EXPECTED RESULTS

Participants will be able to realize simple and complex construction with drywall adapted to different standards (soundproofing, fire protection, burglar resistance, resistance to seismic stresses, thermal protection, predisposition for passage of plants, etc.),  walls and false ceilings, curve and particular surfaces

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The teaching methodology of the course foresees that in each module will be a real  alternation between transmitted knowledge and experienced knowledge; at each moment of theoretical learning will follow a moment of direct involvement of the students oriented towards practical application and critical reflection
