Università Roma Tre

The course is aimed at students in the first year of the master's degree in restoration. We will work on the role of the contemporary architecture in the reconstruction of identities in the earthquake zones.

The educational aim concern the design of a poli-functional building in an historical context, respecting the typological, spatial and material traits. The course proposes to investigate, through the architectural project, the settlement principles in relation to the surrounding historical urban fabric and to the landscape in which it is located.
The project area is located in Borbona, in the province of Rieti. Within the spaces of the former Convento di Sant'Anna, it is necessary to think of: a polifunctional space that can also be used as a temporary school on “natural agriculture”; a little market of typical food; a restaurant and a small guesthouse. It also requires a reflection on the public space in front of the convent.

The course includes a first part of lections, analysis and site inspections. Starting in November, students will work on project with weekly reviews
