Programme

The Urban Planning Laboratory introduces urban design and urban planning through the fundamental elements of the discipline, namely the analysis of the city and the territory at the different relation scales of the settlement phenomena; the knowledge of theories and significant experiences of urban planning and spatial planning of the twentieth century; the understanding of regulative and planning tools. Further focuses are aimed to learn the dynamics of territorial transformation in the last decades and the most significant themes of the contemporary city (environmental sustainability, urban mobility, smart city, public space, regeneration and reuse, etc.). The objective of the Laboratory is to develop the design attitude for the theming and the definition of an urban space, experimenting the appropriate communication and representation techniques. In particular, the application part will refer to the preparation of a masterplan aimed at activating urban regeneration processes in an urban context included in the III Municipality of Rome.

Type of delivery of the course

The Laboratory will take place through the administration of lectures and conducting exercises in the classroom, in order to provide students with a theoretical and practical background to put in use in the implementation of the application part.

Attendance

Compulsory attendance at 75% of teaching hours

Type of evaluation

The vote will be expressed with a general and summary judgment on the work carried out, taking into account frequency, respect for deliveries and the growth achieved (originality, in-depth analysis, autonomy of processing). Students will produce a final paper that narrates, summarizes and witnesses the path taken during the various activities of the Laboratory. The final paper must be sent via mail to the professor a week before the exam date. The student will have to reply to some questions related to theoretical part of the Laboratory. The oral section of the exam will take place on line, using Microsoft Teams platform.

Programme

The Studio deepens and experiments some methodological theses on the construction of the urban project with particular attention to the formative reasoning of the design qualities and to the contents, holding counted of its economic-operational feasibility and of the attended spatial results.

The objective is to teach to produce a deduced interpretative reasoning and a scheme of territorial organization that allows, using the tools of plan, to direct the transformations, to choose and to put in coherence the different proposals, in reference to the character-value of the places and local demand.

In the preparation of the plan, particular attention is turned to territorial demand, to the evaluation of the objectives and the strategies of the change, to the configuration of the programmatic organizational model and the actions of plan.
Integrative lessons in the studio are:
A) the formative reasoning of the plan ( problems, values and local demand)
B) urban structure reading and evaluation methods, the plan construction and his technical and normative expression
C) typologies of intervention reference to: the form-structure, the graphics and normative expression …

Method:
The formulation of the problem, beginning from the survey of the local demand, to find the general objectives to assume for the plan: interpretation of the context and the place reading using the structural paradigm of the characters and the component systems (systems of environmental and historical values, green discontinuity and residual rural landscapes; urban typologies; uses;infrastructure); synthesis of the existing structure and selection of the trasformation dynamics; Plan operations of construction / transformation of the structure; formal and spatial results of the proposed solutions; evaluation of the compatibility and the effectiveness of the plan in comparison to the objectives and feasibility of some proposed operations.

Organization of the studio and examination
The work is developed in group. The studio is offering specific contributions and readings. The final examination is based on the discussion of the plan.

Programme

In the last fifty years of the last century, cities have more than doubled their physical size and, in general, land use, for urbanization purposes, has grown exponentially. It is an urbanized area that, in some cases, has also become a metropolis but without passing through the city. A territory whose structure is not stable but where everything still needs to be rethought, modified.
An increasingly diverse and fragmented population crosses this territory, inhabits it, uses it and transforms it. The city is crossed less and less by the inhabitants and increasingly by individuals who use it. A floating population crosses the places of the city, uses them, demands that the city works but does not care for it: the city as a product, not as a social construction.
In this scenario, traditional urban planning tools risk being reduced to mere knowledge of techniques without understanding, or without being aware of, the effects and implications of doing.

The course brings students closer to the main approaches inherent in the problems of contemporary urban conditions. Lessons and laboratory activities, with the active participation of students, will explore the main theoretical evolutions of urban studies. Students will be offered the twofold theoretical matrix of urban planning: the theories of why, in the sense of the reasons for urban planning, and the theories of how in the sense of the formation of the city and the structuring of the territory produced by different anthropic activities.
The course has the following objectives:
1. give students a representation as comprehensive as possible of the theoretical conceptualizations of urban problems;
2. to help students develop their creative skills and critical sense in the perspective of an operational practice that concerns the transformation processes of the built city;
3. enable students to read an urban context through urban exploration and the collection of indirect data;
4. enable students to formulate an urban project that contains appropriate intervention proposals for urban restructuring processes.
In addition, students will be called upon to argue the proposals for intervention, to support and defend them through public communications.

Type of delivery of the course

The course is structured with lessons and seminars The laboratory is divided into three phases. 1. The first phase includes two preparatory exercises, on the themes of density/intensity of use and reading and interpreting the characteristics of an urban context. 2. The second phase consists of an analytical and synthetic exploration of the settlements of a large area, along the Tiber valley north of Rome. The fragmentary and occasional link between built-up areas, open spaces, and infrastructures at the metropolitan scale is a peculiar characteristic of living in the Roma Grande Format, a hybrid territory still to be partially interpreted. The students' design contribution consists in identifying the traces of the future that emerge. 3. The third phase consists of a reflection on the questions that structure the forms of living outside Rome. The design contribution consists of an elaborate that highlights these issues to transform them into a conscious design action.

Attendance

For 75% of the duration of the laboratory

Type of evaluation

The examination is individual and takes place by taking an oral test starting from the illustration of the "laboratory notebook" which collects all the documents produced during the laboratory. The evaluation of the project takes place during the exam and forms part of the oral exam.
