Lectures in which the syllabus will be systematically approached with the study of interventions on existing physical structures.
Classes aiming the accompanying and development of exercises of interpretative analysis of interventions in the built environment.
Learning Outcomes
Refering to the history, theories and concepts of intervention in built cultural heritage, the goal is to provide the development of a coherent understanding of the issues underlying the actions of requalification of existing physical infrastructures that consolidated over centuries or decades the identity of a place or have been integrated into the collective memory of a community.
This coherent understanding is sustained by a multidisciplinary approach to the conceptualization of interventions, the formalization and spatiality attained, the careful choice of materials and construction systems, the strategies of infrastructural networks distribution and the compulsory demands of rising standards of comfort and levels of environmental and social sustainability in construction.
