Presentation summary
• Why an integrated workshop on buildings technical design
• Systemic workshop: more than the sum of its parts
• Last year’s themes

• Last year’s themes
• Results and feedback
The building design process: from a linear to a circular approach
Circular and holistic
Desogus– Multidisciplinary workshop on building design3
Linear and sequential
Targets of the multidisciplinary workshop
• Increasing student knowledge and skills on:• Detailed design of building envelope• Structural design• Building thermophysics
• Contributing to understand the correlations among architectural, structural and
Desogus– Multidisciplinary workshop on building design4
• Contributing to understand the correlations among architectural, structural and energy/HVAC system design.
• First – hand experiencing the consequences that every choice made in one field has on the others.
Architectural engineering module
The module aims at improving skills of students in managing the relationship between
Architecture and Technology.
Particularly, the topics of theoretical lessons and practical workshop are:
The building materials and components market
Materials and constructive elements of opaque envelope;
Materials and constructive elements of transparent envelope;
Desogus– Multidisciplinary workshop on building design5
Materials and constructive elements of transparent envelope;
The design of building envelope details;
Architectural integration of renewable energies;
Architectural integration of solar shadings.
Structural design module
The course aims to give the student the tools to set the structural design theme in terms of
safety and integration into the architectural organism, and acquire basics to understand and
use with confidence procedures aimed at new construction.
Particularly, the student will be prepared to draw up a structural project in all its phases:
design of building's structural concept according with its architectural form and with its
required functional performance;
Desogus– Multidisciplinary workshop on building design6
required functional performance;
choice of structural materials according to the specificity of their mechanical behaviour;
definition of the shape and size of the structural elements with their connections;
evaluation of the applied loads;
identification of a mechanical model that takes into account the materials performance and
their evolutions in time and the manufacturing processes.
Building thermophysics module
The module provides to the students knowledge and skills on the thermal hygrometric comfort
prevision and evaluation, the design of HVAC and DHW systems and their possible supply by
renewable energy. The course program deals with the following topics:
Technical aspects regarding the thermo-hygrometric comfort in indoor spaces;
Physical characteristics of building envelope and HVAC systems.
Thermal load calculation, psychrometry and air conditioning.
Building HVAC systems components, energy transfer terminals, air treatment plants, air
Desogus– Multidisciplinary workshop on building design7
Building HVAC systems components, energy transfer terminals, air treatment plants, air
distribution, regulation of power plants.
Renewable energy sources: solar energy, solar systems with flat collectors, solar thermal
systems, photovoltaic.

Conclusions
The workshop has obtained positive feedback from the students: the yearly surveys carried out so far show a satisfaction degree above the average of the course.

average of the course.
Conclusions
Starting from the next semester a new module will be added. The use of Building
Information Modelling (BIM) will be introduced in the workshop and the
potentiality of the methodology will help to better manage the correlation among
architectural, structural and energy/HVAC design.
