RECUPERO E CONSERVAZIONE DEGLI EDIFICI

The course aims to provide knowledge of problems, methodology and analytical tools to address the recovery design of built heritage and assess its environmental sustainability. the student will acquire a critical awareness to identify design strategies and choice technological solutions compatible with the existing buildings, environmentally friendly and appropriate according to the values of the built heritage.

The topics of the programm of theoretical lessons will be presented through classroom lectures. During the course the students will also develop a refurbishment design, with periodic reviews by the teacher.
