21002038-2 - URBAN PLANNING

The structure of the city is the focus of the laboratory; it is understood as a complex system of relations within which the design of public space takes shape. The program has the objective to compare students with a complex design theme and multi scale, divided into three main stages:
1_The study of the territory and planning instruments.
2_The project for the regeneration of a neighbourhood.
3_The architectural project.

Programme


To deal with a complex and delicate subject, such as the Central Archaeological Area (CAA) in Rome, needs to come to grips with the antinomy permanence-change: Antiquity is challenged by itself and by the projections of Modernity.
The course will go through the debate on the destiny of the area, from the Napoleonic era onwards.
From the previous treatment as a monumental area, accessible to the public as proposed by Berthault, current idea of everyday landscape seems to weaken the reasons for the protection in favor of a conscious use: the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum (2017) goes in this direction. This issue, subject of hot debates, is still open, calling into question sustainability and compatibility matters and ultimately also the need for a buffer zone designed to accommodate services and facilities for tourists and citizens.
However, the sense of place and its material experience should keep intact its aura, giving the community a lively awareness of the current time and welcoming the sense of memories in a problematic, allusive and enigmatic way.

Programme

An experimental workshop to activate new methods of urban and social regeneration of public space through the redefinition of the spaces followed by the realization of a bike route. Starting from this to explore new means to observe, narrate, imagine the city.
Students will be expected to:
• Gain knowledge on the site by direct experiences and urban survey;
• Narrate the city by means of thematic maps;
• Meet the communities and understand participatory practices;
• Make use of the traditional urban analysis and urban framework;
• Operate with micro urban interventions and urban actions in the territory.
The course will focus on urban space as a strategic element for contemporary urban requalification and especially PUBLIC SPACE, as crucial element capable to structure the urban fabric, bring identity. Build relationships and opportunities for environmental and functional issues at a major scale.
The course’s aim is to experiment. Such objective will involve new considerations for the everyday life spaces and the public realm. The final objective is to find and propose a form for the “good living” convinced that it’s achievement is the undeniable and structural priority of any urban strategy.
Obiettivi
The course aims at developing a critical, analytic and planning sensibility for the reading of an urban context and for the urban planning processes capable of obtaining the following objectives:
• Provide students a wide knowledge in urban planning theoretical inputs and urban problems;
• Provide students the instruments needed to develop a creative capability and critical sense in the design process of urban transformation;
• Provide students the instruments for an understanding of the urban context through the urban exploration and direct survey; also instruments for the urban planning design and a proper process of urban renewal.

Type of evaluation

The exam is individual and has an oral part and an evaluation of the exercises and drawings for the exam made by the working group during the semester. The following will be considered for the evaluation: ability to communicate the design structure and the coherence among analysis, objectives and design options which refer to the theoretical and practical concepts developed during the semester. A periodical check on the work in progress is foreseen together with tests on both individual and group work. The exam drawing will be tables at the urban scale (1:25.000/50.000) and project scale (1:5.000 e 1:10.000).
