Università Roma Tre

The course programme consists of the design of a residential building with housing facilities in a consolidated urban context. In detail, it is required to develop a building organism composed of 60 housing units of different sizes for a total of about 7,500 sqm and services (small conference room, library, commercial services, common rooms) for a total of about 3,000 sqm.
The project should be developed by integrating technological issues as well as a reflection on costs that keep it in the context of affordable housing.
A critical approach to the theme is required that reflects on the typological theme starting from contemporary needs.

The architectural design laboratory 3, located at the end of the three-year degree course, will focus on the design of a medium-sized building with a predominantly residential function, integrated with spaces for commerce and other services, in an empty area of the consolidated urban zone of the city of Rome. The project will be confronted with an articulated urban landscape and will have to evaluate all the aspects related to the insertion of an architectural organism within an existing context. We must consider, as main themes of reasoning: the evaluation of the settlement principle and the typological, morphological and spatial characteristics of the organism in relation to those present in the context in which it is inserted, the relationship with the public space and with the infrastructure system present in the immediate vicinity. At the same time the building will have to give answers to the theme of living, proposing housing solutions that are the result of an updated thought on new ways of life and new housing needs. The project will be developed on a scale that will allow both a definition of the technological and structural characteristics of the organism and an economic evaluation of a parametric type.

The course aims to design a building with a complex program starting from the demolition of an existing building according to the most current methods of transforming the consolidated urban fabrics of our cities.

The student is asked to develop a project strategy taking into account the innumerable restrictions and limits that come from the immediate urban context.

During the project development, the student will also have to deal with constructive technological and project evaluation issues. For this purpose, a 1:50 scale study of the building's cross section will be required, in order to deepen the design aspects related to the choices of technological detail.

During the Laboratorio students will be gives general references and case studies related to the main project features.

The contribution of the Architectural Technology module addresses the relationship between the buildingS and the environmental characteristics (geographical factors, climatic parameters, meteorological factors, topographical factors, biological factors), in order to maximize the building-environment exchanges, and minimize the use of systems.
Starting from the analysis of the geometric and localization characteristics, the module explores the elements of the building’s technological components and the relationship between typological and formal aspects and the technological and constructive choices.
By combining theoretical aspects with practical analysis, the topics will be developed through lectures, in-depth focus focused on materials and technologies, periodic reviews on the project and support for drawing the main technological details.

The aim of the course is to provide all the appropriate tools for students to manage design relations between materials, building elements, working techniques, requirements and regulations involved since the concept design.
All that fully aware of the strong link between typological-stylish features and technological-architectural ones of the building conceived as a whole of interrelated and organized parts, according to a systemic and performance design approach.

In the general framework of the evaluation topics, the module aims to provide the specific theoretical and methodological tools for the real estate appraisal and the evaluation of environmental, landscape, historical and cultural resources. The main concepts of microeconomics, the basics of estimation theory and the methodological procedures for value judgments are considered basic knowledge for the understanding of the estimating values and the economic variables generated by an architectural and urban project. Criteria, procedures and appraisal's techniques are suited to different stages of the project, solving in each scale specific problems. The module also provides methods and criteria for the appraisal of the use value and the non-use value. Basics of technique and methodology for the assessment of projects, program and plans are provided, in response to specific feasibility profiles, considering the evaluation as an active, logical and methodological tool to support planning and design.
Specifically, the module deals with:
- Basics of Microeconomic: elements of theory of value, economic goods, markets structures, market pricing, general equilibrium theory, consumer choice, production theory.
- Appraisal fundaments: appraisal theory, principles and methods, basics of statistics, basics of mathematical finance, market value, cost value, secondary values, elements of total economic value.
Basics of plans, programs and projects evaluation: financial and economic approaches.
