FIRST LEVEL SPECIALIZING MASTER IN

DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTURE

Entry exam for candidates


time: 4 hours

Introduction to the Master


In the current survey of development in the building branch on a global scale
the professional figure of the planner (whether an architect or a designer) is
evolving to face competently projects that are characterized by three
phenomena that are quickly increasing

1. Project Globalization
New cities and settlements made of big buildings developed in a very short
time are coming up and growing in the Middle East, in Eastern Europe, in
South-Eastern Asia as well as in China and India.
Planners, builders and building components producers belonging to different
countries and to unhomogeneous cultures intervene in these works.
In this case a globalization of the sector can be witnessed both in its cultural
aspects and in its project and development and it needs a language and
planning technology sharing about which a specific training must be
formulated.

2. Reconversion of Buidings
A second evolving field in is the one of the reconversion of buildings (especially
those of the services sector) that are transformed to be used for new functions
or to receive a new consignee. These buildings can be partially or completely
stripped of their “skin” and only their structure can be preserved. The coating
and all the removable elements (both interior and exterior) can be substituted
in order to give a new shape both to the building aesthetics and to its function.
It is an effective system both in terms of carrying out time and costs and it
requires special design and building solutions that must be developed and
presuppose a knowledge in mass production and in industrial processes that
are typical of scale economics.
3. Temporariness
Another sphere that is strongly developing is the branch of events that are
characterized by their temporariness: an example are the international
expositions that have a duration that can vary from some days to some months
and that require specific types of building. The transport, the adaptability to
various contexts, the carrying out, the abandonment and the reuse are some
of the characteristics that must be taken into consideration by the planner who
should in particular consider the different contexts in which the temporary
structures can be used by getting analogies from design for assembly and/or
design for disassembly (to which industrial design refers)

1. General Question

Starting from the subject number 3 that is mentioned above please


supplement the description (by using also some examples) and highlight the
relevant project spheres that take advantage from the application of a project
approach that is typical of industrial design. This means putting into
connection the problems of the construction sector (from the project to the
yard) with the project competences that are typical of industrial design, that
has always been oriented to solve mass production problems,
standardization, compatibility of components and systems, assembly, etc.

Max 2500 characters

2. Project Question

Many different products are used in the construction field:

A. finished built-in products that integrate with buildings, typically building


components and plant systems;

B. consumer electronic products and functional products (building


automation, lighting systems, ect.);

C. mass building products, that is temporary structures and modular building


solutions.
Please choose an existing product from the product type B and describe which
are the innovation possibilities for this product from the point of view of design,
carrying out, maintenance, etc. with renard to the development survey
described above. The candidate can make use of examples of buildings,
products and best practices. The text can be supplemented by sketches and
graphic plans.
