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
Students activity will be tested in the examination of the teaching which is entrusted with the management of the laboratory.
