Digital Representation and Modelling
Generation, construction and analysis of drawings, images and models, as results of scalar representations of existing or designed realities and of planning, through the graphic language and its scientific foundations, also in the digital domain.

Objectives:
The aim of the course is to broaden and define knowledge in the field of analog and digital representation and modeling for building and civil engineering design. In particular, the course aims to provide notions that allow the transition from the geometric model to the constitution and understanding of the completed graphic model, as a joint expression of geometric and graphic-symbolic features and ones of graphic semiology. The aim is also pursued through the deepening of the methodological and operational tools of digital modeling.
