Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student has got basic knowledge about the themes that invest the contemporary town-planning, and theories, strategies and tools used by town planners in the reading of the city and in the design of its transformations.
Course contents
The Studio's title is “REMAKING CITIES. Urban regeneration strategies in Forlì”. The Studio has the aim of experimenting approaches to urban regeneration and reuse, and of getting the students close to the contemporary themes of urban planning (soil consumption, public spaces, new welfare spaces, public cities, urban ecology and green networks, …).
The proposed study areas are located in the city of Forlì, where the students in small groups will develop specific surveys. Starting from their results, the students will develop design explorations on specific sites about the themes illustrated during the lessons.
During the first semester the Studio, that will be focused on the analysis and on the development of the strategies, will involve a whole urban sector (macro-area), while during the second semester it will be centred on urban regeneration projects of one or more small areas that will be chosen by the students from the urban sector previously analysed.
The urban analysis will be presented in a portfolio by using the A3 format (number of panels to be decided with the professors). The portfolio will include:
- urban asset analysis
- in depth analysis at the local scale
- critical appraisal of strenght and weaknesses, opportunities ant threats at the local scale, step and times of the strategies
The urban analysis will include the realisation of a video (5 min.) that the group of students will use to show the site analysis according on their own perception.
Project proposal for small areas will be developed by the students at the following phase, which will end with the final examination.
Lectures.
Lectures will be held in class and will provide to the students the theoretical framework that is needed to develop the design Studio; each lecture will be followed by an assignment (Town Planning Technique module) and by a list of recommended paper on the topic discussed.
