The design of open space is of crucial importance in the construction of the contemporary city and the definition of urban and territorial relations.
The training activity focuses on the understanding of the multiple declinations of the open space project: urban parks, public gardens, urban gardens, squares, streets through the analysis and critical description of some significant examples investigated in their historical, cultural, geographical and social context.
The course also includes the elaboration of the open spaces project sharing the theme and the project area of the Architectural Design Laboratory. The design activity, conducted in close synergy with the lecturers of the other modules, will start from the reading of the stratification and archaeology of places, the practices of inhabiting open space, the environmental dynamics and will bring into play the knowledge of urban, architectural and landscape architecture design.

The Laboratory will transmit knowledge about elements, devices and methods to read and design the architecture of urban space. Mostly, teaching will focus on relationships between building and open space architecture and among the different urban open spaces systems and the cultural, historical, environmental and economic processes connected with city shape.
Teaching provides theoretical communications and design seminars to work out the final project, in close collaboration with the other modules of the Laboratory.
The topic of the studio design is the topographical riconnection within the archaeological central area of Rome.

The teaching material and the lessons of the course will be made available on the course reference website:

The Laboratory intends to insert itself with its teaching program within the urban regeneration program of Rome Tuscolana, recently launched by Roma Capitale and FS Sistemi Urbani. The redevelopment is linked from an infrastructural point of view to the development of the exchange node between rail and underground. The main objective is to transform the area by aiming at: -improving the use of places by reducing vehicular traffic, promoting a sustainable mobility network, in line with city mobility policies, -inserting new functions and citizenship services. - create new special residences - create public spaces and equipped green areas. The site covered by the program is located in the Appio – Tuscolano district, characterized by a high population density, with residential buildings from the 70s of around 7-8 floors, tertiary activities ampersands. The area develops along the railway, from via Adria, continuing on the Station square, up to via della Stazione Tuscolana and is crossed by important urban routes: to the south via Appia Nuova and via Tuscolana and to the north via Casilina vecchia with the aqueduct del Mandrione.

To deal with a complex and delicate subject, such as the Central Archaeological Area (CAA) in Rome, needs to come to grips with the antinomy permanence-change: Antiquity is challenged by itself and by the projections of Modernity.
The course will go through the debate on the destiny of the area, from the Napoleonic era onwards.
From the previous treatment as a monumental area, accessible to the public as proposed by Berthault, current idea of everyday landscape seems to weaken the reasons for the protection in favor of a conscious use: the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum (2017) goes in this direction. This issue, subject of hot debates, is still open, calling into question sustainability and compatibility matters and ultimately also the need for a buffer zone designed to accommodate services and facilities for tourists and citizens.
However, the sense of place and its material experience should keep intact its aura, giving the community a lively awareness of the current time and welcoming the sense of memories in a problematic, allusive and enigmatic way.

The Planning module aims to provide students with the basic knowledge of urban planning in general, with particular reference to urban scale analysis. The reading of the context assumes a central role in the Course, cause it allows students to face the use of different techniques and tools (cartographic analysis, photographic campaigns, statistical surveys, listening to citizens, questionnaires, etc. ) aimed to highlight criticalities and potentiaities of a given urban area. This status will then be compared, as far as possible critically, with the "rule of law", ie with the provisions of the current Municipal Plan.

Urban economy combines elements of economy and geography to study choices made in the urban space and the dynamics related to these choices.

The course is organized into two parts.

In the first part some introductory elements of microeconomics and basic models of the urban economy will be presented. Main concepts and theories underlying the topic will also be discussed together with some trends of growth and transformation of cities.

The second part will provide and put into practice the knowledge needed to evaluate policies and investments on a territorial scale and in particular on an urban scale. To this end, the cost-benefit analysis for investment projects will be presented together with some case studies to facilitate the understanding of how this can be applied to real cases. Afterwards, the students, divided into groups, will work on some projects that will be discussed and presented in class.
