According to the current italian legislation governing the professions system three-year graduates in architecture (art. 16, § 5, point a, of DPR -Presidential Decree - 328/01) will play "activities based on the application of science, sometimes in the competition and cooperation to design, construction management, estimation and testing of building construction, including public works; design, construction management, supervision, measurement, accounting and settlement related to civil simple construction, with the use of standardized methodologies; the direct surveys and instrumental on building and historic building".
There isn't a specific activity of spatial planning, but it is implied. This is why the course Fundamentals of Urban Planning will be addressed to reveal this "implicit reference" that you need to know and be able to use at least (in its theoretical, technical, regulatory and instrumental) for a good formation of a specific knowledge useful project intervention buildings.
The designer incorporates into their professional skills two inseparable capabilites. Renzo Piano describes the ambivalence of the architect in the course of a working day: "[...] when you work on a project [.], for example, at a quarter past ten yuo area an architect, at eleven thirty you are a planner, at three o clok can go back to being an architect and a planner at six again" (Plan, 2010: 174).No less Bernardo Secchi, when he says that "architecture and urban planning are the same thing, although in Universities obviously can not teach you everything at once and then are different disciplines. But this is simply a logical teaching. The planner prepares a project usually looking at the whole city, the architect often looking a single building or a single set of buildings, but they make sense only if they are placed in the background, in the context of the city" (Secchi 2001). To quote the words of Jonathan Barnett, everything revolves around the building: the role of the planner is to "designing cities without designing building" (1974: 29); the architect simply is a "building designer" respecting the public rules.
The public rules and their local "lie down" on the ground define the texture of the public space around which arise structures. This will cover the course. The organization is made up of lectures and classroom discussions on exercises in progress that all students must prepare on a real case.
