Learning outcomes
The course develops a coherent set of buildings of historic and new construction, and possible different building types with the study of its relationship spaces in the broader urban context and landscape. The proposed project will have plural character of urban scale and with due study the technological aspects at different scales. In the laboratory are developed design studies in urban character; teaching activities of the laboratory is coordinated with the Area disciplines of architecture and art history, of architectural design and restoration area, urban area, area of design technology facilities

Program
The first order of reasoning that the course offers is the need for tout court Sustainability that both in urban and architectural spatial terms, means reconstruct what exists and is condition of degradation rather then simply build less. The second order of interest is relative to how to tackle today the relationship between the new and heritage. Exceeded the proper respect for history and for the role and significance of the architecture of the past, our interest is now primarily oriented towards the large amount of architecture produced in the late twentieth century, whose character, though not without issues and meaning, should stimulate new ways and approaches to architectural experimentation. More possibilities for critical thinking are traceable within the increasingly central role of technical issues, and could convey new ways of interpreting the physical relationship between new and pre-existence. The recent economic crisis, beyond the measures financed by large capital, private and public, suggests a new way of intervention; "economies of scale", which until now often suggested demolition and reconstruction compared to regeneration, are reviewed today with new parameters, stimulating recovery and expansion; all these issues, are the core on which the course will focus.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student learning consists of two parts: - The presentation of architectural projects related to the topics included in the program, with design drowings that represent a synthesis agreed with the teacher; - Complete the oral presentation of the project, its concept and its theoretical and practical implications, through power point. The project can also be done in groups, with a maximum of two students. In this case, the discussion of the project must take place with the participation of the two contextual students.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
To pass with success the assessment of learning, the student must demonstrate, through the two tests described above, his understand the criteria and design procedures, the need for theoretical implications related to the needs of the contemporary social and ability to respond in appropriate and innovative techniques. He must prove, in addition, to be able to apply, these criteria and the procedures to the project, to know how to properly use the materials and construction technologies appropriate and knowing how to prepare a presentation design and technical know how and public display.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The two tests will be evaluated in thirty and the final vote will be the result of the average of the two tests. The rating is then the sum of the marks obtained by witnessing the ability of autonomy in relation to theoretical issues articulated in the basic course with those obtained by the quality of the draft elaborated for the project.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
In order for the overall outcome of the evaluation is positive, the student must achieve at least a pass in the two trials described above. The highest rating is achieved by demonstrating a thorough understanding of the theoretical and practical content of the course in the two tests and proving to be able to project management that is consistent with the content itself and credible technical level. Praise is given to students who, having performed the tests correctly and completely, have demonstrated a particular brilliance in the oral and in the preparation of project works.
