To provide students with a knowledge of:
1) materials and construction techniques of historic buildings
2) tools (methodological, technical and critical) essential to the multidisciplinary reading and analysis of built heritage for the definition of a proper draft diagnosis, which is preliminary to the setting of the next project of conservation and reuse:
- Critical observation of the material aspects
- Diachronic reading (stratigraphic) of the buildings
- Historical research for preservation
- Procedures for the setting of technical documents

At the end of the course the student will:
achieve an adequate level of awareness on the character of the restoration action:
- Operating contents and main interdisciplinary connections
- Historical and cultural value, as a contemporary resource

be able to set a correct analysis path of an existing architectural artifact:
- A summary of its material history and its conservation problems
- Diagnosis as a prelude to the project of conservation and reuse

The basic knowledge of the following topics is strongly recommended:

- Outline of the history of architecture
- Traditional building materials
- Architectural metric survey
- Features of static and building science

The laboratory is structured as follows:

LECTURES:
Seminars and communications in-depth on specific topics and case studies.
Events, seminars and conferences on issues of conservation will be reported during the course.

ACTIVITIES:
Visits: Sites and monuments, restoration sites and workshops, aimed at encouraging discussion and the collection of useful information to the individual search path. Observation of materials, techniques, decay phenomena.

Exercises in the classroom, on the field, at home: Application and verification of the covered topics. These activities will be primarily oriented to the testing procedures for investigation of the built.

Extra activities: Optional activities, outside lesson time, in small groups (max 10 people) on specific issues. Workshops, practical exercises, etc.

PROJECT ACTIVITY:
All activities of the workshop will be aimed at developing a cognitive research and the preparation of a project on a diagnostic architectural work
The theme of the survey will:
- Be agreed in advance with the teacher
- Have limited dimensions, so that it can be done in the duration of the course
- Submit a state of conservation of appropriate complexity
- Be freely accessible
The research will be carried out individually or in small groups (max 3 people). The research topics will be subject to audits.

Reception of students will take place on a weekly basis at the “Restoration” section of DiDA (via Micheli, 8 – 50123 Firenze)

michele.coppola@unifi.it

The final evaluation will be carried out through the evaluation of the knowledge acquired, the results of the exercises, the activities and the final research project.

EVALUATION OF EXERCISES and ACTIVITIES
they will constitute intermediate tests of the educational process. Assessment methods and results will be constantly communicated and discussed during the course.

EVALUATION OF THE FINAL RESEARCH
The conclusive research will be illustrated by a set of documents essentially constituted by:
1 - an explanatory report of the research carried out and the results obtained
2 - drawings of the format most suitable to describe the essential steps of the research and the results of the inquiry on the item
Part of the documentation will be prepared in reference to the current legislative framework. Detailed information on the papers to be presented will be provided during the course.

THE FINAL EXAM
The final exam consists of an interview, individual and group, on the topics covered during the course, bibliography, methods and results of exercises and conclusive research
