Teaching methods
The theoretical and in-depth lessons are followed by laboratory hours that are divided into classroom exercises for the development of the assigned project, in sessions of dialogue and comparison between students and teachers, in seminars with invited teachers from different disciplinary areas and other national and international university institutes. Fundamental will be the collaboration with all the teachers of the course "L.M. 4 C.U. Ingegneria Edile-Architettura".
