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.
teacher profile teaching materials
A central section of the module is dedicated to the economic evaluation of both public and private projects, with particular attention to restoration works, and incorporates an in-depth study of multi-criteria methods. Workshop activities involve the progressive preparation of project assignments, supported by interim presentations of work in progress and collective review sessions, aimed at consolidating the methodological skills acquired and applying them to the design outputs,

Programme
The program includes a brief section devoted to reviewing the fundamentals of microeconomics and estimation theory, with particular emphasis on principles, fundamental values, and derived values. Subsequently, the module focuses on analytical methods of cost estimation applicable to restoration projects, with specific reference to the analytical process for defining cost values, new price analysis, and the development of the overall economic framework. In this context, practical activities are planned on the use of dedicated software and price lists, including targeted exercises for determining new prices.A central section of the module is dedicated to the economic evaluation of both public and private projects, with particular attention to restoration works, and incorporates an in-depth study of multi-criteria methods.

Attendance is mandatory.Type of evaluation
The module requires the preparation of a written report, complementary to the project-based assignment, in which the following aspects are examined in greater depth: cost estimation for the case studies addressed in the Laboratory, including related feasibility assumptions; and, where relevant, further investigation through the practical application of decision-support tools. Learning assessment is carried out through periodic reviews conducted during the course, including laboratory activities. The evaluation for this module, which contributes to the overall assessment of the Laboratory, is based on the following criteria: quality and completeness of the final report; depth of analysis; ability to apply methodological principles and operational tools presented during lectures; consistency among the different phases of the report (analytical, descriptive, and evaluative); and overall organization. In addition, the quality of the learning process and active participation throughout the module will be taken into consideration. The grade, evaluation, and comments on the final outcome of the module will be communicated to both the examination committee and the candidates in the days preceding the final examination, and will serve as the basis for discussion during the examination itself.
