Programma

The course proposes the study of a historical artefact in order to teach the main phases of architectural restoration: cognitive analysis through direct and indirect sources; survey and critical study of the artefact; design hypothesis. Through lectures, seminars and weekly reviews, the student is guided through the different phases of critical reading and philological analysis of the study theme. Individual or group research is conceived as a project tool, necessary to instruct guidelines and specific restoration and valorisation actions. The lectures and application activities of the course are also carried out with the contribution of external specialists (public institution officials, companies and restorers).

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.
