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.

Type of delivery of the course

The tasks tackle both the spatial and temporal context in which the AAC took shape and emerged n relation to the city of Rome. The idea is to connect the AAC materially, functionally and 'narratively' (history, memories and myth) to the two main ways in antiquity: the Tiber and the Appian Way, in order to enlarge 'tourism footprint' and thereby encompassing secondary routes within the city. The exercise is based upon are cartography, iconography and interpretatation at different scales, master plans, the documentation of the excavation works in the AAC provided to students at the beginning of the course. The groups, in relation to the design choices made within the architectural design module, are free to choose to deepen connections in space and time in the following ways: i) from the inside to the outside, interpreting historical maps, old views atc. by identifying possible pathways but also inquiring permanence and change in urban morphologies mutilated by demolitions. ii) from the outside to the inside. The geographic dimension allows for permanence in long duration. All issues comply with the overall aim of the course. Attendance is compulsory. Those who have not attended at least 70% of the lessons will not be admitted to the exam. The final, individual evaluation is related to the results achieved through the elaborations carried out during the year and the ability to argue the theoretical and methodological contents, with reference to the contents of the lessons, exercises and seminars held during the year and to the recommended bibliography.In the 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. In particular, the distance modalities will be applied with oral test and evaluation of the project

Programme

The Planning module aims to provide students with the basic knowledge of urban planning in general, with particular reference to urban scale analysis. The reading of the context assumes a central role in the Course, cause it allows students to face the use of different techniques and tools (cartographic analysis, photographic campaigns, statistical surveys, listening to citizens, questionnaires, etc. ) aimed to highlight criticalities and potentiaities of a given urban area. This status will then be compared, as far as possible critically, with the "rule of law", ie with the provisions of the current Municipal Plan.

Type of delivery of the course

In order to provide students with the necessary tools to face the applicative part of the Course and to reach a general theoretical framework , lectures will be held containing both theoretical references and practical examples related to the most relevant topics. In order to improve a team work attitude and to share each other materials and skills, some exercises in classroom will be held.

Type of evaluation

Project evaluation and oral exam
