Educational objectives

General learning outcomes
Main objective of the design studio is making the student able to know and interpret the structural behavior of existing constructions, especially unreinforced masonry ones possibly having timber or steel horizontal structures, with respect to gravity and earthquake loads. Moreover, the design studio gives the knowledge for a preliminary assessment of structural performance and of strengthening interventions aiming at urban regeneration.

Specific learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding skill
At the end of the course the students know the actions that may affect a construction and what limit states may compromise its performance. Moreover, they know materials such as masonry, timber and steel. They are aware of the most common investigation techniques. They know what are the most effective intervention strategies for the strengthening of analysed existing constructions against gravity and seismic loads, as part of a regeneration design. They know how to model local collapse mechanisms, timber and structural elements under shear and bending, thrusting structures.

Applying knowledge and understanding skill
At the end of the course the students are able to combine actions and determine their effects on structural elements. They are able to determine the studied material mechanical parameters based on the knowledge process and the considered limit state. They apply to a real case study the modelling of local collapse mechanisms, of timber and steel elements under shear and bending, thrusting structures, and the design of a regeneration intervention.

The cognitive approach will guarantee the knowledge of the site and the recognition of the "values" to be safeguarded.
The methodological approach will be divided into phases: observation, interpretation and evaluation of the structure of the city and its current structure.
The design approach will be interrelated and directed to the critical management of complex balance (regulation of transformation dynamics) that, between conservation and development, between conservation and development, in urban areas, they involve cultural and environmental heritage.
Within the thematic area of urban, environmental and landscape regeneration and of the redevelopment of cultural and architectural heritage, the operational framework will include an organic and correlated complex of urbanistic and architectural value activity, and will involve the enhancement and the recovery and activate a strategy of project aimed at restoring balance to the processes of management and transformation of cities.
