The application theme will cover the design of a church building, and more precisely a parish complex in the district of Decima in Rome. This parish complex, according to the parameters regulated by the Vicariate of Rome, will belong to the type A, with functional spaces organized on limited surfaces.
A difficult subject for its strong symbolic value, in which are associated the need for a coherent spatial thinking on the sacred space of the liturgical hall (architectural scale) and a thought on the urban significance of the ecclesiastical building. A character that in a city like Rome has found over the centuries declinations of high architectural quality, which will be profitable for thought for the definition of the project.
The Parish complex, of contained dimensions, will be able to positively interact with the natural and built environment. To achieve this will require a careful reading of the neighborhood, able to single out the deep characters, physical, topographical, functional, but also metaphorical, of the existing settlement. Clearly visible characters in the INCIS Decima district, the work of a design team that includes among its members two of the most important protagonists of the Italian architectural history of the 20th century: Adalberto Libera and Luigi Moretti. A district that is one of the best examples of postwar public housing built in the capital.
To achieve this integration, it should be paid close attention to the areas of relationship between designed buildings and their surroundings, with particular regard to the definition of the attack on the ground, the open spaces, the collective use areas, the green areas close to the parish complex, and facilities dedicated to car parking. These spaces must be conceived and designed in an integrated manner, such as built portions.

The course aims to provide a framework of 'historic city' as a result of projects, linguistically defined, characteristic and distinctive of the urban dimension; starting from synthetic references to the cities of pre-Roman and Roman times, the course will explore some specific issues regarding the foundation and urban transformation during the period between the Middle Ages and the modern age. The knowledge acquired by students will find specific applications in the processing of papers relating to entire cities or parts of them (streets, squares, fortifications, etc..) that are considered particularly significant for urban history; their original features and the subsequent transformations will be highlighted, until the current phase.

Course programme
The course consists of theoretical lectures with interdisciplinary contributions, and a design exercise in groups. The lectures provide an overview of the major theories of urban space since the beginning of XX century, focusing on: new landscapes, morphological relationships between typology and space of the city, role of infrastructure in the configuration of urban systems at different scales.
Lectures will offer critical instruments for the development of a project in a selected area of the city of Rome. During the semester the students will be asked to work in groups with discussions and common critics to develop a masterplan for an paradigmatic area of Rome starting from the existing plans and real conditions of the selected area.

Didactic Methods
The exam takes place with the presentation of the elaborated analysis and the project through drawings and models, as well as a discussion on the topics of lectures.

Programme

The course deals with the analysis, structuring and design of the urban space, considering its interaction with the built surroundings and with the local environmental factors, detecting compatibilities and incompatibilities, at various scales, with the aim to define appropriate actions. A systematic approach to the investigation of the urban space liveability takes to define problems and alternative technical solutions, apt to meet users’ requirements as well as places propositions.
The course considers, methodologically and operationally, several ways of action in order to verify their congruence with both requests and then to evaluate, from the point of view of governing the process of transformation/conservation of the built environment, the appropriateness of the advanced hypothesis.
For the general aspects, the topics concern: the renewal of the built environment, consequent to uses evolution; the adaptation to performance and environment regulations; the upgrading by a bioclimatic approach. For the application aspect: the specificity of the conversion project; the feasibility study and the assessment methods; the definition of the fields of action and of the congruent technical solutions.
Such topics are tackled focusing the attention on some possible overall solutions, implemented by innovative technical measures, aimed at improving the built environment performances for all users: accessibility, safety, comfort and attractiveness, both from the physical and psychological point of view, keeping in mind sustainability and environmental impact reduction as goals.


Teaching organization
The course is structured in two parts.
- one is theoretical, organized in lectures and short thematic seminaries;
- one is devoted to applied work, carried out both at university and at home, that takes the student to face some phases of the design process, concerning various levels of compatibility check and assessment, the definition and analysis of alternative technical solutions, the selection and drawing of the most appropriate ones.
The lectures are targeted, on the one hand, to provide a design methodology based on requirement/performance approach and implementation guidelines, on the other hand, to
support students in the development of the theme of the year. The aim is to steer them towards the choice of energetically sustainable solutions, congruent with the prefixed erformance goals, and of innovative technologies apt to use at the best the environment potentialities (eco-efficiency). Such solutions are to be applied in the re-design of the town connective texture, constituted by outdoor paths and places to stay, and in the urban mobility re-organization, with the aim to improve the liveability of urban spaces.

Methods for assessing learning
The student final evaluation will be based on her/his participation to the activities of the course, on the applied work carried out during the semester and on the oral examination. Students who do not hand over their applied work during the course period, or do not make it in a satisfactory way, will have to take a written/graphic examination, propaedeutic to the oral one.

The oral examination entails:

- a discussion on the applied work carried out during the semester;
- an illustration and defence of the final applied work developed for the exam;
- questions related to the course contents.

The course “Innovations in planning” is made up of two modules: Urban Regeneration and Sustainability and climate adaptation.

The module Urban Regeneration will deal with the issues and with the most useful tools of urban and regional management, with particular reference to the integrated approaches considering jointly physical aspects (brownfields recovery, public spaces redevelopment , urban expansions), social issues and environmental aspects of urban settlements.

A particular attention will be given to cooperative tools amongst various public administrations and to collaborative tools between public and private subjects ( the so called Complex Plans and Urban Regeneration Programs) that nowadays represent the most innovative forms of city management in Italy.

The module will offer, as a practical assignment, a training detailed scale urban project on a site chosen by the student.

The Sustainability and climate adaptation module of the course will explain the various urban issues caused by climate change, exploring the experiences of climate adaptation carried out by European cities (Copenhagen, Rotterdam, London, Stockholm) and Italian cities (Bologna) to increase urban resilience, with particular reference to those seeking to reduce flood risks, to reduce heat island effects, to ensure the efficiency of public transport, to protect green areas and biodiversity.

As a practical assignment, the module will include the elaboration of a detailed adaptation project applied to an area of Rome characterized by severe climate issues.

The course “Innovations in planning” will activate forms of coordination with the Degree Laboratory “Resilient City, Resilient Society”
