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 asked to explore the tangible and intangible aspects of a given urban context, with the aim of increasing their ability to interpret the existing heritage and develop strategies aimed at accommodating new temporary and permanent functions that can reactivate the architectural asset and its context.

The texts are those that will be the subject of the lectures conducted in the classroom, and will be indicated from time to time. The reference bibliography is given as an example.
