The transformation of the city is accompanied by processes of reuse of buildings and areas that are not used or which are affected by processes of disposal or functional reconversion or environmental interventions.
The course aims to provide the student with the tools and methods necessary to place the project within these processes. Reuse and adaptive reuse directly call into question the relationships between body and spaces and between inhabitants and buildings, connoting the action of the project in the sense of an openness to the contributions and desires of possible users and inhabitants in general. Open, inclusive design practices that engage in dialogue with those interested in transformation will constitute a particular focus offered to students together with the relevance that artistic and performative initiatives can play in these processes.

The course will focus on the general issues of adaptive reuse, presenting project and best practice to outline cases and opportunities for this kind of intervention. Special consideration will be given to temporary reuse processes, seen as moments of experimentation and prologue for longer-term interventions.
The course aims to provide students with a critical approach of the issues related to adaptive reuse, stimulating the student’s capacity to envision incremental processes that consider economic and social factors in development perspectives.
Students will be asked to explore the tangible and intangible aspects of a given urban context, with the aim of increasing their ability to interpret the existing heritage and develop strategies aimed at accommodating new temporary and permanent functions that can reactivate the architectural asset and its context.

Core Documentation
The texts are those that will be the subject of the lectures conducted in the classroom, and will be indicated from time to time. The reference bibliography is given as an example.Type of delivery of the course
The course consist of lectures, seminars, on-site surveys and project workshops. The first part of the course present implemented and ongoing reuse projects through lectures, dialogues and external contributions. This will be followed by research and project exercises to be carried out in groups, which will be evaluated and will contribute to the material for the final exam.Type of evaluation
To succeed in the exam, students will need to demonstrate they have acquired the elements of the discipline provided in the course and illustrate the product of the design exercises.
