Learning outcomes:

- Study of different design solutions;
- Choosing a proposal that supports the theoretical concepts found in Leonardo's works;
- Analysis of the opportunities for transformation of a space.

Content:

The documentary material that I inherited from Leonardo da Vinci is characterized by numerous gaps, both in the sketches and in the descriptive pages. Thus, for a correct analysis, the question arises of the reconstruction of the missing elements, for each of its projects. Centro Interdipartimentale di Ricerca sull'Iconografia della Città Europea – CIRICE, in Naples, proposes an original project, which we will carry out based on the understanding of Leonardo's inventions: machines, structures, mechanisms, architectures, details, characters, narrative, functional role, location, form, material, symbolism.
MFass 1 – will be developed in teams of 2 - 3 students
The design theme will propose, first of all, the study of drawings, paintings or architecture imagined by Leonardo da Vinci. At the same time, work will be carried out on the scale of the city of Bucharest and those areas/spaces where an intervention is possible that integrates compositionally the set of urban squares, inner courtyards, abandoned or used buildings will be identified.

Phase 2 – will be developed in teams of 2 - 3 students
The exercise will aim to identify all the lacuna aspects within the chosen location, such as: the lack of coherence in the reading of the space, of some landmarks in the orientation, the partial or total destruction of some elements, urban ensembles, the impossibility of recognizing the identity/memory of the place, the moral degradation of the site.
Following the study of Leonardo's inventions, an object, structure, architecture, image will be chosen that has similarities with the chosen place within the city.

Phase 3 – will be developed individually.
In the last part of the exercise, we want to identify some project proposals, starting from Leonardo's inventions, which will transform the chosen site compositionally, through the notions of order and balance. The integration of mechanisms, structures, architectures will be used to transform the space and give it a new identity, as innovative as the drawings or sketches of the great Italian artist were considered in the 1500s.

Teaching Method:

- theoretical presentations
- site visit and analysis
- individual research
- guidance in the studio
- intermediate presentations

Assessment:

- project presentation in front of the jury
- the final grade is calculated as the average of the notes from the partial and final presentations
