Educational objectives

The entrance workshop to the Learning from Rome training course aims to introduce the student to the themes and specificities of the training course in close relation to the host city, Rome, as a teacher of architecture. A city in which the relationship with the existing architectural and archaeological heritage is an unavoidable contextual condition for the work of the architect.
Rome presents a vast cultural reservoir, which offers a rich possibility of confrontation and in-depth study of design issues consistent and congruent with the objectives of the Degree Course.
The workshop represents a common moment of initiation of activities, involving almost all the faculty of the Degree Course.
The workshop aims to interface with the world of work, involving the rich spectrum of interlocutors in the Roman context: directors of museums and archaeological areas, superintendencies, Roma Capitale.

Educational objectives

In the workshop, all issues that contribute to the design of the project for the transformation, reuse and/or modification of the large existing building stock, including those lacking, apparently of historical-artistic values, are addressed from a theoretical and operational point of view
- Knowledge and understanding skills:
The student will develop skills of analysis and understanding of the spatial value inherent in the existing built heritage, in order to be able to act with a view to conscious and competent reuse, functional to the return in the productive cycle of the same. He/she will be guided in a path of acquiring critical-analytical tools useful to grasp the concrete material and structural characteristics of existing buildings, but also to appreciate the poetic/evocative aspects of the same, observed as a concrete and crystallized restitution of stories of lived life, sedimented on the internal and external surfaces of the buildings.
The student will also develop the ability to prefigure possible strategies of modification of the existing in terms of reconfiguration of internal encroachments and external volumes.
Finally, the student will acquire knowledge regarding the ways in which pre-existing buildings can be transformed and technically adapted, acquiring an awareness of the value and significance, including the aesthetic-figurative significance, of those operations.
- Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
At the conclusion of the workshop, the student will be able to elaborate a project of reuse of an existing building through the tools of composition and interior architecture, paying attention to the value of spaces and their constitution as ordered sequences of acted spatiality.
He or she will also have acquired the ability to apply design control of the existing space through the elaboration of detail with which to prefigure the implementation process.
Finally, the student will have acquired the ability to apply to specific cases the technical solutions and quantitative/qualitative parameters that substantiate the project of plant upgrading/renovation of an existing building by making the technological components part of the aesthetic-figurative character of the reuse project.
