Abstract

The study aims to examine the theoretical and operational principles to determine the polytechnic methodological approach and technological culture aimed at teaching and learning the executive and engineering design for the construction in the contemporary and evolved scenario. Specifically, the study intends to address the conceptual references (of a philosophical and hermeneutic nature around technical operativity) and operational for determining the design for construction as a tool for knowledge and action. The analysis intends to support the executive and engineering design as a disciplinary field aimed at explaining the modalities of presentification of the project contents through the characters of projection and artificial reproduction of the systems, components, technical elements and their physical, dimensional and connective relations. On this basis, the subject focuses on the procedures aimed at the predictive exploration, structuring and simulation of reality, according to the modes of objective translation (analogical and metaphorical) of the themes referring to the construction. In particular, the analysis involves an in-depth examination of the polytechnic instrumental and informative practices for guiding and instructing construction (through the support of advanced tools) through the examination of: the design instruments composed as executive models, aimed at foreseeing and monitoring the production and construction phases; the modes of codified formalization of the executive devices (through the support of a scientific and operational language) necessary for the explanation, anticipation and (indirect) experience of the production and construction phases.
