Università Roma Tre

The course proposes the study of archaeological restoration culture, particularly focused on Rome (Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Imperial Fora).
The lectures are dedicated to the history of change and re-use that have led to the loss of the original architectural identity until its intentional “re-creation” after the second half of the eighteenth century. This new tradition and its different manifestations during the last two centuries will be analyzed: excavations, restorations, reconstructions, anastylosis and programs of enhancement.
Group exercises, papers (critical analysis of architectonic projects on cultural heritage) and lectures with the course of " Design and Architectural Restoration B" are planned.
