What
ArTec offers
ArTec provides the following services:
- Information on basic materials and building products: the archive collects
and presents the Italian's market's main building materials and products to give
students a physical perception about
them (shape, dimensions, surface textures, assembly, methods of construction,
etc.).
- A Library of technical information provided by the producing companies: the
archive collects, sorts and contains technical documentation (catalogs,
brochures, manuals, information materials, CD/DVD or link to websites) on
products for construction and design;
- Classification and collection of key details;
- Information on how to use, installation and assembly (of the video material
produced by companies or created ad hoc);
- A secretariat for the organization of relations between the school and
industries, companies building to promote technical information, seminars, training, product demonstrations.
- Free access database - materioteca.iuav.it
Products exposed and their criteria
Products and
materials available in ArTec are selected on the basis of their significance
for learning purposes by students of building techniques, technology and, more
generally, the rules of correct building.
Exhibitors and products on display are selected on the basis of
qualitative assessments.
ArTec shows products and materials' mock-ups,
a scale model with regard to particular details and / or assemblies on open-shelfs;
others materials and design solutions are shown through paper drawings, CD and
video.
Each product is accompanied with technical information and its trade
name, that identifies the producer's name
Teachers can use our mock-ups to show students in the classroom during
the lesson about the specific topic or in alternative they come in our office
with few students
The databases of materials library are
technology archives that are proposed as an instrument of knowledge and
dissemination of material information and may have commercial or educational
purposes. In the first case is required a form of payment for economic advice,
in the second (and ArTec is an example), object is the training of university
students and deepening their knowledge in the field of material: student,
especially in the early years of study, needs to ascertain the weight, texture,
colour of a brick or to see a polymer composite of the latest generation.
Now the research is given to topics and products of sustainability
recycling, fully bio-compatible for bio-architecture.
