The course aims to address the topic of conservation of contemporary architecture, with particular reference to those of the first half of the twentieth century and the period between the two world wars, when construction systems based on reinforced concrete and steel had a great diffusion.
A critical reading of these architectures will be proposed through a methodology that takes into account the multiple instances underlying an architectural work, providing the basic tools for understanding and interpreting the built environment, in order to recognise and preserve their formal and constructive values.
In relation to the criteria for carrying out the restoration interventions, the most appropriate tools will be identified to face the conservation project.
a basic knowledge of conservation principles and the current debate is required, as well as basic knowledge of history of architecture.
The examples presented in the lessons will be discussed with the students and, where possible, visited directly to verify the results of the restoration intervention.
Selected examples will be required to develop graphic and historical research on conservation problems in contemporary architecture.
The oral exam will verify the understanding of the restoration criteria applied and the reasons that guided the intervention on examples presented during the lessons.
In the History section, the basic knowledge acquired during the course will be tested.
The discussion of the individually produced paper contributes to the final assessment.
In the history lessons, the evolution of the contemporary architecture in the first half of the twentieth century will be introduced, starting from the Modern Movement until the more recent developments, with a focus on the Italian case. At the same time, some emblematic examples of contemporary architecture that had to be restored, in order to continue to be a reference for the history of architecture and contemporary living, will be addressed, such as:
The course includes three credits of History of Contemporary Architecture.
