21002097-1 - RESTAURO

Study of the design process of the restoration of architecture, from the theoretical and analytical fields to the operational aspects. The application of this process has the objective of designing and defining appropriate interventions in architectural restoration of selected case studies. During the workshop technical insights are provided on the importance of historic buildings and the physical technique applied. The module of quantity survey provides the economic and financial evaluation for a possible feasibility and cost effectiveness. Through case studies, students will be able to check the total cost of similar interventions, moving in the direction of improving the quality of existing space.

Programme

The module of Architectural Design of the Restoration and Enhancement within the course will contribute to the treatment of theoretical topics, to the illustration of tools and methods related to the design and execution processes of the restoration through the presentation of models of behavior, demonstrated through real examples at the scales of the territory, the settlement, architecture and its components.
Within the framework of this path, teaching aims to achieve the following learning outcomes:
1) understanding of the production processes of the restoration and enhancement project.
2) the ability to trace, contextualize, analyze and critically interpret the role of direct historiographical sources (critical and targeted surveys) and indirect (bibliographic, iconographic, cartographic, archival documentary) for the purpose of the project and the implementation of the restoration.
3) the propensity to practice the definition of technical solutions for restoration that are technically effective, economically sustainable, philologically compatible.

Type of delivery of the course

The module of Architectural Design of Restoration and Enhancement will provide students with lessons, seminars and, if possible, inspections, some operational elements (cognitive, critical and technical) useful for testing the design and execution process of the restoration. If the structure of the teaching will allow it will be carried out exercises useful to better understand the traditional architectural language, natural premise to the exercise of philological restoration. In the event 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 following new methods will apply. The new methods will be carried out connecting the Student and the Teacher by means of the Microsoft Teams platform. This modality can take advantage of sharing the screen (i.e. the desktop) in order to support the dialogue with graphical and/or textual materials.

Attendance

The teaching is carried out through lectures, seminars and other activities such as exercises and inspections. Attendance is compulsory both in the presence of teaching and in the possible online teaching.

Type of evaluation

The learning test takes place through an individual oral exam and consists in the discussion of the design exercises and the general themes highlighted during the course. In the event 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 following new methods will apply: the exam tests by the new methods will be carried out connecting the Student and the Teacher by means of the Microsoft Teams platform.
