Università Roma Tre

Reuse processes represent an opportunity to rethink the city through regeneration strategies that act as drivers for new urban visions.
The course will focus on the general issues of adaptive reuse, presenting project and best practice to outline cases and opportunities for this kind of intervention. Special consideration will be given to temporary reuse processes, seen as moments of experimentation and prologue for longer-term interventions.
The course aims to provide students with a critical approach of the issues related to adaptive reuse, stimulating the student’s capacity to envision incremental processes that consider economic and social factors in development perspectives.
Students will be required to work in different urban contexts to enhance their ability to interpret the existing heritage and to develop strategies aimed at hosting new temporary and permanent functions that can reactivate the architectural asset and its context.
