B9700 - IL CANTIERE DEL RESTAURO

Learning outcomes

The module aims to provide the foundations for a critical approach to the restoration site, understood as a place where design actions are implemented in constant dialogue with the material and the meanings it conveys. Through lectures, case study presentations, and visits to active construction sites, the course fosters awareness of key topics, encouraging in-depth knowledge and the translation of design thinking into the built form of existing heritage. By the end of the module, students will be familiar with the roles and professionals involved in restoration work, technical aspects, regulations governing public and private construction sites, requirements, as well as investigative and design processes.

Course contents

• Current norms and regulations governing restoration works
• Roles and responsibilities of the parties involved
• Required documentation
• Authorization procedure for a restoration project involving a property subject to preservation restrictions under Legislative Decree 42/2004
• Site visits with experts

Assessment methods

The course forms an integrated module of the Laboratorio di Laurea ‘Design, History, Restoration’ .

For this reason, students’ knowledge will be assessed during the workshop’s final assessment, through the oral presentation of design projects, the content of which will be agreed with the teaching team during the review sessions.

Students will be deemed to have passed if they demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the topics covered in class and critical maturity.

With regard to the assessment of learning, limited, declared and non-substantial use of AI is permitted for support activities (summarising, rephrasing). Substantial use of AI to complete parts of the assessment is not permitted.

Students with specific learning difficulties or temporary or permanent disabilities: please contact the relevant University office in good time (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/it); the Office will be responsible for proposing any necessary adjustments to the students concerned; these must, however, be submitted for approval by the lecturer at least 15 days in advance, who will assess their suitability, taking into account the course’s learning objectives.
