RESTAURO ARCHITETTONICO E LABORATORIO DI RESTAURO ARCHITETTONICOModule LABORATORIO DI RESTAURO ARCHITETTONICO
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: GIULIA FILOMENA SANFILIPPOExpected Learning Outcomes
The Architectural Restoration Workshop module's training objective is to
test the knowledge acquired in the Architectural Restoration module,
developing a project exercise.
The students, applying the methodology (knowledge, interpretation, project), will have to demonstrate operational skills about the theoretical-methodological contents, observing and studying historical architecture with the criteria of the discipline. The proposed topics will allow maturing autonomy of judgement through integrating the different knowledge aimed at the definition of the project of restoration, reuse and valorisation of architectural heritage. They will critically evaluate, at each moment of the process, the information deduced from the interpretation phase up to the definition of the design solutions.

Course Structure
he workshop provides for a practical design activity on the theme
of the proposed exercise (a building or a building block) articulated
in: The course-unit is structured as follows
- initial presentation of the topic of the exercise and the framework of the questions to be faced with reference to the skills acquired in the fall unit (Architectural Restoration);
- workshop activities (in the classroom and on the field) aimed to develop an applicative approach to the proposed study-case;
- Illustration by the students of the results of the work carried out and collective discussion for the definition of the graphic works to be prepared for the final examination.

Attendance of Lessons
Attendance is compulsory to the extent of 70% of the total number of
hours of the module. For those entitled under Article 23 of the
University Teaching Regulations, the percentage of compulsory attendance
is 50%.
Detailed Course Content
The course contents focus on:
- direct and indirect cognitive analyses
- a graphic and written description of the state of affairs and the problems to be solved;
- the definition of the objectives and criteria of the conservation intervention;
- a graphic and written description of the project and the main technical solutions proposed (on a detailed scale).
Planned graphic works
Album in A3 format consisting of tables that will contain:
- survey with the main information on the context, the historical/constructive phases, the structural aspects and related problems;
- mapping of decay;
- design description of the distribution and restoration solutions of the surfaces and structural elements.

Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
Full completion of the exercise topic and active participation in the
teaching activities of the workshop are necessary conditions for
admission to the examination.
The exercise involves producing drawings demonstrating the execution of the activities proposed by the teacher.
The final examination is purely individual and consists of the presentation of the project exercise drawings and a discussion of the restoration choices concerning the course content of the first semester.
