Università Roma Tre

The course considers, methodologically and operationally, several ways of action in order to verify their congruence with both requests and then to evaluate, from the point of view of governing the process of transformation/conservation of the built environment, the appropriateness of the advanced hypothesis.
For the general aspects, the topics concern: the renewal of the built environment, consequent to uses’ evolution; the adaptation to performance and environment regulations; the urban and building upgrading by a bioclimatic approach. For the application aspect: the specificity of the conversion project; the feasibility study and the assessment methods; the definition of the fields of action and of the congruent technical solutions.
These topics are tackled focusing the attention on some possible overall solutions, implemented by innovative technical measures, aimed at improving the built environment performances for all users: accessibility, safety, comfort and attractiveness, both from the physical and psychological point of view, keeping in mind sustainability and environmental impact reduction as goals.

The Master of Science in Architecture ‐ Urban Planning aims to give students the tools to acquire the methodology of an integrated sustainable urban planning.
The Urbe is a complex system, product of dynamic actions, result of the continuous transformation of the two fundamental systems, natural and anthropic, and of multiple subsystems that characterize in detail the single but interconnected complexity (resources, neighborhoods, services, infrastructures) . The territory to which it belongs is never corresponding to mere urban administrative boundaries, but to the sphere of influence of intersectoral dynamism.
The improvement of the living conditions of a place, an absolute goal, derives from the need to preserve the habitat where human activities take place, respecting the substantial right of the individual subject to freely enjoy the natural resources necessary for its survival, and the the interest of the established community to actively safeguard the environment in which life is expressed through a balanced activity, in a productive sense (a person capable of producing income), of social solidarity: the individual natural functions affecting the subject in the whose life is expressed with economic, biological, social, cultural and aesthetic value, adequately planning the environment of life itself in order to enhance the individual's subjective right to health and life and therefore the interest of the community to which it belongs .
In order to reach the absolute objective it is necessary to understand with extreme competence and applicative capacity, the state and the tendency of the urban and territorial transformations underway, in order to understand the indications and the directives to be given to these dynamics, ie the tools to be used to intervene economically, environmentally and socially with targeted actions and managed by a crosssectoral and interdisciplinary action, really competent and adequate. The interventions are therefore not solitary and isolated actions in the various sectors, but belonging to a broad planning, also aware of the actual and / or potential consequences.
A first session of lectures will provide the appropriate theoretical bases addressed in the various confluent interdisciplinary (legal, technical, political, ...) that will be applied in case studies

La bibliografia di riferimento e le principali indicazioni bibliografiche di approfondimento saranno fornite nel corso delle lezioni.
Il supporto necessario è reperibile nelle slide delle lezioni messe a disposizione dal docente.
Le dispense fornite sono messe a disposizione degli studenti del laboratorio fornendo un link all'archivio remoto.
