Programma

The course deals with the themes of the project at the urban scale within the methods envisaged by the new PRG of the city of Rome, with a focus on issues such as: urban regeneration of the city, the reuse of disused public heritage, the implementation of the objectives of fight against climate change (reduction of climate-altering emissions, resistance to extreme climatic events), forms of collective participation in the different phases of the project
The laboratory provides elements of urban planning at the scale of operational municipal planning, with reference to the reading of the general scale and with reference to the principles and methods of sustainable urban development.
Study topic: urban regeneration in Rome between infrastructures and ecological network, in the perspective of ecological transition
The study context is the Roman metropolitan area.
The elaborations will concern the development of intervention programs for urban regeneration and for the restoration of environmental and landscape values of critical contexts characterized by the existence of public goods that can act as a driving force for a higher feasibility of regeneration interventions and for the most advanced pursuit of sustainability and public interest objectives.
In particular, the intervention hypotheses will concern the contexts where the risk deriving from phenomena related to ongoing climate change arises, to measure the feasibility of urban transformation interventions including issues of settlement transfer and ecological regeneration of settlements; and those characterized by large public properties involved in the processes of decommissioning and privatization of assets.
Particular attention will be paid to the structural conditions (physical, economic, social) for the production of public goods and for their renewal, also through the quantitative verification of the infrastructural endowment and the comparison of the indicators measured with the indicators defined by the service objectives, and the evaluation of indicators relating to the dimensions of the SDGs.

Modalità Valutazione

The elaborations will be carried out in working groups of two to four components, equipped with a laptop on which to carry out the project activities. The exam papers will be produced in A3 - A2 - A1 format or in a notebook, with free technique. For the preparation of the Album, the following are required: PRG materials, basic maps (CTR 1: 10,000, IGM 1: 25,000, PTPR Tables A and B, other), and knowledge of the main software. The materials made available will be uploaded to the laboratory's googledrive. Others will be loaded as needed as they are needed. The processing steps envisaged include: • the identification and recognition of the contexts present in the study area, of the infrastructural endowment and of local services and of the phenomena of physical and social degradation and of resources / opportunities for intervention offered by the application of the new PRG of the city, and of the compatibility with the provisions of the PTPR; the study of the context must include the understanding and synthesis of knowledge relating to orographic characters, hydrographic networks, environmental mascrosystems, land and agricultural parcellations (where present), the morphology of buildings and vegetation (plant textures), with comparisons chronological, building sedimentation of uneven and stratified conditions and materials. • the formation of a summary of the main public objectives that can be deduced from the study of the PRG forecasts and the cognitive framework of the plan, or possibly in its variation, with particular regard to the maintenance / restoration of landscape values, to the system of local public services and urban scale, and the dimensioning of the offer of social housing destinations; this phase will include the definition of the territorial endowments present and a rough sizing of the desirable endowments, according to a recent cultural and administrative orientation that tends to go beyond the traditional urban planning standards; • the formation of the preliminary layout scheme as well as the preliminary program of interventions to be carried out. This first phase of work will be carried out by macro-groups, each of which will face the revision of the preliminary layout scheme of a PRINT or an Urban Project, also in light of the definition of landscape compatibility. The phase will end roughly within the first month of work, with a collective moment of confrontation between the documents produced by the macro-groups. Subsequently, each design group will choose an area and a design theme to work on, taking the design exercise to the end. It will include the design of specific transformation proposals, assuming the contribution of subjects and resources of public and private origin;

What is the meaning of town planning today, when it has long since lost its importance in the public discourse, to reject a reductive or renunciatory attitude?

Following Cristina Bianchetti's reflections, 'what is interesting is in the middle, in this moment... ... it concerns the actions that we manage to prefigure and carry out, their capacity to affect the problems that the city poses, as well as to interpret them correctly, observing them from different angles, redefining them, trying, from scratch, to understand their meaning. The interest lies in the ability of the project to propose a discourse that is up to the situation; in its being an accomplished expression of actions and knowledge that can hardly confront what is around them as well as the clamor of a political discourse turned into a schematic and advertising message; in its ability to be heard at a time of irreducible weakness of all long-term thinking." (Bianchetti C., Urbanism and the Public Sphere, Donzelli, 2008, p.5)

Within this framework, the course aims to provide students with the theoretical and technical tools to:
- enhance their understanding of the contemporary urban challenges and the social, environmental, and economic implications of the use and transformation of urban lands
- develop the ability to analyze urban and territorial contexts using appropriate descriptive, analytical, and communicative techniques
- develop a critical sense of urban trends and the possibilities of influencing them through projects grounded in a deep understanding of the urban context
- consolidate the knowledge of the discipline, enabling its application in addressing and resolving design-related issues.

The workshop activity will refer to a concrete context in Rome and will be used to experiment with the theoretical and technical knowledge needed to
- Identify key planning issues within the context, interpreting them concerning spatial characteristics, the intentions and roles of stakeholders, and urban planning instruments
- Formulate and argue a proposal appropriately, with a clear understanding of its implications.

The course takes place through: - lectures dedicated to the most relevant conceptualizations of the contemporary urban condition, to the basis of urban planning, to the interpretation of territorial/spatial issues, to the tools and processes of urban planning, to the methods of analysis and representation, to the communication and project tools; - thematic seminars, also with the contribution of teachers from other disciplines and subjects directly involved in urban planning and design practices; - exercises and activities to be carried out in groups. The exercises include work in the classroom, surveys, and activities to be carried out remotely. There will be moments of collegial discussion, to increase the capacity for comparison between different points of view and for a critical reflection on one's work. The group work will be collected in a "Notebook", to be delivered before the exam.

Modalità Frequenza

Attendance is compulsory according to the regulations. In the case of an extension of the health emergency by COVID-19 all the provisions that regulate how teaching activities and student evaluation are carried out will be implemented.

Modalità Valutazione

The exam consists of a discussion about the contents of the Notebook. The student's ability to communicate and discuss the project, in relation to the reference readings and the topics covered in the lessons, will be considered.

Programma

The pervasive character of the urban condition has given rise to unprecedented and complex urban forms. Metropolitan city, city-territory, generic city, etc., have been followed by a proliferation of definitions, all attempting to capture the emergence of the urban condition, to mark its boundaries, or at best to deny its existence. A proliferation of images/figurations and counter-images/figurations - Ecumenopolis, No-stop city, Stop-city, etc. - has been produced by the culture of urbanism, all of which radically express the impact of the logics that underpin contemporary urbanisation - and the modern urban condition.

At the same time, the notion of the rural continues to navigate not only in the common sense, but also in the administrative and political spheres. There are still vast areas that are de facto rather isolated or simply do not offer the same conditions for the full realisation of an urban lifestyle, yet they are still subject to the forces of urbanisation and the proliferation of its multiple potential implications. These areas are often stimulated by the relentless global competition to attract investment and tourist flows, if not simply to provide the basic living conditions for the active population to stay in place (a job, basic services, an active social life, etc.).
In Italy, a country that has historically been characterised by a strong polycentrism that has led to a sprawl of small centres and hamlets, there has been increasing attention in recent years to areas far from the main urban centres. This has led to the launch of the 2012 National Strategy for Inner Areas (SNAI). Beyond the institutional definitions, the inner area can be considered as the closest to a rural situation.

But where does the city end? Does it end at all, and in what sense?
In the broader formal and political concept of city form, the definition - and the concept - of the spatial and political, but also mental limit is at stake (see Aureli and Tattara, 2011).

The course offers the opportunity to develop a critical view of contemporary urbanisation, in particular the urban-rural dynamics and their impact on specific inner areas of the Italian territory.

A longitudinal section of the Italian territory - or transect - is the preferred situation to study, the source of insights and the testing ground of hypotheses. The transect cuts through a given territory, from a specific, identifiable urban condition - and city form - to a rural situation that falls within a specific inner area of Italy, as defined by the SNAI. Along this territorial section it will be possible to read the transition between what is commonly recognised as urban and, on the other side, what is commonly defined as rural.
