Course content During the course students are introduced to the practice of design in degraded urban structures, with particular emphasis on the principles of revitalization activities in historical areas. The course is composed of two Modules: 1. Module 1 (Tutorials) a. Presentation of the input materials and context of the selected degradated historical areas; b. Multi-faceted analysis of the real-life case; c. Summary, conclusions and problem definition. 2. Module 2 (Project) a. Formulation of the project guidelines with reference to the principles of the renovation wave; b. Iterations of the design solutions with special emphasis on sustainable and bio-based solutions and decarbonization of the built environment; c. Presentation of final projects on adaptive reuse of degraded urban structures.
