Fabale
Luciano Fabale lives and works in Rome. He works in the fields of graphic design, painting, architecture, design and education. He collaborates and has collaborated as a graphic designer/illustrator with various publishing houses, including Edizioni Mediterranee, Lantana and Lantana Arte, Flewid-book and Futur-ism. As a visual artist, he collaborates and has collaborated with the following galleries: Studio Soligo, Futurism & co. Art Gallery in Rome, Core Gallery in Rome, Mondrian Suite Gallery in Rome; he has worked as a designer with the Debrark architecture studio in Rome; he has taught digital image processing at Sapienza University of Rome; architecture and design at various art schools in Rome and the surrounding province; and advertising graphics at the City of Rome’s School of Ornamental Arts.
He has exhibited his paintings, graphic art and design work in galleries and museums in Italy and abroad; the following are some of his exhibitions:

‘Ottagono’, no. 223 (September 2009): urban design project ‘Stone_D – Design of a Floating Structure’.
The course aims to develop students’ ability to create models and progressively transform them into one another, following a process that approaches the final design through successive iterations. Throughout this programme, geometry plays a central role, both as a tool for generating and controlling forms and as a means of representing them graphically. For this reason, one part of the course is dedicated to the study of surfaces, while another focuses on rendering. The transformation of the models takes place in a digital environment, where every element – whether two-dimensional or three-dimensional, image or sound – is described in digital format, thereby speaking the same language. One section of the course focuses on 3D modelling – solid, surface and organic – while another section explores in depth the techniques for graphically rendering images derived from the models, using both digital projections and renderings and traditional techniques such as pencil, watercolour or pen drawing.
The course aims to equip students with a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) design methodology based on 3D parametric modelling techniques. This CAD technique enables the creation of parametric models, which designers can use to generate and manage ‘intelligent’ models that adapt easily to changes, allowing the entire structure of the design to be modified with a single action. This eliminates the need to manually edit each individual dimension or to redraw the model every time a specific dimension is changed.
Learning Objectives
The Technical and Design Drawing 2 course comprises two modules: the first module focuses on the study of Descriptive Geometry, providing students with the cultural tools necessary for the correct geometric representation of form and for solving problems in plane geometry; the second module focuses on the study of Computer-Aided Drafting, providing knowledge of the main technical tools used in drafting and the associated cultural knowledge.
Course topics
The topics covered during the course, aimed at providing knowledge and understanding of the rules and methods for representing two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, are as follows:
• Standards and conventions: types, thicknesses and use of lines; the title block; dimensional scales; dimensioning of drawings.
• Orthogonal projections: the method; projections of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes; projections of planes, lines and points: shapes on specific planes; two-dimensional sections, intersections and the intersection of solids.
• Axonometric projections: orthogonal, oblique.
• Perspective projections: the methods.
• Shadow theory in axonometric and perspective representations.
