Executive and Engineering Design: Polytechnic Methodological Approach to Academic Teaching for the Building Construction

The study aims to propose a scientific and cultural contribution within the context of the Rethink Education with respect to the currently absent of a disciplinary configuration for the executive and engineering design matters, at the level of both academic teaching and professional application. In this regard, the study intends to submit and provide the theoretical and operational principles which characterize the academic polytechnic methodological approach aimed at teaching and learning the executive and engineering design for the building construction in the contemporary and evolved scenario: therefore, the objective of the research is to establish the executive and engineering design as an academic and scientific discipline (which can be articulated through educational, specialized and professional declinations), to be presented through methodological references and theoretical tools for learning and application. The executive and engineering design is analyzed as a conceptual and practical processing of elaboration directed to the projection, visualization and simulation (in experimental form) for planning, organizing and anticipating the building production and construction (in particular, for complex architectures).
