The knowledge of historic architecture is very important to help the students improve their capacity of understanding the buildings and their design and technical features; this knowledge is gained through the study of the whole of buildings’ motivations, historic context and design features. The wide variety of courses dealing with history of architecture comes from this conviction.
The course of History of Architecture and Methods of Analysis aims at critically retracing the composition process -either ideological, methodical or procedural- at the basis of every architecture; it is directed towards the students of the fifth year of course, that are already aware of the role that history of architecture plays in the design process. In particular, the very role of history in relation to architectural design during centuries is at the basis of the disciplinary orientation meant for the topics at hand, avoiding to take into account the use of simple stylistic issues as repertoire-catalogue and preferring the methodological lesson from the past.
Once the intention of considering above all the historical evolution of the design method has been stated, the language will be dealt with closely during the classes, together with the programmatic criteria and the motivations -even ideological- found in the period of time between the Fifteen century and today.

Programme
The course of History of Architecture and Methods of Analysis aims at critically retracing the composition process - either ideological, methodical or procedural- at the basis of every architecture. It is conceived in two integrated parts. (Part 1) In particular, the very role of history in relation to architectural design during centuries is at the basis of the disciplinary orientation meant for the topics at hand, avoiding to take into account the use of simple stylistic issues as repertoire-catalogue and preferring the methodological lesson from the past. Once the intention of considering above all the historical evolution of the design method has been stated, the language will be dealt with closely during the classes, together with the programmatic criteria and the motivations - even ideological - found in the period of time between the Fifteenth century and nowadays. (Part 2) This section of the course aims at presenting a series of different historical analysis and interpretations, considered of significant value with respect to the scientific background of the author, to her/his methods of investigations, to research goals and chronological context. Written sources, such as texts and visual representations, as well as built architectures and urban complexes, are discussed in a critical perspective. A special focus is dedicated to the use of "diagrams" in architectural representations.Core Documentation

Type of delivery of the course
Classes are organized as a sequence of lessons thematically ordered. Active participation of students is highly recommended. At the end of the course, each student is asked to present a critic paper on a topic previously agreed with the professors: this elaborate, filled by text, images and analytic drawings, can be either in paper or digital format (file .pdf preferred).Attendance
For 75% of the duration of the courseType of evaluation
The oral exam (50% of the total evaluation) is based on the knowledge of the bibliography provided and the topics discussed in class during the course. A written paper is required (50% of the total evaluation), product of a research, possibly individual (or in groups of max two people), about a subject previously agreed with the professors, to be delivered at the end of the course. The oral exam will be on Microsoft Teams, and concerns the bibliography (when available from the web) and the materials (classes and essays) displayed on the folder "materiali didattici" of the course in Moodle E-learning (pdf format). The research "Parallels or Contrasts" must be uploaded as two different files in pdf or ppt format (file Perugini + file Scimemi) in the sharing folder "student work", One Drive/ team Storia e metodi di analisi dell'architettura The research is due on June 1st, 2020 (h 24:00): folder "submitted files" for the ones planning to do the exam in the summer session aa 2019-2020. https://uniroma3.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/STORIAEMETODIDIANALISIDELLARCHITETTURA/Erv2-OOKf81GjR2OBCfeGTUBxIKx-bW4oYyXZ-vpSXYOHQ?e=NyWMbG folder "working files" for the ones planning to do the exam in the following sessions https://uniroma3.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/STORIAEMETODIDIANALISIDELLARCHITETTURA/EqOhDJDh1xZJmwuVea8GaA4BFJ4eGaqwc33cgOGZMT_oFA?e=hEgxDt
