Architecture

A.A. 2024-25 SURNAME Name Prof. PARTENOPE RENATO e-mail renato.partenope@uniroma.it Collaboratori architetti: Sara Petrolati - Vittoria Silvaggi Course LABORATORIO DI PROGETTAZIONE ARCHITETTONICA III (codice 1035676) CORSO DI LAUREA MAGISTRALE IN ARCHITETTURA - 15893 Canale: 1 Semestre: 2 Credits: 12 Contact Hours 125 Program Subject Teaching support: Assistance activities of collaborators - revisions Attendance: mandatory Teaching delivery: traditional Laboratory program and planning activities From a theoretical point of view, the program is focused on the relationship between History and Design in the experience of architecture. It’s a relationship that arises in the debate and cultural reflection, as well as in the operational practice of urban transformations in Italian cities, in a form that is contradictory and difficult to understand. To investigate the relationship between History and Design, the theoretical contribution that Italian architectural culture has produced in the typological and morphological studies of architecture and the city will be critically addressed. The intermediate dimension of this "thought" will be used to identify the specific expressive categories of our discipline and to indicate those elements that archetypically define it and which cannot be altered or manipulated beyond all limits to adhere to the contemporary winning dimension of the architecture/performance. A complex thought, the typological, and full of pitfalls but also full of adventures being the type, at least in our interpretation the most advanced and experimental field of architectural research. Particular attention will be paid to the aspects related to the representation, expression and communication of values of the architecture even beyond the purely operational purposes established by the project drawings. In the didactic experience proposed, the Drawing, and the autograph one in particular, will be the specific way to materialize the thought of architecture and the way to oppose the phenomenon of regression of the hand that characterizes our era and characterizes in particular the studies that concern architecture.A real site for the development of the project will not be indicated but simply a geometric area measuring 360x360 meters which can be extended to form a golden rectangle depending on the needs imposed by the development of the project. A site will have to be designed for this area, i.e. a support morphologically defined by an artificial "nature" where a small human settlement (settlement module) can be proposed, characterized by the multiple spatialities of living: the space of "being" in a place (residence, work, free time, culture) and that of going or "going out" to move in the space of the form of living proposed at different speeds and distances (roads, paths, circuits). Documents requested 1) General plan and dimensioned sections of the site project (1:1000); 2) General plan (volumetric) and dimensioned sections of the settlement module (1:1000); 3) Typical plans of the settlement module at the most significant altitudes (1:500); 4) Transversal and longitudinal sections of the settlement module (1:500); 5) Elevations with shadows (1:200); 6) Detail (1:50 - 1:20); 7) Perspectives and perspective sections of the internal and external space of the settlement module; 8) Model of a segment of the settlement module (1:500); 9) Three-dimensional model (digital model); 10) Sketchbook and preliminary studies (no less than 50 pages in A4 format).

A basic knowledge of the history of art and architecture is necessary with particular attention to our modernity and post-modernity. Having also developed technical expertise in manual and digital drawing to address the complex problem of the representation of architecture which is believed to be the specific way to invent its forms starting from the historicity of its sign but within a strong experimental tension.
