The laterite stone walls house the spaces that are designed to accommodate classrooms and
administrative facilities. A dental clinic for students and the community is also part of the brief.
The creation of an amphitheater-like condition at the center of the ring-shaped school builds on the
concept of the public courtyard, to protect it from wind and dust, and essentially have a meeting space

Submission & Quiz Dates
Quiz II 20.12.2022
Task II Submission 27.12.2022
Module 01
URBAN DESIGN PARAMETERS & DIGITAL ANALYSIS
Description:
The first module will introduce the participants to theories about how cities are formed and the
practice of urban design and development.
It will glimpse the ideas of a wide range of people who have addressed urban problems and
acted to alter cities, suburbs, and regions through urban design.
The main aim of this part is to prepare the participant to make the different levels of urban
analysis.
Lessons:
• Urban design parameters & physical analysis
• Human behaviors in urban space and Its analysis
• Spatial configuration analyses using Space Syntax theory and associated tools
• Morphological and visual analysis
Module 02
URBAN MODELING MEDIATE USING WEB INFORMATION
Participants will learn to identify sites where to find information on the description of natural and
man-made environments. Subsequently, by learning specific Visual Programming Language tools,
they will be able to generate 3D scenarios enriched with information useful for urban analysis.
Lessons:
• Querying the web for landscape and urban information
• Learning tools for 3D modelling of the territory and urban environments through Visual
Programming Language
• Procedures for 3D construction of urban environments using VPL
Module 03
GIS to BIM
Description:
Participants will learn how to extract GIS data and information from the Web for the
construction of informed geometric masses. The in-depth study of BIM applications for VPL will
enable them to scale GIS to BIM. The final product will be an architectural model useful for the
investigations proposed.
Lessons:
• GIS - CAD - BIM, the concept of interoperability between models.
• Learning the tools for BIM modelling using the Visual Programming Language.
• Procedures for building BIM models from GIS cartography (LAB).
Michele Calvano
Architect, Ph.D. in Science of Representation, a research fellow at ISPC - CNR; specialized
in mathematical and parametric modeling.
He has written articles and books on reverse modeling, shape design, digital representation of
architecture and urban space also by using BIM procedures. He has taught at the Sapienza
University of Rome, the Politecnico di Torino and the University of Camerino.
He currently teaches at the Polytechnic of Milan in the School of Design and the Academy of
Arts and New Technologies in Rome (AANT). He collaborates with companies working in the
AEC field to support them in the engineering of complex shapes.
Nabil Mohareb
Is an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture in the School of Sciences and
Engineering (SSE) at the American University in Cairo (AUC).
Former Director of the Faculty of Architecture – Design & Built Environment at Beirut Arab
University’s Tripoli Campus in Lebanon. He has worked for prestigious universities in Egypt, the
UAE, and Lebanon. He was a Fellow of the Heritage Program Fellowship in Liverpool (2020/21).
His research focuses on the relationship between architecture and urbanism, emphasizing
social behavior activities and their mutual effects on spatial and economic variables in urban
spaces. His published research looks at different spatial arrangements and movement patterns
on both micro and macro scales.
Roberto Cognoli
Architect. PhD fellow at the school of architecture and design SAAD Unicam – Ascoli Piceno.
Postgraduate specialization in Environmental Technological Design at Sapienza University of
Rome, finalist at Archiprix International Chile 2019 with the master degree thesis Temporary City
– the geography of waiting.
Collaborate with Keio University – Japan in the project AAT- Digital fabrication for common
people. Focuses his research in parametric design and digital fabrication and robotic
construction.
