The topic of the programme is the project of a centre for the arts and the performing arts in an area adjacent to the Walls of Rome in the vicinity of the GRAB cycle loop. The objective is the redevelopment of the urban compartment, part of the strategic planning area of the Walls to be enhanced as a linear open-air museum park of the city, as envisaged in the Resources and Objectives maps. Taking its cue from the indications of the 2008 Master Plan of Rome and the socio-cultural and recreational use of urban spaces, the study proposes to transform the area into an educational and cultural campus, with open spaces and green areas equipped for sports and usable by citizens to integrate learning spaces with recreational and motor activities according to the criteria established by the Miur-Agency Indire 2017 of the "innovative school".

To have taken the examinations of the Architectural Design 11°, 2°, 3°. Students are admitted to the Architectural Design Workshop III only if they have taken the exam or obtained the certificate of attendance for the Architectural Design Workshop II. Knowledge of the methods of representation of the architectural projects and of the rudiments of the history of architecture and the city, as well as of the technical, constructional and environmental aspects of the architectural project is therefore required.

Attendance is mandatory. A 70% attendance rate is required to sit the exam, but three consecutive unexcused absences will be enough to exclude the student from the course. Admission to the examination will also depend on the deliverables, which must be strictly adhered to, and on the number of revisions and checks carried out.

The evaluation will cover the urban analysis, concept, framing and design of the building presented with 4 A1 size plates (57.9 x 84 cm), conceptual maquettes, study and final models, an A5 notebook with sketches and drawings of the area, project notes, photographs, and a selection of reference projects. The final assessment will take into account the design process and participation in the workshop during the semester. The examination will consist of an oral presentation of the project accompanied by a ppt projection and the tables and models illustrating the compositional and formal choices, the technologies adopted and the references used.

Design Studio 4 proposes a design theme contextualized in the historic fabric of Tivoli, a medium-sized city about thirty kilometers from the capital. It is a complex urban system, set in an environmental context of high value determined by the secular interaction between natural and anthropic components. Project theme is the recovery and transformation of some underutilized or poorly used areas, within a relevant and stratified urban area, also taking into account significant differences in elevation. The students will work on a common master plan and then focus on more distinct themes, all gravitating around the area of Piazzale Matteotti, south of the city's historic core, at the site of the Rocca Pia, the Blaeso Amphitheater, the Barchetto Estense and a section of the city's ancient city walls. The aim of the Laboratory is to encourage, through innovative proposals, the reactivation of an important portion of the city center, ensuring a process of maintaining - and strengthening - the living and everyday life dimension of the ancient core. The program envisages the construction of residences (a limited amount of housing intended for the open market, not distinguishable from the majority of apartments, dedicated instead to social housing), public services for the new inhabitants and for the city, a limited amount of underground parking, and a new endowment of public spaces with total accessibility to the city.

A fourth-year student should already have reached a level of maturity and design autonomy to be able to deal with the subject of a complex architectural organism. It is then taken for granted that he/she is able to read an urban fabric, design a medium-sized residential building integrated with the context and a public service in an urban area. After undergoing three Architectural Design Studios he/she should have mastered the techniques of representation (hand and digital), a good familiarity with the different scales of design (from urban design to detailing) and with the main architectural typologies. He/she should then demonstrate basic knowledge of the history of architecture and the city, as well as the main constructive, technological and environmental aspects of architectural design. Attendance of courses and the sequence of reporting exams must follow the details of the regulations of the Course of Study.

Attendance at the Design Studio is compulsory: attainment of the 12 cfu is conditional on reaching 70 percent attendance and obtaining at least a sufficient grade on the intermediate exercises. There are some scheduled project progress stages where students will present the required papers with a seminar discussion. At the end of the course, before the first exam call, there will be a pre-exam check that will help the student to figure out which call he/she would prefer to appear at.

The midterm exercises and final project will be evaluated for the clarity and coherence of the proposal, which must be presented by the student with simple but eloquent drawings and models, demonstrating that he or she has achieved a design maturity and ability to represent architecture appropriate to the 4th year. In the examination, each student will set up, as in an exhibition, all the elaborates produced individually and in groups during the course (intermediate and group exercises, final project elaborates). Specific questions may be addressed to the student, who will entrust the exhibition of his or her proposal solely to the materials presented (technical drawings, physical and virtual models, diagrams, more expressive elaborations such as photomontages, collages, etc.). Throughout the Laboratorio, each student will use an A5-size notebook on which, among other things, he/she will elaborate freehand drawings and sketches testifying to the development and progress from the project idea to detailed aspects. The evaluation of the examination is based on the quality and maturity and conceptual rigor of the design choices, the student's autonomy and inventive ability, the level of thoroughness and completeness of the proposal in relation to the proposed theme, and the value of graphic works and models submitted. The number and format of required papers will be communicated during the course.

The teaching activity of the Design Studio will take place in the presence, mainly in the classroom, barring some possible outings to the city (project site) or sites of interest (exhibitions, etc.,). During the individual course days, the teacher will offer lectures on specific course topics in the first part of the afternoon. During these communications each student is invited to intervene with questions, doubts or any comments. In the second part of the afternoon the work will be mainly devoted to the development of the students' project, through collegial reviews, face-to-face reviews. Also crucial is the interaction on the project among the students themselves.

The theme of the course is the design of the area in Trastevere, identified by the PRG as Ambito di Valorizzazione C5. An area bounded to the west by Via di San Michele, to the east by Via Anicia, to the north by Via Madonna dell'Orto and to the south by an existing building. The aim is the construction of a multifunctional system where to place both a Fashion and Handicrafts Centre, intended for young craftsmen and designers, with spaces for teaching, experimentation, production and promotion of ready-to-wear fashion and small craft activities, and a residential area that guarantees both social and generational mixité in order to enrich and diversify the use of the area. Indispensable for this purpose is the careful design of public spaces and public use. The size of the area and the proposed functions presuppose not a single building, but the design of a system of architecture and public spaces integrated and in continuity with the existing fabric, so as to constitute a true piece of the city dealing with the historical fabric and the theme of the block. An essential condition is the urban permeability of the intervention and the connection with the surrounding public spaces also through their redefinition and redevelopment. The choice of a strongly characterised location derives from the desire to propose to the students an almost paradigmatic condition of the theme of the relationship between architecture and the urban context. A relationship that is not formal, but linked to the design of the urban space, to the full-empty relationship, to the relationship that can be established between buildings and public space, to the continuity, quality and hierarchy of the spaces of public use. The Centre for Fashion and Handicraft should be imagined as a place open to the public and to the city. The functions and activities envisaged are studios/ateliers and co-working spaces, a permanent exhibition space and temporary exhibition spaces, indoor and outdoor event spaces and fashion show catwalk, classrooms for teaching, places for resting and dining, a specialised library and bookshop, offices for the management of the Fashion City. Other functions of the student's choice may be included. The residence should provide minimal, versatile housing, intended for young couples and the elderly, as well as for possible temporary use. A deliberate choice has been made not to define a precise SUL but only a minimum for both functions, to allow the students to privilege reasoning on the quality and typology of urban space that they will consider appropriate to propose for the area.

class attendance is mandatory

The examination will consist of a discussion of the design choices and motivations, illustration of the design boards and coherence between motivations and design outcome.

The programme provides a pathway for the elaboration of an architectural project based on four phases: 1. Studying architecture _ the notebook (duration: entire course - individual work) Studying architecture requires different methods than those used for other subjects. One must first develop tools that allow one to understand and memorise spaces, in order to then be able to compose new ones. Redrawing is one of these and consists of drawing plans, sections and elevations, and constructing models. It is useful to draw up interpretative notes and analytical diagrams. It is important to learn to look at things in the world with the eyes of an architect, deciphering exemplary cases from history and the contemporary without prejudice a-Analysing a project, researching the reasons behind the choices made, tracing the relationships between structure and form, technology and language, typology and figure, retracing paths already traced. It is necessary to understand the cultural value of stimulus, as well as of support to operational practice, that relating to "references" in the design act has. b-Besides the more traditional study done in the book, the study of real life, done in front of the buildings themselves, visiting, observing and redesigning them, is suggested and promoted. Certain occasions will be organised during the lessons. From these, students will be able to take an example to continue their own exploration of the 'big book' that is the city. Students will be asked to have a notebook, minimum size A5, with blank pages, in which to write down and redraw the architecture they will study over time (the notebook can also contain project sketches, reflections, etc.). 2. Studying architecture _ the model (duration: 3.5 weeks - work in pairs) To learn how to look at architecture, the best thing is always to go inside it; through reconstruction, carried out with an accurate model, knowledge becomes even more precise and in-depth, being able to literally measure spaces, envelopes, structural and compositional aspects, the play of light on the physical plane. The students, organised in pairs, are asked to create a 1:50 scale model of one of the selected architectures, which will be assigned ex officio. The model is an opportunity to investigate the distributive and constructive aspects, but particular attention is required in understanding and reproducing the quality and properties of the spaces in their layouts, paying attention to the role of materials, colours, fixed furnishings. The examples offered for study are all relevant and comparable in size and will contribute to providing a library of useful references for the whole class. 3. Analysing the context and constructing the model (duration: 2.5 weeks, workgroup of four) For an in-depth understanding of the spatial and metric characteristics of the reference context limited to a significant immediate surroundings, and to constitute a useful basis for subsequent design verifications, an accurate model of the context is required, according to the perimeter provided by the course and prepared for the insertion of design advances, created at a scale of 1:200. The model will be useful for the entire duration of the course as a reference base for updates, which can be quickly verified in relation to the relationships that can be activated with the immediate surroundings. 4. Elaboration of the project solution to the proposed theme (duration: 8 weeks, work in pairs - individual assessment) PROJECT THEME and FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMME Total surface area (TS): 500 m2 gross The requested surface area is to be considered gross and must be arranged within the perimeter known as the "building area"; a maximum of 15% of the TS is permitted outside the edge of the "building area".

The student can enroll in the Architectural Design Studio IV only if he / she has taken the exam or obtained the certificate of attendance of the Laboratory of Architectural Studio III. It is therefore essential that the student is in possession of basic knowledge on: systems of representation of the architectural project and the history of architecture and the city, as well as knowledge of the physical, technical, technological and construction aspects of the architectural project.

The course is organized on the guided progress of the project punctuated by assignments that must be strictly respected, together with lessons and communications congruent with the delivery themes. - The workshop foresees a series of initial deliveries to get closer to the theme and to the place starting at the same time from the opposite scales of the context and the detail; the assignments will have an indicatively bi-weekly frequency, constitute an intermediate verification of the elaboration that each single student is elaborating (study of the place, hypothesis of approach, study of possible references, constructions of project parts, general layout of the area, composition of elements, and deepening of a part) and are to be considered mandatory in order to ascertain the active presence of the student in the Laboratory.
