2. Overview Tectonics and Order. This course is intended to expand the conceptual architectural design introduced in the first year, with issues of programme and context gradually introduced as cogenerators of design. Through architectural drawings and models, quality of space is emphasized and programmatic considerations related to the human condition are explored aiming to reach the design of a small Tropical Kindergarten at Nyarugenge Campus. 5
2. Overview The beginning of the semester is dedicated redesign two examples to explore and understand the topic: Giuseppe Terragni, Asilo d'infanzia Sant'Elia, Como, 1936-1941 and Alberto Campo Baeza, Centro per Infanzia, Ponzano Veneto, Treviso, 2007. The semester concludes with a small building design project which includes daylighting studies as coordinated with the ARC 3213 Building Environmental Science (Lighting) course. 6
2. Overview Final drawings will follow the list of architectural drawings requested by the Land Office to obtain a construction permit, and also in the prospect of promoting energy efficiency in building in East Africa is asked to take into consideration the Guidelines for Green Building Design established by the UNHABITAT.

3. Content ReDesign Exercises (approx. 4 weeks). The two Kindergarten ReDesign exercises will allow conceptual explorations on Tectonic & Order, and additional influences such as specific programme needs will be taken in consideration and the daylighting requirements will be analysed in partnership with the dedicated module ARC 2163 - Building Environmental Science_I (Lighting). The exercises consist to draw the original projects and to realize a model on scale. 8

3. Content ReDesign Exercises_002 (two weeks) Alberto Campo Baeza, Centro per l infanzia. 10
3. Content Context and Site Research (approx. 2 weeks). A real site: Nyarugenge Campus Kigali Rwanda. Students will undertake a site analysis project related to the specific location of the site, which will inform the design project, including environmental aspects. 11
3. Content Context and Site Research (approx. 2 weeks). 12
3. Content Design Project (approx. 5 weeks). A programme will be given for students to design a Tropical Kindergarten for the staff community of Nyarugenge Campus with specific programmatic and daylighting needs. The project will be moderately small in size so that students may resolve a highly specific design. The project includes a final presentation with a model and presentation drawings. A daylighting component of the project is integrated with the ARC 3213 - Building Environmental Science (Lighting) course. 13

5. Cours/Learnings Objectives Knowledge and Understanding At the end of the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: - Basic architectural drawings, including plans, sections, and elevations; - Various drawing techniques and methods; - Modeling; - Thumbnail perspective views; - Proportioning of forms and general design principles. 16
5. Cours/Learnings Objectives Cognitive/Intellectual skills/application of Knowledge At the end of the module, students should be able to: - Illustrate figures in legible style using freehand sketches; - Represent forms in communicable 2 & 3 dimensional drawings; - Generate balanced basic designs and compositions. 17
5. Cours/Learnings Objectives Communication/ICT/Numeracy/Analytic Techniques/Practical Skills At the end of the module, students should be able to: - Accurately represent basic forms in two and threedimensional drawings; - Relate objects at varying scales and distances with proper proportioning; - Develop visual concepts of the form of convincing 2 & 3 dimensional models and drawings; - Learn with given constraints. 18
5. Cours/Learnings Objectives General Transferable Skills At the end of the module, students should be able to: - Undertake self-learning in the subject; - Produce simple design sketches and composition of forms. 19
6. Learning and Teaching Strategy This course is delivered through lectures backed up by topical slide shows. All work is on display at various stages of evolution. All exercise or projects require the students to undertake some investigation of their own. The students are asked to actively participate to the class workshops in which they will apply the theoretical concepts previously exposed, the presence and the exercise submissionattheendofthelecturecomposethedifferent CAT (1-9). 20
6. Learning and Teaching Strategy Each student therefore develops their own unique interpretation of the tasks assigned to the entire class: the project of the KINDERGARTEN is individual. All the lectures and course materials will be available on the internet site: www.cstmanlio.wordpress.com. 21
6. Learning and Teaching Strategy To evaluate the comprehension of the different themes at the end of each part a CAT (1-12) will be set up. 22
