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.
1_The study of the territory and planning instruments.
2_The project for the regeneration of a neighbourhood.
3_The architectural project.

In the second teaching unit (2 CFU), these issues will be addressed with particular regard to Rome Capitale and Roma Città Metropolitana, in close connection with the training objectives of the Laboratory.
The work of reading and interpreting the contexts preparatory to the project requires a view from afar and from above.
1) the view from afar (history and stories) crosses the phases of the 'construction' of the city over time;
2) the view from above (geography and planning) crosses morphologies, uses, cultural issues rooted to the place starting from the major marks of nature and history.

The module is split into into two didactic units, which allows a better finalization of means-end relationship in tackling regeneration issues, with a main reference to the case studies proposed within the Laboratory. Therefore, lectures, seminars with experts, teamwork aimed at investigating selected cases of urban regeneration are foreseen. Attendance of the course is mandatory.Attendance

The module’s aim is to promote coherence between the architectural project and the built environment’s design. The module develops detailed design approach to the local scale.
Knowledge will be imparted through lectures on:
- regeneration’s strategies of contemporary city;
- description of several regeneration’s projects;
- major concepts used in the analysis and understanding of the built environment (townscape analysis, morphology, uses, natural environment);
- description of differents masterplans and design code.
The module experiments a design’s method based on site analysis, evaluation and project referred to the local dimension.
The final work, prepared in class seminars, concerns:
- urban design analysis of the local context (urban pattern, open space and environmental issues, infrastructure and transport issues, community and social issues, existing community facilities, development issues/current initiative);
- critical understanding of people’s diverse everyday uses, problems, link and project opportunities, site analysis summary;
- strategic context framework plan and project opportunities as answer to the revealed contradictions.
Students, in investigation’s group, have to produce four outlines: two concern the urban design analysis of the local context and two describe the project through the elaboration of a masterplan, the formulation of a design code and project’s vision.
In the final examination each student presents an overview of the work which is followed by discussion on the issues raised. The module encourages student to develop a critical perspective on their own work.
