Università Roma Tre

The course proposes to “understand” historical buildings analytically examining architectural features, interpreting historical causes, and evaluating their quality. Students will have to question why buildings have been commissioned and built; what were the aims of architects and builders; which materials and techniques were adopted; which relationship was set with previous or contemporary buildings. Students reconstruct the design process, when documentation is available, investigating links among all these aspects– first part second part (see History 1).
