Course Objectives The aim of the course is to introduce the students the intervention in buildings inserted in a complex and layered urbanized contexts: historically and/or socially. The students will learn to approach the project considering on one hand the construction problems related with the intervention on an historical interior environment and on the other hand the social aspects of a defined urban region trough the application of a public program. The students during the course will learn to operate in the historical built environments trough: 1. A comprehension of a design problem and a critical analysis of a brief/program in relation with the constraints given by the built context and the functional interior spatial planning. 2. A comprehension and analysis of built environments. 3. A careful approach and consideration on the principles of universal design, ergonomics, the state of the art of current technologies applied to historical buildings (lighting systems, temperature comfort control,etc.) 4. Awareness of the social and urban impact of the project on a larger urban scale.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to solve specific problems of interior spaces of historical buildings which are open to public use,
  • will be able to work within a team in order to respond to the design problem given,
  • will be able to design by considering the norms, standards of ergonomy and universal design principles,
  • will be able to use the materials which were proposed in a project, in a right place and design the joint details of various materials,
  • will be able to design the lighting system,
  • will be able to produce the appropriate drawing standards which make a project understandable in technical manner.
Course Description In this course, the introduction of a new function and design in an historical building will be analyzed considering a careful approach on the built environment and historical layers of valuable buildings. Along with the design problem solving all the information on standards, norms, materials and state of the art technology will be examined in detail.
