Architecture

There will be ex-cathedra lectures, assisted by direct student participation, and practical exercises conducted within the laboratory and subject to periodic spot checks. Summary description of lecture topics: - current events in architectural restoration: innovation and theoretical reflection; - topicality of architectural restoration: operational scenarios and case studies; - the restoration profession: scopes, applications and perspectives; - restoration project deliverables: graphic documents, reports, price list, bills of materials and specifications; - the restoration site; - digitization and restoration: a general overview of the method and tools available; - digitization and restoration: the use of the Mappa del Rischio del Ministero della Cultura for damage prevention and conservation management. Subject of the exercise: - data acquisition related to the characterization of the factory being restored of its state of preservation based on the material provided by the course possibly accompanied by timely and contained additions; - development of the restoration project in the required levels of progressive definition; - filing of an architectural asset in the Mappa del Rischio platform and calculation of the vulnerability of the asset.

The student should have acquired the skills necessary for the study of the historic building, the analysis of its state of preservation and the development of the restoration project (according to the contents of the Elements and Restoration Laboratory courses).

- Theory and practice of restoration: • F. Doglioni, Nel restauro. Progetti per le architetture del passato, Marsilio, Venezia 2008 - Digital tools for restoration and conservation: • D. Fiorani, A. Donatelli, M. Acierno, S. Cutarelli. A. Martello, Historic centers, restoration digitization. Applications and first regulations of the Risk Charter, Sapienza University press, Rome 2022.

Attendance at lectures and tutorials is compulsory - as per the course regulations - and must cover at least 70 percent of the total hours scheduled for the course. It must also be 'active,' i.e., ensure participation in classroom discussion and project development work.

Strictly individual examination will focus on the presentation of the work done in the course and discussion of the topics covered in the lectures. The development of the design and computer exercises is followed within the laboratory, through focused explanatory lectures, developments of the different topics; entry to the exam will be subject to a final review of the work done and its approval. Files corresponding to the boards developed for the exam are requested to enable archiving of the course material. The required papers will be calibrated to the specific nature of the subject matter but should conform to some general requirements: a) graphic documents in UNI format (cm 59.4 x 84.1) numbered progressively and containing a header with general indications (university, faculty, course, lecturer, academic year, theme of study, topic of the individual plate) and the names of the authors. b) a short written report must contain: - brief description of the building (about 400 words); - technical analysis of the materials and structures (about 400 words); - chronology of the complex with references to sources (400-800 words) - historical-critical summary of construction events (400-800 words); - concise assessment of the main issues posed by conservation, structural and material degradation (400-800 words); - illustration of the project, starting with the historical-critical evaluation of the object of investigation and description of the main objectives of the restoration, then pointing out the issues related to functional aspects and possible regulatory adaptation, finally completing with the brief description of the technical aspects of the intervention (800-1200 words); - pdf extract from the completed Mappa del Rischio data-sheet; - bibliography; - photographic documentation and any documents significant to his knowledge of the factory (5-6 pages); - individually prepared project proposal sheets. c) drafting of bill of quantities, price analysis and specifications according to the guidance provided by the course.

Further references will be provided during the course, also by making the material available on the Sapienza e-learning website.

The course combines ex cathedra lectures related to the treatment of the historical, theoretical and technical content of the discipline with seminar activities and tests conducted on the work done by the students. The ex cathedra lectures associate the traditional system of exposure of the content to the students by the lecturer with experimental systems that involve the direct involvement of the students, thanks to the use of material preliminarily entered into the e- learning platform and the use of other digital tools The reviews of the work done by the students also combine moments of individual discussion with moments of collective debate, in which the learners present themselves as a proactive and active part of the common work. The development of the exercise is followed within the laboratory, through focused explanatory lectures, following the proposed topics from time to time.
