Learning Objectives - Part C
To acquire knowledge of the culture of restoration, from the theoretical projects of 19th century via the declarations of principle of the Restoration Charters. To the latest expressions of restoration culture for the conservation of historic buildings, both ancient and modern, urban centres, historic gardens, archaeological heritage, territory and landscape. To learn techniques for surveying and graphical representation – manual and computerised – of buildings and places of historic and artistic interest, including the knowledge and use of highly advanced techniques (lase-scanner and similar).To understand the importance of analysing buildings though historical research and the analysis of original sources, direct investigation of structures, structural surveying, conventional and digital photographic documentation, non-destructive surveys with a high technology content (Thermographic, georadar, etc.).To learn to read the forms of degradation and impairment in buildings and in the territorial areas under examination codes, using traditional and computerised methods, as an integral part of conservation project.To acquire skills for surveying the materials of historic architecture, how they are worked and used, and how they behave over time. Special emphasis is placed on analysing materials: stone, wood, simple and complex masonry and more recent reinforced concrete and modern meta materials.To learn how to prepare a restoration project throughout all the phases of the project, from the survey to the potential restoration approaches, from structural consolidation to proposals for reusing disuses complexes. To prepare for checking regulations and laws governing the technological upgrading of historic architecture in a manner compatible with the existing structures and to learn the technical and bureaucratic procedures for drawing up a restoration project in modern times.To be aware of the complexity and uniqueness of restoration issues, particularly in relation to the delicate balance between old and new architecture, old and new materials, and the general issue of contemporary addition while understanding a place’s identity, and the requirements of conservation versus free expression.To acquire a knowledge and direct experience of the manifold topics and issues arising on a restoration site.
Prerequisites - Part C
Have passed the examination of Restoration Workshop I
Teaching Methods - Part C
The teaching of the course involves, in addition to the normal ex-cathedra lessons, class exercises and to the Florentine buildings. In the context of the Lab, individually or in the small groups, a survey of the architecture is made by the students which is aimed at the restoration project, for conservation and functional rehabilitation into a Case Study.
Further information - Part C
The reviews of processed are made in the classroom.
Type of Assessment - Part C
The students must have completed the theoretical and practical training, and the exercise to get admittance to final exam, producing the papers of technical specifications into a Case Study, as well as the papers produced for Restoration Workshop I. The students works will be completed and delivered at fixed dates. The project documents will be provided during activities.
Course program - Part C
The issues of deepening concern the diagnostic of restoration design in architectural, setting the functional and structural project, conservation project and enhancement of cultural heritage.
