Along with the crisis in urban and natural landscape and in the founding theories of the project too, it is essential to work on the renewal of our compositional tradition. Rootedness in places requires an approach that deals with the fabrics and spaces of cities and landscapes, with their systems of relationship, with the characters and features of urban and architectural composition.

"We really only know what we do": in the wake of Vichian thought, the course intends to organize a didactic experience whose focus is the practice of the project. In this logic also the aspects of theoretical-reflexive matrix will have to find in the development of the compositional proposal their field of elaboration, application, definitive revelation.

The teaching goals concern learning the main instruments and strategies for architectural design principles and methods. They will be tested in the design of an art or music school in a delicate natural or urban site. The design will be developed with concern for main issues, such as interaction aspects, space, materials, light and expression of common values

The workshop is based on two mutually intertwined themes: on the one hand it is a critical reflection on a typology of ancient lineage and potentially bearer of spatial complexity, and on the other it is a comparison on the values of the agricultural landscape, understood as a point of intersection between living and work, nature and built-form.

The student must have passed the laboratorio di progettazione exams. He must have learnt the basic rules of architectural composition, have a good knowledge of urban and architectural typologies, of architectural history, good skills in hand drawing and computer drawing, good knowledge of ontemporary softwares for architectural design computer programs.

Preconditions included in the course of studies.

Lessons will be held on theories and design analysis of a few design experiences. From the start students will have to work on the design of a music or restoration school, in a delicate neighborhood, chosen between two selected by the course. Attention will be given to design principles, theoretical thought, spatial choices, languages and the ways they are represented by drawings and models or videos.

The Design Studio activities will be modelled on the example of the design seminars or workshops; the time available will be entirely devoted to the work of the students at the site - research, drawing, maquette; a modality that is a cast of what happens every day in a workshop. The frontal lesson will be interpreted as a brief communication on singular and specific aspects related to the topics dealt students. The project will be prepared by working groups of three students.

The course includes four exercises to be taken during the semester.
-Landscapes
A black and white square photograph of 12 centimeters on a side and a text of 1000 characters (including spaces) will be the result of a reading-comprehension exercise of the project site that each working group will have to face: a hermeneutics of the places as a compulsory path in the direction of their possible and necessary transformation; the image and the writing could be the outcome of a theoretical reflection, a description, an emotion, a cultural memory, an iconographic reference; the mentioned materials will be assembled according to an assigned lay-out (A4 vertical sheet, printed on 210 grams heavy paper). The set of readings will define a multiple landscape according to the mythopoetic energy of the world "as it is".
-Repertoire
Each working group must agree on the study of a structural typology concerning the theme of the "big roof". The analysis will be presented according to an assigned lay-out (vertical A3 format sheet, printed on 210 gram heavy paper). The set of case studies will define a repertoire.
-1 model 10 images
Presentation, according to the Kahnian distinction of Form and Design, of the konzept of the project proposal through a study model (to be held in the palm of one hand) and ten images. Each working group will present a projection (power-point/pdf horizontal sheet) articulated as follows:
Image 0: header, names of group participants, motto of the project proposal
images 1-5: exercises of spatial hermeneutics - design references, interpretation of place and type
images 6-10: salient points of the existing project - regulatory layouts, structure, materials.
The tools used will be photography, drawing, three-dimensional model, conceptual diagram, quotation (cinema, plastic and visual arts, literature etc.).
-Blue Notebook
The compilation of the notebook follows a mode signed by Ettore Sottsass in the magazine "Domus" and then collected in the volume Foto dal finestrino (Adelphi 2010). Short writings (quotations, descriptions, original writings, etc.) to which small photographic images printed on plain paper will be associated. The iconographic material - original or taken from magazines, volumes, catalogs, printed matter - can be the result of a montage (papier collé, montage, photomontage, mixed media); title/subject:
Terramare
terramare stands here for the space of threshold, of transit, of passage; the region, the interval - conceptual and physical - between two territories, two domains, two orders of discourse. References can be taken from visual arts (painting, cinema, photography, video art, graphics) from plastic arts (landscaping, urban planning, architecture, sculpture, design) from writings (literature, philosophy, poetry).
editorial standards
Moleskine notebook 12,8x21 cm (white sheets) with blue cover;
first page: title Terramare / last page: author's name and e-mail address;
coupled pages: left side: a photograph - printed on small format plain paper (also black/white); right side - a short sketch as a personal reflection or quotation (black ink is recommended). The size of the photographs will preferably be the same for the entire collection; all 80 pages of the notebook must be used. The exercise is individual.

Knowledge will be tested during the course with the development of the student’s work and the final architectural design proposal.

The experiences carried out in the Design Studio will be subject to specific judgment and will contribute to the final evaluation.
List of materials required to pass the test:
three-dimensional models of the project proposal (scale 1:500 - size and morphology of the model according to lay-out - cardboard-wood construction material in suitable thicknesses).
drafting of the boards according to lay-out.
exercises: the original products of Repertorio and Red Notebook.
portfolio containing the results of the different exercises, the project report, plans, sections, profiles, renderings; it is possible to insert graphic works not present on the boards for a better understanding of the project proposal (format and layout according to layout).
dvd with all the files produced during the workshop (first name, surname, e.mail address and mobile phone of each member of the group).
The oral test will consist in the discussion of the project outcomes: synthesis skills, argumentative rationality, competence in the use of a specialized vocabulary are the main indexes in the verification of learning.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO V
PROF. ARCH. FABRIZIO ROSSI PRODI

The design activity concerns a medium size music/entertainment school or restauration school. The music/entertainment school includes individual study/lesson spaces (for both individuals and small groups), an auditorium with 100-150 seats for general practice, a few classrooms for theoretical communication, a library, reception, secretariat and meeting areas. The art school includes individual study/lesson spaces (for both individuals and small groups), a few ateliers, an auditorium with 100-150 seats, a library, exhibition areas, reception, secretariat and meeting areas. The student will be free to modify the functional program and adapt it to specific purposes that he/she can propose.
The student will have to analyze the themes of landscape and urban landscape, settlement principles, artistic and musical practice, places of cultural production, acting, exhibition and acoustics.
The music school will be designed on an area chosen by the student between two alternatives: 1) Piazza de’ Ciompi, 2) Area ex Ospedale di Camerata, placed between via della Piazzola and via di Dan Domenico (including the demolition of the exiting health facility).
The activity will be carried out individually or in pairs at most. The project must be designed according to scale 1:200 in at least 6 70x70 cm or 70x100 sheets with one or two drawings per sheet, including mass plan (1:500/1:1000), plans, at least one perspective section, two elevations, views and an A4 document (even several sheets) showing conceptual schemes to explain the founding criteria of the project, along with an illustrative report of no more than 2.500 characters on single A4 sheet.
As an alternative to rendered views, the student may present a short video of no more than two minutes.
To be eligible for reviews (until 1 November) the student must submit in paper format at least the planimetric/planivolumetric plan, conceptual schemes, first hypotheses of plan aggregation in scale 1:200, section and a 3D model; to be eligible for the following reviews the student must produce at least complete plans 1:200, 1 section, 1 elevations, 1 rendered view, in addition to the 3D model.
