| Contents | The course, in synergy with the theory module and supplemented by seminars, is divided into theoretical lectures, design reviews and group exercises. A philological approach to the restoration project is proposed through the methodological analysis of consolidated and emerging strategies in the field of valorization and protection of the built heritage. Borrowing historical research, architectural survey, and critical analysis of material and structural degradation, the contents necessary to ground the possible design choices within an ethically connoted horizon are thus provided. |

| Educational objectives | Acquisition of suitable theoretical and technical skills for the critical analysis of the genesis (e.g., ancient and modern treatises, phases of archival research, etc.) and the of the actual state of the built heritage (e.g., direct and indirect survey methods and tools, non-destructive diagnostics, etc.). Knowledge and ability to design restoration interventions according to traditional and innovative techniques and to evaluate the eventual outcomes in terms of effectiveness, reversibility and architectural compatibility. Capacity to identify the fundamental interactions between the aforementioned activities, in a metadesign conceptual framework, and the critical aspects related to material and structural degradation related to real case studies of high cultural and historical value. Development of the architectural sensibility and cultural background, proper of the restoration field, aimed at the elaboration of correct intervention strategies that, with an interdisciplinary approach, able to harmonize the up-to-date requirements in terms of safety and accessibility and the needs connected to safeguard, use and valorization of the built environment. |
| Prerequisites | History of Architecture. Architectural composition. Architectural survey. Principles of solid mechanics and basic concepts connected to Building science. |
| Teaching methods | Face-to-face lectures, individual practical exercises and a group project exercise, with punctual in-depth seminars. |
| Other information | Attendance to classes is optional but strongly recommended. |
| Learning verification modality | The oral test, which lasts approximately 45 minutes, is aimed at verifying the student's level of knowledge of topics and case studies covered in the course and her or his or ability to fully understand and synthesize them. The competence in presenting the issues addressed, their inter-relationships and the possible interventions will also be assessed, with particular reference to the student's personal contribution in treating the project work developed in group on the theme of the year. |
| Extended program | Introduction to the restoration project in history and contemporaneity. Critical analysis of the context and actual state of a heritage building. Historical-iconographic and archival research methods in the path of knowledge. Recalls of architectural survey with reference to complex architectures. Methodologies and instruments, applied to real case studies for the diagnostics, non-invasive investigation and material survey of masonry textures. Principles of mechanics of masonry buildings and arched structures. Damage mechanisms and crack patterns in relation to seismic assessments, numerical modelling and traditional and new consolidation techniques. Analysis of material degradation, with particular attention to the phenomenology tied to different stone materials, their properties and architectural role. Materials and techniques for the conservative restoration of masonry members, decorations and architectural surfaces in a cause-effect relationship. Contemporary paradigms for a sustainable construction industry through virtuous examples of restoration, reuse and management of cultural heritage. |

| Contents | The teaching, in synergy with the laboratory module and integrated with seminars, is divided into theoretical lessons, classroom reviews and group design exercises. An initial approach is proposed focused on the history and theory of architectural restoration which, starting from the Renaissance, reaches the latest contemporary theories through the analysis of emerging schools in the field of valorization and conservation of built heritage. In the second part of the course, a case study is examined on which the historical critical analysis activity is carried out aimed at the restoration project of the property. |
