The aim of this course “History of the city and its territory” is to provide students with carefully selected intellectual tools designed to enhance their ability to analyze and be aware of the complex History of the city.
This course, by initially taking into account the lexical peculiarities of the terms “city” and “territory”, will illustrate the urban and architectonic dynamics which have contributed to enrich these specific definitions with meaning.

To this purpose some important examples will be selected, examples chosen within the Classical and the Contemporary period, and that have determined various urban and architectonic configurations. Particular attention will be devoted to the Italian city and especially to the city of Rome.

Through the cyclical and constant dialectics between the figurative and the urban arts what will be emphasized is the nature and the effects of that inevitable interweaving upon the birth, the evolution and all the ‘tiles’ that have contributed to the creation of the varied ‘mosaic’ which is typical of the city and its territory.

The course aims to introduce the knowledge of restoration techniques through analysis of operating methods and direct knowledge of sites. Lectures consist mainly in analyzing interventions with particular regard to technical decisions, to implications they pose on site and on success of the work. Compatibly with the availability of opportunities, it is expected to make visits to restoration sites and to realize practical experiences.

Punctual bibliography and reference material in support of students’ work will be indicated during the lectures.

The course deals with issues and exemplary and/or controversial cases of the international debate on the restoration of monuments and on the conservation of cultural heritage.
Criteria, traditions, methods and techniques, related to specific geographical areas, orient and consolidate different ways of operating in other latitudes, sometimes in analogy, sometimes in open contrast with the principles of the Italian restoration discipline.
The monographic lectures, alongside the reading of the case studies, are accompanied by a continuous comparison with the documents and the international restoration charters, which evolve in parallel with the widening and progress of the conceptions on the nature and the specificity of the "cultural heritages", differentiated both for the contexts and geographical areas in which they arise, both for the history, traditions and cultures that have accompanied them over the centuries.
The study of diversity, as well as cultural singularities - in the field of restoration - in other nations contributes to enrich the knowledge of the theme and broadens the reference horizons of those who will be called to intervene, overcoming ideological barriers and prejudices, with greater awareness and responsibility on the existing built.

Talking about urban renewal is an opportunity to learn and enhance the wealth of households, quarters and cities that form the majority of urban contexts in which we live.
An historical centre, in particular, is a territorial context extremely delicate, with a distinct urban identity and a high historical value referable both to the urban structure and to the individual buildings, including those of significant value. Any planning action concerning an historical centre is therefore complex because "it is about, in the first place, to know it and recognize it, so as to understand its characteristics - spatial, documentary, functional - that identify it" (G.Piccinato, 2008).
Understand, in essence, the territorial role.
But also, and above all, it is important to understand the vision that the inhabitants and users have of the historical centre ("who owns the centre?").
The course aims at providing the elements of the discipline, methodology and technique to intervene in those urban areas, historical and not, identified since 1978 by the law 457, which introduced the instrument of the recovery plan. This also and especially in the light of the evolution that the instrument had over the years and the current urban dynamics, ever more interested in the recovery of the existing urban areas.
The course will be divided in the following four parts, strictly related:
1. recovery planning: the scientific background and evolution of the disciplinary debate
In this part the scientific context of urban renewal ("what we talk about?") in the field of the urban planning regulations will be defined and will run the history of the disciplinary debate that, since the Fifties, addressed urban contexts, and later even those degraded both in terms physical and social, will be studied.
2. legislation and planning instruments
This part will analyze the texts of laws affecting the intervention on historical contexts, and in general on the existing building and urban structures, and related planning instruments, from the Recovery Plan (Art. 27 of Law 457 of 1978), up to the integrated programs of the nineties.
3. techniques
The study of the techniques of interventions in historical contexts will make use of the analyses of recovery plans and detailed plans of town centres, checking out the objectives, contents, technical procedures, the procedural issues and, finally, the story of implementation.
4. a practical exercise
Simultaneously with the theoretical disciplinary component, the study of a portion of a historical urban context will be addressed to set up an integrated strategy of recovery and valorization, which will include the Recovery Plan, the Mobility Plan, the Public Works Program, the socio-economic feasibility study, and identify related urban policies and participatory planning mechanisms.

The course will deal with the use of "complex urban planning" in the context of sustainable urban regeneration in the national and European scenario.
The course objective is the study of complex urban programs, their planning procedures, approval and implementation on the territory, their implications and contingent complexities in technical, administrative and social terms, highlighting the interrelation with other sectors of territorial government and with the elements of innovation useful for the management of urban phenomena and development strategies.

The course of "Procedures for the implementation of Complex Programs" will be divided into lectures, seminars and an individual exercise.
The lessons will essentially focus on the new ways of designing urban transformation and regeneration, resulting in the emergence of new problems, or in any case the revival of the old ones in new and the changes that have taken place as a result of national and regional reforms in the field of " Government of the Territory ", of the roles and organization of the competent bodies and, more generally, of the evolution of economic conditions and social sensitivities.

The aims of Urban Studies course are to provide students with the essential theoretical framework for a critical understanding of urban issues and to be able to compare these with the more large vision of the urban project. The structure of the course and the issues proposed will allow the student to put his university training experience in dialogue with the themes of architecture and those of urban studies by establishing interconnections to build a more global picture of urban skills.

REFERENCES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY ARE GIVEN DURING THE COURSE

The prevailing culture in urban planning relegates the operational and managerial components to a second level, in favor of an ideal approach that is not conditioned by external factors of an economic, institutional or social nature.
At the basis of any transformation of the territorial structures there is a creative process, there is no doubt. But it is also demonstrated that creativity must be integrated into every component of the supply chain that leads from the idea to the realization of a project
The dramatic events that ravage our territory (collapses, floods, degradation ...) and stasis in the urban regeneration of all the great Italian cities (with the exception of Milan) highlight the need to increase the skills of architects also in urban management
The Course aims to achieve an integration between design knowledge and implementation skills, related to economic mechanisms, management systems, social impacts and public opinion.

The structure of the Course
The course will deal with five thematic areas of a general nature:
- the evolution of Italian and European urban and territorial systems in the era of global economy and digital technologies;
- economic and productive mechanisms in urban transformations and the real estate market;
- the management of urban functions and the sustainable use of resources (from mobility management, to energy, to territorial welfare)
- Strategic plans and models of urban regeneration, maintenance of networks and infrastructures, with reference to the metropolitan suburbs
- The enhancement of the territory reputation, attractiveness and sustainable tourism.

From a point of view of the teaching organization, the course is divided into:
- a first part aimed at providing knowledge on the mechanisms of formation of the urban structure and the tools for their management (feasibility, finance, marketing and communication) systems for dimensioning and measuring the demand for architectural complexes and new urban functions;
- a second one for the direct involvement of the students in the simulation of a concrete feasibility study for an already realized urban project

contents
in the last seventy years, the evolution of computing power led to the
development of modeling techniques and numerical strategies, first
addressed only to analytic and often complicated procedures, aimed at
structural analysis. the finite element method (fem) plays nowadays a
naturally multidisciplinary role, where physical models can be implemented
by simple modular schemes and iterative algorithms.

the course focuses on this methodology, aiming to complement the skills of
a masters degree curriculum. it will provide the basic notions to study
structural performances via computational frameworks, employed as tools to
formulate and design structures, a common educational path of engineering
and architectural courses.
teaching methods
the collapse analysis will be regarded in fems as a natural extension of the linear elastic analysis. this will be framed within push-over analyses, which are today prescribed in the technical codes, in order to better evaluate structural capability and ductility under seismic loading conditions.

moreover, the equilibrium field equations will be formulated in a general mathematical format, thus being apt to their use in general-purpose softwares, such as comsol multiphysics, a program able to simulate generic physical problems.
verification of learning
the final assessment will be a presentation and discussion of an in-depth investigation on one specific topic, chosen among those presented during the course. both self and group works are admitted.

The course is geared towards the role of Security Coordinator during the design and execution phase.
To this end the course addresses the themes, developed with a theoretical and applicative character, relating to the figures and procedures of the building process. It is then possible to find a complete representation of the building process describing the various figures involved (client, designer, builder, etc.) and their nature, the competences each of them must have, the relationships and procedures identified at the regulatory level regulatory and technical standards that are customary. Finally, the various phases that characterize the realization of a public work are presented.
The course is divided into two modules: the first one dedicated to organization and security at construction sites and a second dedicated to safety management during design and construction.
Both modules will focus on the concept of risk analysis and assessment, thus enabling a virtuous path in the acquisition by students of the ability to plan the security project at all stages.
Module A. Construction, organization and security process at site
The module is divided into two parts:
A1. Site construction, use of machinery and safety devices.
With particular reference to the issue of occupational safety, they are studied and exemplified with respect to the construction site concerned, the problems associated with the layout and logistics of the yard, the operation of machinery and production equipment, scaffolding and provisional works, construction sites, toilets, safety signs, personal and collective protection devices. Exercise activities are related to the design of the yard in its evolutionary phases;
A2. Analytical techniques for managing the production process.
The decision-making situations typical of the management of building production are studied, largely referring to the formalization of Operational Research and ISO 9000 standards. In particular work scheduling techniques and optimization techniques for the use of resources.
Module B. Security management during design and construction
The teaching is integrated with that of the previous module and aims to provide knowledge and techniques for designing and managing safety on site. The subjects covered and the strong application connotation make it functional to enable students to achieve one of the requirements required to play the role of security coordinator both in the design phase and in the execution phase of the works.

The class is structured on the combination of pratical experimentation of parametric design software procedure, with a constant theoretical understanding of the relationship and consequences of this approach in the contemporary context where architects operate, made of constant need of interaction, exchange and mutual interference with specialists, consultants, contractors. Students have to pass a series of design exercises based on the generation of variable components and of their assembly. Design assigments acquire increasing complexity and end up in a final project for a fully simulated small architectural component, whose components are directly prepared for File to Factory fabrication, using 2D milling technology. Projects are often prototyped in scale models using laser cut technology.

The aim of the course is the exploration and re-appropriation of the city through the arts. It will take place entirely in the urban space using walks, performative actions, installations. The Course teaches us to get lost, to recognize the arts of discovery, of the encounter with the Other. It proposes walking as a research method, with the intent to reactivate in the students and in the inhabitants their innate capacity for creative transformation of the space in which they live, to remind them that they have a body and the desires with which they can modify it.
In the first days of the course there will be an introductory phase on the relationship between arts and cities, between arts and nomadism, on the practices conducted by Francesco Careri together with Stalker in Rome in the last twenty years. Then the peripatetic phase will begin, through long, aimless walks, with the intention of consciously get lost in the city. At this stage there will be some rules to follow: we don’t walk on sidewalks or asphalt; we can never go back; we don’t believes in private property; but above all: who waste time gain space. We will try to stay behind the built city, along the margins and borders, to reconstruct a unitary thread to the fragments of separate cities in which we live. But we will proceed in a cross-eyed way, towards a goal and towards what diverts it from the goal, disposing itself to road accidents, to the possibility of stumbling and of making a mistake. We will try to take the city by surprise, indirectly, sideways, playful, non-functional, to stumble into unexplored territories where new questions arise. Students will be asked to try to look at reality "with their heads under their legs", to overturn their points of view, to produce places through their actions, to transform their own living spaces with material and immaterial interventions, to find new ways to tell them.

The Villard Seminary is in charge of Ischia for its 20th edition. The earthquake of summer 2017 put the Flegrea island and its active volcano in the spotlight, highlighting its high degree of risk; because of the high density of the inhabitants, especially in the summer season, and for the quality of the materials and construction techniques adopted, not always adequate. The Villard seminar, in continuity with experiences from previous years, returns to address the theme of "fragile territories", through the tools of protection, enhancement and project. In this particular case Villard assumes the waters of Ischia (the thermal waters, in the first place) as the main resource for the "reconstruction" of the island and as an inspirational material of the design action. In particular, a number of areas of intervention have been identified, from the coast to the hinterland, each of which are characterized by general background issues and specific design themes. The students' experiments will investigate the theme of "Architectures for Water", with a focus on defining public space, identifying the route system, works for securing soils from risk with the aim of having sustainable and responsible tourism on the island.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO KNOW AND USE LIGHT IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, CAPTURING THEIR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP.

Contents
The class introduces lighting design fundamentals, concerning physics, visual perception, color theory. Daylighting and electrical lighting will be studied in indoor and outdoor applications, considering buildings geometries, materials reflecting proprieties, light sources proprieties.
Lighting fundamentals will be applied on design, passing through the study of light sources, fixtures, components, available on the market in order to control light diffusion and consumption parameters, with a focus on new technologies and technical recommendations.
Lighting system will be studied along the whole life, project, installation, management, maintenance, removal, disposal. A focus is dedicated on financial methods that let big installations to be sustainable.
A critical analysis of lighting projects, significant in different indoor and outdoor application fields will drive students toward a workshop, in which a project will be developed inside group of 2 components.
Verification of learning
Final test concerns presentation of workshop materials, together with an interview finalized to verify learning level of classes contents.

Training objectives
The central concern of the course is to identify ideas and methods of enhancing urban productivity while promoting sustainability and equity through public intervention at the city level. Bringing economic analysis to city planning and management, the course will focus on urban public policy & private economic development, mainly in the real estate sector. The course emphasizes the importance of the economic context, the understanding of the underlying rationale for policies, and the response private agents give to public action and incentive.

Programme
Focusing on case studies will be the teaching core of the course and a rich basis for developing students’ problem solving and decision making skills will be provided.
In order to strengthen participants' analytical skills, the course also provides: a) training in the critical assessment and use of micro- and macro-economic data, b) the analysis of urban economic activity and the application of economic criteria to urban projects. The main learning goals are the following: a) to use simple empirical tools of economic analysis and evaluation, b) to articulate a critical analysis of competing viewpoints and cooperative assessments, and c) to integrate various analytic steps into some simple overall assessments of the relationship between markets and policy that relies on sound principles and is well argued. Mostly regarding the goal sub letter c), students will be expected to actively participate and make presentations.

The Course deals with the study of architectonic barriers and design and technological solutions able to overcome them, in order to guarantee for all the people the accessibility to settings, facilities and furniture.
The town and transport system’s planning, the new and existing building’s design must provide for all that solutions able to allow a free berries spaces, promoting orientation and both settings and hazardous situations recognition, at the same time.
Therefore, confirming the idea that man, in his broadest sense, must be placed at the centre of the project, the concepts of accessibility and availability will be integrated into those ones concerning comfort, safety and multisensory.

The aim of this course is to provide students, in a synthetic manner and basic, a good knowledge of all aspects of the application of the Naval Architecture in the context of the design and to introduce students to the concept of environmental compatibility of product boat.
The complexity of'naval architecture and the interdependence with numerous other disciplines makes this matter one of the sectors most fruitful of design research under a variety of aspects: one relating to the shape and the performance than those relating to technology and construction.
Moreover the interdisciplinary nature of the matter, will allow students to acquire the capacity for processing and control of the project in multidisciplinary areas and innovative research developing, in class during a workshop of design, a nautical project to present to the final examination.

The Course of History and Methods of Analysis of Architecture aims at critically retracing the composition process - ideological, methodical or procedural - at the basis of every architecture; it is directed mainly towards the students of the fourth year of course, that are already aware of the role that history of architecture plays in the architectural process. In particular, the very role of history in relation to architectural design during centuries is at the basis of the disciplinary orientation meant for the topics at hand, avoiding to take into account the use of simple stylistic issues as repertoire-catalogue and preferring the methodological lesson from the past.
Above all, the historical evolution of the design method will be taken into account. To this aim classes will deal with language, programmatic criteria and motivations, even ideological ones, traced back in the period of time between the fifteenth century and nowadays.
The aim is to underline the main characters of the architectural poetics of each of the studied architects by comparing their works with the context of their cultural origin.

References and bibliography will be given during the lessons and are linked to the topics of critical works that has to be presented at the exam.

The course aims to introduce the knowledge of restoration techniques through analysis of operating methods and direct knowledge of sites. Lectures consist mainly in analyzing interventions with particular regard to technical decisions, to implications they pose on site and on success of the work. Compatibly with the availability of opportunities, it is expected to make visits to restoration sites and to realize practical experiences.

Punctual bibliography and reference material in support of students’ work will be indicated during the lectures.

The course deals with issues and exemplary and/or controversial cases of the international debate on the restoration of monuments and on the conservation of cultural heritage.
Criteria, traditions, methods and techniques, related to specific geographical areas, orient and consolidate different ways of operating in other latitudes, sometimes in analogy, sometimes in open contrast with the principles of the Italian restoration discipline.
The monographic lectures, alongside the reading of the case studies, are accompanied by a continuous comparison with the documents and the international restoration charters, which evolve in parallel with the widening and progress of the conceptions on the nature and the specificity of the "cultural heritages", differentiated both for the contexts and geographical areas in which they arise, both for the history, traditions and cultures that have accompanied them over the centuries.
The study of diversity, as well as cultural singularities - in the field of restoration - in other nations contributes to enrich the knowledge of the theme and broadens the reference horizons of those who will be called to intervene, overcoming ideological barriers and prejudices, with greater awareness and responsibility on the existing built.

Talking about urban renewal is an opportunity to learn and enhance the wealth of households, quarters and cities that form the majority of urban contexts in which we live.
An historical centre, in particular, is a territorial context extremely delicate, with a distinct urban identity and a high historical value referable both to the urban structure and to the individual buildings, including those of significant value. Any planning action concerning an historical centre is therefore complex because "it is about, in the first place, to know it and recognize it, so as to understand its characteristics - spatial, documentary, functional - that identify it" (G.Piccinato, 2008).
Understand, in essence, the territorial role.
But also, and above all, it is important to understand the vision that the inhabitants and users have of the historical centre ("who owns the centre?").
The course aims at providing the elements of the discipline, methodology and technique to intervene in those urban areas, historical and not, identified since 1978 by the law 457, which introduced the instrument of the recovery plan. This also and especially in the light of the evolution that the instrument had over the years and the current urban dynamics, ever more interested in the recovery of the existing urban areas.
The course will be divided in the following four parts, strictly related:
1. recovery planning: the scientific background and evolution of the disciplinary debate
In this part the scientific context of urban renewal ("what we talk about?") in the field of the urban planning regulations will be defined and will run the history of the disciplinary debate that, since the Fifties, addressed urban contexts, and later even those degraded both in terms physical and social, will be studied.
2. legislation and planning instruments
This part will analyze the texts of laws affecting the intervention on historical contexts, and in general on the existing building and urban structures, and related planning instruments, from the Recovery Plan (Art. 27 of Law 457 of 1978), up to the integrated programs of the nineties.
3. techniques
The study of the techniques of interventions in historical contexts will make use of the analyses of recovery plans and detailed plans of town centres, checking out the objectives, contents, technical procedures, the procedural issues and, finally, the story of implementation.
4. a practical exercise
Simultaneously with the theoretical disciplinary component, the study of a portion of a historical urban context will be addressed to set up an integrated strategy of recovery and valorization, which will include the Recovery Plan, the Mobility Plan, the Public Works Program, the socio-economic feasibility study, and identify related urban policies and participatory planning mechanisms.

The course will deal with the use of "complex urban planning" in the context of sustainable urban regeneration in the national and European scenario.
The course objective is the study of complex urban programs, their planning procedures, approval and implementation on the territory, their implications and contingent complexities in technical, administrative and social terms, highlighting the interrelation with other sectors of territorial government and with the elements of innovation useful for the management of urban phenomena and development strategies.

The course of "Procedures for the implementation of Complex Programs" will be divided into lectures, seminars and an individual exercise.
The lessons will essentially focus on the new ways of designing urban transformation and regeneration, resulting in the emergence of new problems, or in any case the revival of the old ones in new and the changes that have taken place as a result of national and regional reforms in the field of " Government of the Territory ", of the roles and organization of the competent bodies and, more generally, of the evolution of economic conditions and social sensitivities.

The aims of Urban Studies course are to provide students with the essential theoretical framework for a critical understanding of urban issues and to be able to compare these with the more large vision of the urban project. The structure of the course and the issues proposed will allow the student to put his university training experience in dialogue with the themes of architecture and those of urban studies by establishing interconnections to build a more global picture of urban skills.

REFERENCES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY ARE GIVEN DURING THE COURSE

The prevailing culture in urban planning relegates the operational and managerial components to a second level, in favor of an ideal approach that is not conditioned by external factors of an economic, institutional or social nature.
At the basis of any transformation of the territorial structures there is a creative process, there is no doubt. But it is also demonstrated that creativity must be integrated into every component of the supply chain that leads from the idea to the realization of a project
The dramatic events that ravage our territory (collapses, floods, degradation ...) and stasis in the urban regeneration of all the great Italian cities (with the exception of Milan) highlight the need to increase the skills of architects also in urban management
The Course aims to achieve an integration between design knowledge and implementation skills, related to economic mechanisms, management systems, social impacts and public opinion.

The structure of the Course
The course will deal with five thematic areas of a general nature:
- the evolution of Italian and European urban and territorial systems in the era of global economy and digital technologies;
- economic and productive mechanisms in urban transformations and the real estate market;
- the management of urban functions and the sustainable use of resources (from mobility management, to energy, to territorial welfare)
- Strategic plans and models of urban regeneration, maintenance of networks and infrastructures, with reference to the metropolitan suburbs
- The enhancement of the territory reputation, attractiveness and sustainable tourism.

From a point of view of the teaching organization, the course is divided into:
- a first part aimed at providing knowledge on the mechanisms of formation of the urban structure and the tools for their management (feasibility, finance, marketing and communication) systems for dimensioning and measuring the demand for architectural complexes and new urban functions;
- a second one for the direct involvement of the students in the simulation of a concrete feasibility study for an already realized urban project

contents
in the last seventy years, the evolution of computing power led to the
development of modeling techniques and numerical strategies, first
addressed only to analytic and often complicated procedures, aimed at
structural analysis. the finite element method (fem) plays nowadays a
naturally multidisciplinary role, where physical models can be implemented
by simple modular schemes and iterative algorithms.

the course focuses on this methodology, aiming to complement the skills of
a masters degree curriculum. it will provide the basic notions to study
structural performances via computational frameworks, employed as tools to
formulate and design structures, a common educational path of engineering
and architectural courses.
teaching methods
the collapse analysis will be regarded in fems as a natural extension of the linear elastic analysis. this will be framed within push-over analyses, which are today prescribed in the technical codes, in order to better evaluate structural capability and ductility under seismic loading conditions.

moreover, the equilibrium field equations will be formulated in a general mathematical format, thus being apt to their use in general-purpose softwares, such as comsol multiphysics, a program able to simulate generic physical problems.
verification of learning
the final assessment will be a presentation and discussion of an in-depth investigation on one specific topic, chosen among those presented during the course. both self and group works are admitted.

The course is geared towards the role of Security Coordinator during the design and execution phase.
To this end the course addresses the themes, developed with a theoretical and applicative character, relating to the figures and procedures of the building process. It is then possible to find a complete representation of the building process describing the various figures involved (client, designer, builder, etc.) and their nature, the competences each of them must have, the relationships and procedures identified at the regulatory level regulatory and technical standards that are customary. Finally, the various phases that characterize the realization of a public work are presented.
The course is divided into two modules: the first one dedicated to organization and security at construction sites and a second dedicated to safety management during design and construction.
Both modules will focus on the concept of risk analysis and assessment, thus enabling a virtuous path in the acquisition by students of the ability to plan the security project at all stages.
Module A. Construction, organization and security process at site
The module is divided into two parts:
A1. Site construction, use of machinery and safety devices.
With particular reference to the issue of occupational safety, they are studied and exemplified with respect to the construction site concerned, the problems associated with the layout and logistics of the yard, the operation of machinery and production equipment, scaffolding and provisional works, construction sites, toilets, safety signs, personal and collective protection devices. Exercise activities are related to the design of the yard in its evolutionary phases;
A2. Analytical techniques for managing the production process.
The decision-making situations typical of the management of building production are studied, largely referring to the formalization of Operational Research and ISO 9000 standards. In particular work scheduling techniques and optimization techniques for the use of resources.
Module B. Security management during design and construction
The teaching is integrated with that of the previous module and aims to provide knowledge and techniques for designing and managing safety on site. The subjects covered and the strong application connotation make it functional to enable students to achieve one of the requirements required to play the role of security coordinator both in the design phase and in the execution phase of the works.

The aim of the course is the exploration and re-appropriation of the city through the arts. It will take place entirely in the urban space using walks, performative actions, installations. The Course teaches us to get lost, to recognize the arts of discovery, of the encounter with the Other. It proposes walking as a research method, with the intent to reactivate in the students and in the inhabitants their innate capacity for creative transformation of the space in which they live, to remind them that they have a body and the desires with which they can modify it.
In the first days of the course there will be an introductory phase on the relationship between arts and cities, between arts and nomadism, on the practices conducted by Francesco Careri together with Stalker in Rome in the last twenty years. Then the peripatetic phase will begin, through long, aimless walks, with the intention of consciously get lost in the city. At this stage there will be some rules to follow: we don’t walk on sidewalks or asphalt; we can never go back; we don’t believes in private property; but above all: who waste time gain space. We will try to stay behind the built city, along the margins and borders, to reconstruct a unitary thread to the fragments of separate cities in which we live. But we will proceed in a cross-eyed way, towards a goal and towards what diverts it from the goal, disposing itself to road accidents, to the possibility of stumbling and of making a mistake. We will try to take the city by surprise, indirectly, sideways, playful, non-functional, to stumble into unexplored territories where new questions arise. Students will be asked to try to look at reality "with their heads under their legs", to overturn their points of view, to produce places through their actions, to transform their own living spaces with material and immaterial interventions, to find new ways to tell them.

The Villard Seminary is in charge of Ischia for its 20th edition. The earthquake of summer 2017 put the Flegrea island and its active volcano in the spotlight, highlighting its high degree of risk; because of the high density of the inhabitants, especially in the summer season, and for the quality of the materials and construction techniques adopted, not always adequate. The Villard seminar, in continuity with experiences from previous years, returns to address the theme of "fragile territories", through the tools of protection, enhancement and project. In this particular case Villard assumes the waters of Ischia (the thermal waters, in the first place) as the main resource for the "reconstruction" of the island and as an inspirational material of the design action. In particular, a number of areas of intervention have been identified, from the coast to the hinterland, each of which are characterized by general background issues and specific design themes. The students' experiments will investigate the theme of "Architectures for Water", with a focus on defining public space, identifying the route system, works for securing soils from risk with the aim of having sustainable and responsible tourism on the island.

Training objectives
The central concern of the course is to identify ideas and methods of enhancing urban productivity while promoting sustainability and equity through public intervention at the city level. Bringing economic analysis to city planning and management, the course will focus on urban public policy & private economic development, mainly in the real estate sector. The course emphasizes the importance of the economic context, the understanding of the underlying rationale for policies, and the response private agents give to public action and incentive.

Programme
Focusing on case studies will be the teaching core of the course and a rich basis for developing students’ problem solving and decision making skills will be provided.
In order to strengthen participants' analytical skills, the course also provides: a) training in the critical assessment and use of micro- and macro-economic data, b) the analysis of urban economic activity and the application of economic criteria to urban projects. The main learning goals are the following: a) to use simple empirical tools of economic analysis and evaluation, b) to articulate a critical analysis of competing viewpoints and cooperative assessments, and c) to integrate various analytic steps into some simple overall assessments of the relationship between markets and policy that relies on sound principles and is well argued. Mostly regarding the goal sub letter c), students will be expected to actively participate and make presentations.

The course is divided into three sections.
1) History of the archaeological restoration culture, particularly focused on Rome (Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Imperial Fora). The lectures are dedicated to the history of change and re-use that have led to the loss of the original architectural identity until its intentional “re-creation”, from the second half of the Eighteenth Century. This new culture and its different outcomes during the last two centuries will be analyzed: excavations, restorations, reconstructions, anastylosis and enhancement programs.
2) Lectures on the history of Garbatella neighborhood.
3) Small group exercises (main topic: Garbatella neighborhood).

The course is divided into thirteen training modules, in relation to the complexity of the topics discussed, some modules have been foreseen for a learning test, both as a didactic and non-evaluative course, the completion of which will be determined by the teacher. Additionally, at the end of modules 10, 11, 12 the learners must deal with the predisposition of a fire prevention project under the guidance of the teacher. Overall, the minimum training course is 120 hours with compulsory class attendance.
The teacher remains to be able to add further arguments or to deepen the ones foreseen in the individual modules for a greater overall duration.
Part of the course is intended for the acquisition of the most frequently used notions that characterize the fire safety of activities subject to fire prevention procedures. This is achieved with the implementation of Modules 11 and 12 in addition to deepening the knowledge of technical rules and through practical exercises, with the adaptation of buildings to the requirements required by the specific technical rules.
The thirteen modules that comprise the course cover the following topics:
1. Objectives, directives, legislation and technical rules for fire prevention
2. Physics and fire chemistry
3. Technology of Passive Protection Materials and Structures
4. Technology of active protection systems and systems - Safety of technological installations
5. Fire risk assessment and fire safety management
6. Fire prevention procedures
7. Engineering Approach and Security Management System
8. Fire safety in workplaces
9. Activities at risk of major accident
10. Design in the absence of technical rules
11. Design in the presence of technical rules - Civil activities
12. Design in the presence of technical rules - Industrial activities
13. Visit at a nearby activity.

The course will provide the bibliography and the educational material.

The objectives of the Course anticipate the details of its content. We can add that the Course is organised in such a way that the students have to discuss with the professor, in the second part of the time for his lecture, specific aspects related with the issues focused in the first part.
Such a debate gives opportunity to introduce the subjects also in a different sequence as regard to the one which should have been be proposed from the beginning, according to the way students activate their questioning.
When we consider transformation and transformability of the housing stock it's easy to introduce a typical case (Cf.,"Time Builds") such as the PREVI LIMA project in Perù (1968/73) which opens up to Elemental by Alexandro Aravena, to the design problems of the urban tissues, introduces the genealogy of the Mat buiding and reaches the Team 10 Group theoretical statements. Through Bakema and van der Broek, Giancarlo de Carlo, Ralph Erskine (+ Klas Tham for his BO 01 in Malmö) we easily arrive to Herman Hertzberger and the challenges he is actually facing to adapt some of his seminal buildings to new needs. (Cf.,"Space and the Architect", "Articulations").
We may symbolically conclude with "The City at Eye level", that helps considering the city and it's buildings from the plynths, which means how to requalify the urban space "par exellence" that is the street.
Such a way of treating some of the main issues of the Course may help students to reflect in a more dynamic way.

More detailed bibliography will be presented at the end of each lecture.

• Physical and mechanical properties of wood, defects and classification methods, anisotropy and wood-water relationships, durability, biodegradation and preservation. Inspection and diagnosis on existing buildings.
• Wood and derived products for structural use.
• Structural types. Multi-storey buildings with a wooden structure, structural behavior and design criteria. Sustainability and short supply chain. Examples of realizations.
• Sizing and verification (SLU and SLE) of structural elements and unions.

Thinking about heritage is thinking about time, identity, memory and storytelling.
Landscape coincides with these values, it can be considered as the connective tissue: a memories repository of the material and immaterial values.
In order to develop an experience of contemporary landscape and physical heritage we have to conduct a multidisciplinary analysis, both direct and indirect.
Landscape and its history can be investigated through the expressions of tangible and intangible culture, through the study of visible and invisible data.
Indirect and regressive analysis (archival studies, topography, geomorphology, historical and modern maps, iconography, etc.) will be integrated with the investigation on field, with the intention to recognize, distinguish, identify, and measure the place.
Our intention is to analyze and interpret the ancient via Latina with its surroundings.
The Course deals with different scales of landscape, from monument to territory.
The analysis will be developed following the route of the ancient street, organized in stages, from the Rome city center (Central Archaeological Area) to the outskirts, until reaching the last remains of Agro Romano.
The different layers, which have constantly interacted through the historical development, will be identified, studied and described by students in different ways such as mapping, storytelling collection, archival research etc.
Diachronic analysis of the different layers will be essential to identify and distinguish shapes and permanent values compared to the structural changes introduced in the contemporary physical environment
From this analysis we will begin the representation and interpretation of the landscape aiming at critically examining and synthesizing archaeological and urban artefacts, matching them with other memories of human experience in the urban landscape.

Teaching goals
The course aims at initiating the students to the topics related to the restauration of historical city centres and monuments damaged by the earthquakes. Meaning the restauration activity in a wider sense: from securing the damaged buildings to the philological reconstruction of the collapsed ones, up to the improvement of the habitability and safety conditions of the historical urban fabrics located in the most seismic areas of the country.
Program
The course will be organized with lessons, lectures and site visits. Starting from an historical excursus of the main seismic events that have affected the Italian peninsula in the last three centuries, the aim is to analyse
the different attitudes and approaches of the institutions and of the scientific community towards the disasters provoked by the earthquakes. Specific lectures will be given by external experts of the earthquake-proofing restauration and of the urban structure securing.
The site visits will concern the areas affected by the recent seismic events and areas where there are ongoing restauration interventions.
The students will have to draft a short report regarding a theme proposed by the teacher or chosen by the student concerning a case study to be analysed at the urban scale and at the architectural one.
The same argument could then be developed as thesis work for the master’s degree.

The bibliography and the didactic material will be indicated during the course.

The Landmark Studio has the objective to make students familiar with the multiple aspects of research and design. In our studio we will dissect existing buildings or places that can be best practise using anatomy: exposing the basic elements that define a possible landmark design or the ensemble. A landmark exists by virtue of its environment; its raison d’etre has to be comprehended before analyzing the physical building itself. Through their specific location, function and distinct architecture, landmarks have become meaningful and recognizable.
The studio promotes broad speculation, independent thinking and collective work with the aim of positioning architecture into a broader ecological, cultural and economic context. Students will perform a thorough research in order to understand the area’s climate and context, and to identify the essential parameters for designing a winery in a specific environment. The research zooms in from the large scale of the area itself, to the medium scale of the site, to the small scale of the proposed architectural solution. The resulting data has to be organized into a comprehensive conceptual genotype. This serves as basis for a design narrative that on its turn is a lead for the individual (or team) design phenotypes.

This course covers a temporal space between the last decade of XIX century and the end of XX century and gets through the complexity of historical tangles, which carried out to the birth of the modern forms and its rise. It is considered as a wide-ranging space which comprises not only the works of the innovative architects, bound up with the avant-garde or with the great ideals (like the design of machinery or the organicism), but also the works sometimes revolutionary that refers to the vernacular tradition.
This course is divided into four lines: a) the great, general themes (the historical contest,the programmes,the ideas, Modern and Tradition); b) the great figures of architects;b)the philology and constructive analysis of works (both realized and only planned) and the historiographical interpretations.

This course aims at providing a critical approach towards the “changing ideals” of contemporary architecture, starting from the opposing forces of the notions of classical and modern during the Age of Enlightenment. Through descriptions of different historical and geographical contexts, a selected series of masterworks from XIX to XIX Century will be discussed in terms of form, structure, functions, specifically considering how they have contributed to past and contemporary architectural debate.
