last Canosa Workshop Antico Futuro – programma DEF

Premessa e obiettivi della Scuola-Workshop
La Scuola estiva-Workshop di progettazione architettonica “L’antico futuro a Canosa di Puglia. Archeologia e
progetto” è un’iniziativa promossa dall’Amministrazione Comunale di Canosa di Puglia (tramite il Comitato di
Consulenza Tecnico-Scientifico e Culturale) in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per le province di BAT e FG, dalla ricerca europea “KAEBUP Knowledge Alliance for Evidence-Based Urban Practices”, dall’Ordine degli Architetti P.P.C. di Barletta, Andria e Trani e dalla Fondazione Archeologica Canosina.
L’evento si propone di promuovere il tema della conoscenza a fini progettuali del patrimonio archeologico della città.
Tra gli obiettivi della Scuola e del Workshop vi è, infatti, l’interesse a rilanciare i temi del progetto in ambito archeologico attraverso il confronto critico-dialettico dei partecipanti che esporranno le proprie esperienze di ricerca scientifica e professionale offrendo uno spaccato delle recenti tendenze in questo campo, anche in vista
dell’aspettazione a costruire una prospettiva concreta di intervento basata su idee progettuali – quale strumento
della proposta formativa – finalizzate a delineare scenari di conservazione e valorizzazione di alcune tra le più
importanti e complesse aree archeologiche della città.

Padua is an extraordinary city of water, an island in the plain squeezed between the Bacchiglione and its branches, the Brenta and the city walls still visible today among casemates, bridges and pieces of nature. A city of mythical origins, which is shown today through its ancient, modern and contemporary wonders, obtaining the recognition of “Urbs picta” as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Scrovegni Chapel, the Eremitani Museum and Palazzo Zuckemann are concentrated within and on the edge of the Arena Gardens, defining an urban polarity that requires a reorganization of the museum, but above all a clarifying re-foundation of its urban form. As part of the DiArchitettura association workshop, we proposed an urban project that, with a few moves summarized in the title – points, lines, surfaces – would reconfigure the boundaries, internal connections and overall shape: a re-planning project that intervenes in the body of this part of the city, knowing it, but without giving up its necessary transformation.  A system of poles, ‘mineral’ points and ‘natural’ surfaces that aspires to build a new urban insula dedicated to culture capable of representing Padua as a single great architecture.

 

 

 

 

 

URBAN MORPHOLOGY INTERNATIONAL LECTURES

 

Urban Morphology Course – Sapienza – Faculty of Architecture
Prof. Giuseppe Strappa
2021/2

KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE FOR EVIDENCE BASED URBAN PRACTICES
urban morphology

Kaebup International Lectures is a series of web and in attendance meetings intended to investigate the relations between the discipline of Urban Morphology and Architectural Design.
The initiative relies on the contributions of the international research group Kaebup and of the Sapienza University Urban Morphology Course in Rome. The series of lectures aims to present different methods of reading the built landscape and ways of translating research into evidence-based design. The series of lectures has been organized in the belief that combining research and practice could open up new aspects of the disciplinary debate on the tools of the architectural design.

COURSE IN URBAN MORPHOLOGY 2021/2022

prof. Giuseppe Strappa

arch. Anna Rita Donatella Amato

arch. Francesca De Rosa

arch. Huimin Ji

arch. Alessandra Pusceddu

GOALS

The course aims to teach a method of reading the built landscape through the knowledge of the forming processes common to urban fabrics and buildings. The basic notions of organism and process will be used to read the built landscape.

The main purpose of the typological study proposed by the course is the identification of the characters of the built environment and the recognition of the  formation and transformation processes , having as ultimate goal the architectural design.

COURSE STRUCTURE

The course will consist of:

  1. a series of lectures (see schedule)aiming to provide the student, through the morphological / processual method, with the tools to read the built environment, historical and contemporary, having the architectural design as its goal.
  2. a series of independent lectures given by external professors or experts, on complementary subjects. The purpose of these lectures is to give a general idea of the contemporary studies on urban form through the knowledge of methods different from those followed by the course. Some re-design exercises will be proposed to apply the concepts learned.
  3. “morphological walks” eventually organized in small groups to examine the fabrics and buildings under study. The participation and writing of a short report entitles the student of Ar course to 2 credits.

EXAMINATION

Students will be evaluated through an oral test.

The student will be free to choose one of the following forms of exam:

1. presentation of the work carried out during the course on one of the themes included in the program. The student’s work will be followed periodically by the teachers and may also contain a simple project proposal as an example of the theoretical study.

2. Discussion on one of the theoretical topics listed in the course program.

The students will also be free to present all the works they consider useful for evaluation.
