93646 - LABORATORIO DI RESTAURO T

Academic Year 2022/2023

  • Moduli: Nicola Santopuoli (Modulo 1) Andrea Ugolini (Modulo 2) Giulia Favaretto (Modulo 3)
  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures (Modulo 1) Traditional lectures (Modulo 2) Traditional lectures (Modulo 3)
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: First cycle degree programme (L) in Architecture-Engineering (cod. 5695)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge relating to:
- to the theories and history of restoration, with particular reference to the last two centuries of the discipline's history;
- the connections between those theories and the operational effects, both in the period of time that separates us from the origins of the discipline until today, and in some contemporary projects; specifically verifying the terminological syntax that is often used in a confused and undifferentiated way (therefore understanding the meaning of restoration in comparison to recovery or restoration; becoming familiar with the concept of integral and/or programmed conservation).
They will also be able to critically study an artefact and summarise its historical data, describe its consistency and state of preservation; they will be provided with the tools to start planning an up-to-date protection and enhancement project, through targeted interventions aimed at preserving the artefact and its context.

Course contents

The contents of the course (C.I.6 CFU,) will be developed according to cycles of lectures and meetings in which the following topics will be treated:
Theories and History of restoration from the 19th century to today;
The project of conservation and restoration: theoretical and methodical issues.
The traditional building site: materials, techniques, construction elements;
The study of the factory: survey, historical research, analysis of consistency and diagnostics;
The traditional factory as a whole;
The tools and aims of the restoration and conservation project.

Teaching methods

The course is divided into ex cathedra lessons and an exercise. The lectures support the development of the exercise, and deal with themes of theory and history of restoration, questions of method and of a general nature, technical and site-related aspects.
The exercise will be carried out, with the support of the lecturers and tutors, in buildings that will be identified on the basis of their correspondence to the course objectives.

Assessment methods

The examination of the couorse includes the verification of the learning of the contents of all the modules/teaches that make up the Integrated Course and takes place in a single examination.
In the end-of-course examination, the achievement of the didactic objectives will be verified through the examination and discussion of the works produced, related to the analysis of a building:
- to be able to set up and carry out historical research applied to the building in question;
-to be able to identify materials and note them down on surveys and on special analytical sheets;
-be able to connect forms of deterioration to their possible causes, noting them on the surveys and on special analytical sheets and defining interventions to reduce or remove them;
The exercise is aimed at describing a building according to the needs of a modern restoration project.
The stages of this process may be summarised as follows: -historical-critical investigation, survey, examination of materials and construction techniques, analysis of degradation.
The final grade will be determined by the sum of the assessments relating to the following criteria:
1 - Knowledge of theoretical contents, bibliography and acquisition of instrumental skills;
2 - Coherence of the knowledge pathway (from the historical-critical analysis of the artefact, its consistency and state of preservation);
3 - Deepening of the descriptive phase of the building (project tables)
5 - Clarity and effectiveness in the presentation: quality of the drawings and propriety of language;
Each criterion will be awarded between 0 and 6 points. In brackets the elements considered for the graduation of the score for each criterion.
The papers, duly examined by the lecturer, will be presented as a state of progress of the work, according to a calendar communicated at the start of the workshop; the assessment will take place at the time of the final examination, while failure to deliver the papers by the dates indicated will be grounds for exclusion from the final assessment; all the papers must be completed by the date of the call for papers and will form an integral part of the final examination. The papers, in a format and number to be agreed upon with the lecturer, must be numbered progressively and bear the full names of the authors, in addition to the indications of the University, degree course, laboratory, lecturers, tutors, academic year, study theme, and the subject of each paper. A hard copy of the work, together with a copy on digital support, will be kept for the course archives. The works must be developed on UNI formats, chosen according to the needs imposed by the dimensions of the object analysed and the scales of representation, and folded in A4 format.

Teaching tools

Given its operational nature, the course has been designed with on-site and classroom interaction with students; given the current conditions, it will guarantee students who opt for the remote mode the possibility of taking the final exam (subject to the conditions set out in paragraph above).
All phases are followed and supported by the presence of the lecturer and teaching assistants.
The University's library provides useful support for specific documentation and in-depth studies. The equipment provided by the Department of Architecture and all the technological support for teaching activities provided by the University (screens and overhead projectors, video projectors, technology for remote connection, computer supports, etc.) are used.
