLOGY DISCIPLINES

The paper presents the results of the educational activity carried out by the disciplines of Drawing and Technology within the Architecture Master Course, especially in the first years. Working on folding surfaces stimulates students to create complex surfaces and spaces through simple operations. This didactic experience on the folding surfaces, recalling the technique and the art of origami, offers the opportunity to investigate the properties that the fold determines on a simple paper sheet. The teaching experience allows to the students to practice on modeling of 3D space and on its representation through the proper methods of the discipline of drawing. In addition, the experiences gained in the field of Technological Disciplines are the result of specific teaching methods that, taking into account the heterogeneity of the students from the point of view of the previous training, move from a broader framework of content to arrive at an approach more technical- operational. The considerations and the results that will be illustrated concern two focuses of complementary insights, the first of which focuses mainly on the building, the second, on innovative materials
