Specific course objectives

The course aims to provide students the necessary theoretical knowledge and application tools to deal with a complex urban project and to develop, up to the scale of architectural detail, the project of a residential building.

Course programme

The course is organized in lectures, tutorials and project activities. Study visits in Italy and abroad and guests from the world of research and the profession will be a part of the didactic activities. The course is divided in two parts: the first is referred to the urban project, with particular reference to the transformation of abandoned sites in the urban area, the second part deals to deepen and develop the project of a residential building in all its complexity

Starting from contemporary theories and the most importants international case studies are provided the necessary knowledge that lead to the definition of a project in a large area. The student through the theoretical and laboratory work, will be able to design a master plan on a abandoned existing area verifying, in a real case, the knowledge acquired. The study of the morphological aspects, land use, environmental and ecological conditions, infrastructural system, needs and problems, historical aspects and buildings rules, are the basis of analytical and practical knowledge of a place to find the reasons for the project.
