Programma

The course aim is to teach students the basic elements of architectural restoration, as applied to a historic Roman structure situated in a complex historic-architectural context.
The didactic approach has been applied and perfected over a number of years. The objectives are divided in two parts:
a) To develop knowledge and familiarity with traditional Roman architectural language and techniques in pre-modern construction arts as a basis for rational and active conservation of historic structures;
b) To prepare students for the aspects of a future career in architectural restoration which will regularly call on them to make rapid decisions concerning the fabric of historic buildings, without being able to draw on significant finances or resort to long or complex analyses.
In keeping with the teaching context, the study structure selected will be one of architectural-historical significance (but not a major designated monument), with past inappropriate alterations, situated in a low-visibility location and in current use as residences.

Modalità Erogazione

The structure selected for the case planning studies will be a pre-modern residential building in the historic centre of Rome or a major residence (manor house, casale) of the agricultural regions near Rome (the Campagna Romana). Documentation relative to the structure will be provided at the course outset. Course instructors and teaching assistants will guide an appropriate series of survey visits for single students and small groups (maximum 3 individuals). The students will be responsible for preparation of a Project for Reuse, including the following components: a) Sets of overall measured and analytical drawings showing the most significant construction phases; b) Drawings and demonstrated comprehension of the pre-modern construction techniques for walls, horizontal structural elements, roofs, exterior and interior finishes; c) A project for architectural-functional reorganisation and compatible reuse of the historic Roman building, taking an approach of consolidative formation/transformation; d) Structural plans suited to achievement of the project, including the application of pre-modern construction traditions as identified during the documentation phase of the study.

Modalità Frequenza

Attendance is compulsory for 75% of the lesson hours

Modalità Valutazione

Students organized in groups will show and discuss the work done during the laboratory with the teaching staff.

Programma

The course proposes the study of an historical building or landscape, urban or extra urban.
Through ex-cathedra lectures, seminars and weekly reviews, the students will be led during the different phases of critical interpretation and philological analysis (knowledge and study of the literature, research in the relevant archives, exegesis of the textual and iconographic sources, direct observation and survey, drawings of the transformation phases, reading of permanence and transformation, interpretative sketches etc.).
Individual or group research is suited to being used as a project tool, useful to build guide lines and specific restoration and enhancement projects.
Lectures and design exercises are carried out with the support of specialized external collaborations (officials of public institutions, businesses and restorers).

Modalità Frequenza

The course attendance is mandatory at 75% of teaching hours (see the didactic regulation).

Modalità Valutazione

The learning test consists of an individual oral examination. It consists of an evaluation of the restoration project, a presentation of the research and design work carried out during the course and a discussion of the topics covered in the lectures, conferences and guided tours.

Programma

The course aims to teach students the basic elements of architectural restoration of an element of the Roman historical building fabric in a context with strong historical-architectural stratification.
Students will be offered a case study suitable to represent the historical stratification of the building fabric of the center of Rome and offer the opportunity to decline the analysis from different points of view.
Based on the documentation provided by the course and bibliographic and archival research to be conducted under the guidance of the teaching staff, students, individually or in groups of up to three people, are called to conduct a cognitive/design process including different disciplinary aspects.
Critical-historical analysis - Preliminary activity indispensable to the design is the knowledge of the architectural complex, this consists of three phases: reconstruction of the historical phases of the area on the basis of comparative reading of historical cartography and archival documents; reconstruction of the most significant historical phases in plan and axonometry; "critical" relief with the mapping of materials and "signs" of historical stratifications.
Philological restoration project - The design project will have to provide typological, architectural and functional reorganization on the basis of the consolidated transformation phenomena of Roman historical urban fabric for the purpose of reuse aimed at a compatible destination.
Structural adjustment, with the use of techniques belonging to the pre-modern construction tradition detected in the case of study and compared with those documented by the Manual of Recovery of the City of Rome.
