Università Roma Tre

The course aims to teach students the basic elements of architectural restoration of an element of the Roman historical building fabric in a context with strong historical-architectural stratification.
Students will be offered a case study suitable to represent the historical stratification of the building fabric of the center of Rome and offer the opportunity to decline the analysis from different points of view.
Based on the documentation provided by the course and bibliographic and archival research to be conducted under the guidance of the teaching staff, students, individually or in groups of up to three people, are called to conduct a cognitive/design process including different disciplinary aspects.
Critical-historical analysis - Preliminary activity indispensable to the design is the knowledge of the architectural complex, this consists of three phases: reconstruction of the historical phases of the area on the basis of comparative reading of historical cartography and archival documents; reconstruction of the most significant historical phases in plan and axonometry; "critical" relief with the mapping of materials and "signs" of historical stratifications.
Philological restoration project - The design project will have to provide typological, architectural and functional reorganization on the basis of the consolidated transformation phenomena of Roman historical urban fabric for the purpose of reuse aimed at a compatible destination.
Structural adjustment, with the use of techniques belonging to the pre-modern construction tradition detected in the case of study and compared with those documented by the Manual of Recovery of the City of Rome.

The major aim of the course is to confront the students with a critical assessment of structural systems of historical buildings, comparing design projects with historic preservation handbooks.
In order to increase the knowledge of historical heritage, the students will therefore be asked to analyse structural and morfological systems. Lectures with the course of "Design and Restoration A" are planned.
Topics of the lectures:
- The practice of architecture and the art of construction. Handbooks and technical literature between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries by way of comparing construction practices with materials. Handbooks of “Architettura Pratica” and preservation handbooks.
- Building elements: walls and vaults, roofs and floors, doors and windows, façades.

The Survey module aims to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to realize a correct survey of the built: at the scale of the artefact, architecture and the city. The different survey methods - direct, indirect and integrated - and the techniques to be adopted to ensure the correct use of measuring instruments will be exposed. It will also deal with the theory of measurement, methods of analysis of graphic sources and their integration with the information derived from historical documentation.
In order to achieve these objectives, the module provides, together with the activities of the Restoration module, the realization of exercises concerning: the visual survey and the realization of the eidotypes for the survey project, the direct survey and the indirect survey through photogrammetric techniques.

The integrated Surveying course within the Restoration Laboratory aims to provide the foundation for measuring and understanding architectural artifacts.

Surveying is an essential step in understanding and studying the architecture to be restored, allowing students to experience the masonry firsthand, and verifying their state of conservation through photographic campaigns and analysis of the surveyed elevations. Knowledge of construction techniques, as well as geometric information on the molding and ornamentation, are essential when dealing with historic buildings. Through direct surveying and trilateration imaging techniques, students will be able to visualize the work in question, paying particular attention to areas accessible for direct measurements.

The course will therefore be divided into two phases: the first focuses on understanding and using direct metric surveying tools; the second focuses on photomodeling, a direct descendant of photogrammetric surveying.

Exercises will be included, with assignments to be made during the course.

Topics covered:

Visual Surveying. Eidotypes and the Survey Project.

Direct Survey Techniques.

RDF for Photorectification.

Surveying for Restoration.

Instrumental Surveying. Techniques and Tools.

Use of Photography. Photographic Surveying.

The surveying module will be conducted through a series of lectures and direct surveys of the building selected as the case study for the current academic year.
The lectures will cover:
- the history of architectural and urban surveying;
- integrated survey methodologies for the documentation of built heritage;
- archaeological surveying, and
- architectural detail drawing, with particular reference to the survey of classical architectural orders.
-photogrammetric survey.

Specific lessons will also be dedicated to the survey activities to be carried out on the selected case study.

These lectures will be complemented by sessions presenting the results of research projects conducted in the field of heritage surveying, illustrating the procedures and methodologies applied in different operational contexts.
