2020/21
The Restoration course intend to deepen, on the basis of disciplinary knowledge acquired in the three-year course, some themes of the contemporary debate in constant relationship between theories and practice, so as to allow students to get critical competence in the field of protection and conservation of architectural heritage.
The Restoration course aims to deepen, starting from the knowledge already acquired in the three-year course, some issues related to the Restoration discipline. It will concern: 1. themes and methodology of the conservation project; 2. restoration laws and charters; 3. materials and their deterioration; 4. diagnostics; 5. intervention techniques for the restoration of artefacts; 6. relation between old/new architecture in reuse interventions; 7. problem of preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage, with particular reference to architectural and urban heritage and to landscape. Students attending the course will acquire the ability to examine and critically evaluate restoration interventions taking into account issues such as compatibility, minimal intervention, reversibility, distinctness, sustainability, that they will constantly have to face in the development of interventions on the existing heritage.
The student must have historical knowledge in order to be able to critically read both material and immaterial signs of the buildings. They should also have already acquired, during previous courses, knowledge about the fundamentals of restoration theories and history, design and representation, technology and history of architecture.
The Restoration course intends to examine thoroughly some topics concerning the Restoration discipline, starting from the knowledge acquired in the first three years courses onwards. The course will focus on the examination of aspects of both theoretical, and practical/application: restoration project methodology, materials and their degradation, diagnostic, restoration intervention techniques, relation between old and new in reuse interventions. In particular, the course aims to make students aware about problems concerning safeguard and enhancement of architectural heritage: from industrial heritage to "author’s architecture". During the course some visits (virtual or on-site) will be conducted in architectural sites, having recently undergone restoration and/or adaptive reuse interventions, in order to let the students directly examine the interventions and critically evaluate them (4 visitsx3hrs/visit=12 hrs). The students will also be asked: - to choose and to deeply analyse an adaptive reuse intervention; - to select a case study, to focus on its conservation issues and to design a project aimed at its preservation and enhancement.
The course organisation includes: 1. ex-cathedra/remote lessons focusing on the examination of aspects of both theoretical, and practical/application (40%); 2. some visits (virtual or on site) in order to let the students examine directly some examples of restoration and/or adaptive reuse interventions and critically evaluate them (20%); 3. practical assignments (40%). During the course it is required an active participation both in lessons, during which a debate in relation to the issues addressed will be set up, and in the organised visits. The students will also have to do a practical exercise, assigned by the teacher, aimed both at the analysis of the state of conservation and at the development of an adaptive reuse proposal of an existing building.
Bibliography and thematic teaching material in digital form and relevant documents to the organization of group activities will be made available to students on the portal of teaching. Specific bibliographic references will be provided from time to time, after lessons and during the practical activity, in relation to the specific needs of the topics dealt with. Bibliography J.

Exam: Individual graphic design project; Group graphic design project; Computer-based written test using the PoliTo platform; Individual project;
The exam aims at verifying the acquisition of knowledge and of the teaching objective skills, described in the field "expected learning outcomes". The exam will consist of: - written exam Students will be asked to answer to three open questions concerning the topics explained during the lessons. The exam will last 1-hour time with individual assessment and without the possibility of using the teaching material. Each answer will be no longer than 25 lines and will be evaluated max 5 points (total 15 points max). - evaluation of the practical assignments During the course students will be asked to do two practical assignement individually or in group (see course topics). Reviews of each exercise will be carried out during the course. Each assignment will have to be handed in according to the schedule provided at the beginning of the course. Each assignment will be evaluated considering the quality of the work, the compliance with the deadline, the interaction during revisions. The first assignment will be evaluated max 5 points. The second assignment will be evaluated max 10 points. The final mark will be the results of the addition of the total amount of scores obtained for each work (max 15+5+10=30).
