Project Management in Building Construction

Knowledge and understanding The course objectives concern knowledge relating to sustainability applied to the built environment, with a focus on the most significant examples at national and international level. The course consists of theoretical lectures and practical exercises. The urban examples relating to the theoretical lectures will always be analysed in terms of building processes and their technological and cultural evolution. At the end of the course, students should have acquired knowledge and understanding, as well as skills that enable them to provide theoretical, methodological and practical support in order to carry out a comprehensive analysis of building structures and their production from both a cultural and a technical-practical point of view. The practical exercise, carried out by groups of students organised under the guidance of the lecturer and the teaching team, focuses on an example of simplified management of the built environment. This exercise should be considered preparatory to the final exam. Knowledge will be assessed through the final exam. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding At the end of the course, students must demonstrate mastery of the basic concepts of building production management and sustainability in order to be able to solve complex problems relating to the evolution of the built environment and construction sites, both on a building and urban scale. These skills will be assessed as part of the practical activities through the completion of an applied exercise. Learning skills At the end of the course, students will be required to demonstrate a high level of independent learning skills relating to the management of the built environment. These skills will be acquired through specific theoretical contributions provided by the lecturer during the course, aimed at broadening the range of skills required for the management of building production and the built environment. Skills will be assessed primarily through an examination, structured in such a way as to highlight the progress made.

attendance is not compulsory but strongly recommended

The course is mainly based on the book ‘Towards (R)evolving Cities Urban fragilities and prospects in the 21st century’. Students will be guided by the lecturer through reading the text in English, and the final examination will be based on assessing their full understanding of the content.

The teaching activities are based on frontal theoretical lessons, both in the classroom and by remote means, and on strong seminar-based interaction between the lecturer and students, aimed at deepening and understanding the texts proposed in the course bibliography.
