Architecture (Conservation)

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students basic methodology of bibliographic, archival and direct research for what concern written and constructive “sources” in order to retrace the history of architectural phases of single building or urban areas aiming to the conservation and protection of historical architectonical heritage.

Educational objectives

The main purpose of the course is to put students in a position to know how to interpret the mechanical behavior of existing buildings (ancient and modern) and related materials under gravity and seismic stresses. The course also provides knowledge to the assessment of structural and reinforcing interventionswhile respecting the principles of restoration.

Educational objectives

The course provides students with the base and advanced knowledge about the role of architectural survey within the process of understanding of the environment and the architecture. Furthermore, it highlights the aspects of interpretation, compared with the project representation, with the 'reading' of historical buildings,with the mapping of the constituent materials and macroscopic forms of deterioration in order to evaluate the state of conservation of architectural structures.The course also makes specific reference to the latest automatic survey technology and geo-referenced.

Educational objectives

The course objective is to achieve, within the educational process of students, and overall and articulated experience in which converge all the components of architecture disciplinary process. In addition to the essential morphological, technological, constructive and typological in-depth examinations, the course aims to take into account all the data concerning urban settings included construction in historical centers. The project issues located in the urban fabric will be therefore preferably analyzed and taken as case studies.

Educational objectives

This part of the course aims to develop a critical knowledge for the statement of opinion concerning the structural status of conservation of an existing building. Furthermore, the course gives instruments for the identification of structural reinforcement interventions, calibrated in accordance with the limitations of the "boundary conditions" of the problem.

Educational objectives

The course aims to focus the role of cooling, electrical, acoustic, lighting systems and renewable energy in buildings, in terms of the maximum design, installation and maintenance. In particular it will deal with peculiar plant aspects, as well as residential construction, historical buildings, museums and hospitals.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide theoretical and methodological tools needed to set up and develop appropriate renovation intervention aimed mostly at twentieth century architecture. The course consistis of lectures and exercises, themes related to maintenance and building rehabilitation. It will be develop focusing on: a) the survey of pre-existing buildings and urban fabric b) the project and organization of works, c) the different typologies of building firms with different specializations, d) the various stages of execution techniques (structures, roofs, plasters, dampness protection, thermal insulation, heating plant, electrical systems, plumbing etc.).

Educational objectives

The course aims to teach basic knowledge of the history and theory of architectural conservation, and to provide skills in analytical survey, historical investigation, reading and diagnosis of degradation and conservation works; inform the students about regulations and cataloguing; practice in the design of a restoration project. The aim of restoration is not only to conserve the integrity of the risources, but also to reveal it's cultural values and to improve the leggibility of it's design. Restoration is high specialitation operation based on a critical-historical process of evaluation, and must not be based on conjecture.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide the evaluative knowledge for the use of tools to support investment decisions - public and/or private - aimed at the enhancement of disused or under-utilised property assets of historical and architectural value. The competences acquired will allow to carry out consultancy activities also in the framework of public-private partnership procedures, where it is mandatory to identify compromise solutions between the preservation of the historical and architectural features of the property asset to be enhanced and the convenience of the initiative for the investor, in order to guarantee the effectiveness of the intervention also in terms of social, economic and environmental impacts on the territorial context of reference.

Educational objectives

The course aims to convey to the students the theorical and practice knowledge necessary to manage, with full awareness, the development of an architectural executive project of a limited space, to verify the compatibility of the formal intentions with the complex economic restrictions and functional, structural, technological and engineering solutions. In this context, the compliance of the construction project is systematically investigated, identifying the different components and checking the feasibility of design solutions.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide theoretical-methodological and operating tools for carrying out a planning process aimed at upgrading the existing city, with particular reference to degraded suburb contexts and potentially subject to significant changes. This purpose will be achieve both by checking the environmental, morphological, economic-financial and administrative feasibility, and by the choice of innovative tools flexible enough to ensures the triggering of virtuous processes of recovery and renewal by means of the involvement of individuals and private operators in actions of public interest.

Educational objectives

By assuming as a theoretical premise the formation reached during the "Building legislation and government of the territory" course of the first academic year, the course aims to provide students a basic critical knowledge of the current legislation in the field of protection of cultural heritage, with particular attention to monumental and architectural heritage and to the environmental and landscape issues.

Educational objectives

The purpose of including 8 CFU in the training programme is to allow students to integrate their skills through the study of related disciplines.
The acquisition of knowledge, independent study, judgement and expression will be assessed according to the methods specific to the chosen discipline.

Educational objectives

The final exam consists of the writing, presentation, and discussion of a written dissertation, prepared graphically and autonomously by the student, documenting the study topic in an organic and original manner.
