Prerequisites
Knowledge of different buildings technologies and constructive elements, history of architecture.

Learning outcomes
The course addresses the issue of masonry construction with a focus on intervention on the existing buildings, relating the formal and functional design with the study of existing building elements. The design exercises addressing the issue of the recovery of an existing masonry building. The workshop developes design studies on final drawings and functional design of new masonry building, and the project on an existing masonry building.

Program
The course aims to provide the theoretical and practical tools necessary for the functional and architectural maintenance, rehabilitation and requalification of the existing and historical buildings. The lectures will be aimed in particular to deepen the following topics. - Analysis of the building: survey of damage and decay; - Masonry buildings: constituent materials, static behavior, consolidation techniques; - Concrete buildings: degradation of materials, survey of damage and decay, materials and techniques for consolidation, improvement and seismic retrofit; - Wooden structures: analysis of the state of degradation and consolidation of structural elements; - The energy retrofit: diagnosis of the energetic quality of the housing and methods of intervention. The design phase allows to apply what learned during the course on a real case study.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student learning consists of two levels: - an oral test with the aim of estimating the knowledge of the topics discussed during the course; - a series of short tutorials themes, in the form of drawings and/or technical reports, to be carried out in parallel with the lessons.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
To successfully pass the learning evaluation, the student must demonstrate, through a discussion on the topics of the course and the exercises carried out, to have understood the contents covered, and be able to apply them independently in the process of renovation of a building.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
At each level before indicated, a score between zero and thirty is assigned. The overall mark is the average of the marks obtained at the two levels.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
So that the overall result of the evaluation is positive, the student must achieve at least the sufficiency, equal to eighteen points in each of the levels described above. The maximum score is reached when the student demonstrates a thorough understanding of all the course content. Praise is given to students who demonstrate particular skills during the oral presentation and in the exercises.
