Course Credit (CFU) 6

Scientific-Disciplinary Sector Icar/13

Course Type Laboratory

Professor Arch. Stefano Grande

Education objectives The main goal is to get to solve the composition and the overall organization of a motor boat set up to be used by its owner. The search for morphological and functional cases and similar products will be useful to develop awareness on the addressed subjects, environments and distributions to be preferred in relation to the use, formal solutions and performance to be observed.

The first part of the course will be dedicated to the critical study of solutions already developed and proposed on the market, that are of particular functional, distribution, performance and innovation interest in the nautical sector. In particular, the analysis will deal with metric parameters (areas, surfaces, paths) and qualitative aspects (settings, innovative solutions, design).

The second part will be dedicated more specifically to the exam subject, to the study of the project briefing, then turn to the definition of the nature of the proposed project and eventually to the design of general plans and internal and external volumes. The project will be developed in groups of up to three students.

Learning outcomes The subject of the final project is the planning of

a concept of pleasure craft motor less than 24

meters long, of unusual type, that is different

from traditional motor yachts in terms of

morphological, technical and distribution

techniques. The briefing of the project subject,

along with the hulls in 3 dm format, will be

provided by the faculty.

Laboratory

Organization and examinations The course will be developed in the form of laboratory, providing ex cathedra lessons followed by the practical implementation of the addressed topics and specific reviews of the work in progress. Special attention will be given to the coordination stage of practical application of the topics covered during the course, of their mutual interactions to the research and the final design, while still maintaining control of the consistency between results and assumptions.

It is recommended an active presence in the classroom; you may also want to bring drawing materials and what you need to work in the classroom as early as from the second lesson.

The examination consists of a presentation of the work done and an oral discussion on the contents developed and tested during the year.

The assessment will take into account the curriculum developed during the course and the final presentation. The final work consists of a Table with color printing in A1 vertical format adequately explaining the design solution and all dimensional, technical and graphic information aimed at a perfect understanding of the choices made (sketches, charts, technical drawings to a suitable scale, diagrams, photographs, render and three-dimensional models, etc ...). During the exam it is requested to deliver the 3dm file containing geometries of the project.
