Programme

The major aim of the course is to confront the students with a critical assessment of structural systems of historical buildings, comparing design projects with historic preservation handbooks.
In order to increase the knowledge of historical heritage, the students will therefore be asked to analyse structural and morfological systems. Lectures with the course of "Design and Restoration A" are planned.
Topics of the lectures:
- The practice of architecture and the art of construction. Handbooks and technical literature between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries by way of comparing construction practices with materials. Handbooks of “Architettura Pratica” and preservation handbooks.
- Building elements: walls and vaults, roofs and floors, doors and windows, façades.

Programme

The project of conservation requires diverse phases which are correlated to each other, such as: the metric and geometrical surveys made through photo maps, historical analyses, stratigraphies of materials, structures and the diagnosis of the conservation project. The course aims to give the student the basic tools to realise the entire project. This will be undertaken through theoretical classes and practical exercises. At the end of the course the student will be expected to be able to recognise the diverse materials needed both to define the correct architectural interventions and the most compatible ones. The course aims to sensitise the students to the maintenance and protection of the old materials of the buildings, limiting invasive changes until they become absolutely necessary. For that reason the lessons will go deeper into some of the essential concepts of the culture of restoration: authenticity, stratification, limits, compatibility and the wrong use of materials.

Type of delivery of the course

The course takes place with lessons on the topics of knowledge and design and practical design exercise on a specific case Attendance on the course is mandatory and failure to attend at least 90% of classes means that you will not be allowed to complete the final exam. In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.

Attendance

Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%

Type of evaluation

Those students that choose the first option of exam (the group project) need to have the topic approved by October, so that by February they can conclude the whole project of conservation. The reviews of the project will be part of the exam and so marked as such. Moreover, during the reviews the student will also be examined about the program discussed during the course since those are the cultural bases to understand the basic project of conservation. Those students that choose the exam based on the bibliography and the course will be individually examined. During November there will be the first written exam on the given bibliography, on the course and on the practical exercises of the project. Those who fail to pass this first part will not be allowed to complete the final exam.
