- Practising of operating in already constructed sites and bridging new proposals with the rehabilitation of existing buildings, in terms of volume and function - Realization of the connection to the proximal space and framing in the studied context - Raising awareness of the students towards a rational perception of the existing urban system - Practising the formative values of the INTEGRATED design system, between architecture, urban planning and technical sciences - Developing the ability of identifying and mastering the complexity of the parameters that influence the design process - The deepening of the sustainable development concept regarding the environmental and ecology issues - The investigation of the possibilities to operate in sites with personality, in ancient sites, affected by interventions in time, or in deconstructed sites - The study of the impact created by the appearance of a new function in an existing urban context.
Content:
Field of Study – CONVERSION - EXTEND, REHABILITATION, SUSTENABILITY A. GUIDED PROJECT Project with a theme developed by the department. THEME: ARCHITECTURAL INSERTION IN A PROTECTED AREA B. LECTURES ON THE THEORY OF THE PROJECT As part of the design studio activity, tutors will deliver theoretical lectures with topics according to current architectural project: site analysis - information processing and interpretation; the personality of a site – examples, characteristics, specific areas, developing conditions, history - the students' proposals - discussing and justifying options; conditioning and specificity of protected areas; densification and enhancement in architecture; mutations - changes in personality. The lectures will be delivered both for the design studio group and for the students of the entire year of study.
Teaching Method:
Checking each student's project, comments on the project in which the entire group takes part, theoretical lectures, site visits, case analyses.
