Along with the crisis in urban and natural landscape and in the founding theories of the project too, it is essential to work on the renewal of our compositional tradition. Rootedness in places requires an approach that deals with the fabrics and spaces of cities and landscapes, with their systems of relationship, with the characters and features of urban and architectural composition.
Course Content - Part D
"We really only know what we do": in the wake of Vichian thought, the course intends to organize a didactic experience whose focus is the practice of the project. In this logic also the aspects of theoretical-reflexive matrix will have to find in the development of the compositional proposal their field of elaboration, application, definitive revelation.

Learning Objectives - Part B
The teaching goals concern learning the main instruments and strategies for architectural design principles and methods. They will be tested in the design of an art or music school in a delicate natural or urban site. The design will be developed with concern for main issues, such as interaction aspects, space, materials, light and expression of common values
Learning Objectives - Part D
the workshop is based on two mutually intertwined themes: on the one hand it is a critical reflection on a typology of ancient lineage and potentially bearer of spatial complexity, and on the other it is a comparison on the values of the agricultural landscape, understood as a point of intersection between living and work, nature and built-form.
Prerequisites - Part B
The student must have passed the laboratorio di progettazione exams. He must have learnt the basic rules of architectural composition, have a good knowledge of urban and architectural typologies, of architectural history, good skills in hand drawing and computer drawing, good knowledge of ontemporary softwares for architectural design computer programs.
Prerequisites - Part D
Those included in the course of studies.
Teaching Methods - Part B
Lessons will be held on theories and design analysis of a few design experiences. From the start students will have to work on the design of a music or art school, in a delicate neighborhood, chosen between two selected by the course. Attention will be given to design principles, theoretical thought, spatial choices, languages and the ways they are represented by drawings and models or videos.
Teaching Methods - Part D
The Design Studio activities will be modelled on the example of the design seminars or workshops; the time available will be entirely devoted to the work of the students at the site - research, drawing, maquette; a modality that is a cast of what happens every day in a workshop. The frontal lesson will be interpreted as a brief communication on singular and specific aspects related to the topics dealt students. The project will be prepared by working groups of three students.

Type of Assessment - Part B
Knowledge will be tested during the course with the development of the student’s work and the final architectural design proposal.
Type of Assessment - Part D
The experiences carried out in the Design Studio will be subject to specific judgment and will contribute to the final evaluation.
List of materials required to pass the test:
three-dimensional models of the project proposal (scale 1:500/1:200 - size and morphology of the model according to lay-out - cardboard-wood construction material in suitable thicknesses).
drafting of the boards according to lay-out.
exercises: the original products of Repertorio and Red Notebook.
portfolio containing the results of the different exercises (photos/drawings of: Repertorio, 1 Maquette 10 slides), the project report, plans, sections, profiles, renderings; it is possible to insert graphic works not present on the boards for a better understanding of the project proposal (format and layout according to layout).
dvd with all the files produced during the workshop (first name, surname, e.mail address and mobile phone of each member of the group).
The oral test will consist in the discussion of the project outcomes: synthesis skills, argumentative rationality, competence in the use of a specialized vocabulary are the main indexes in the verification of learning.
Course program - Part B
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO V
PROF. ARCH. FABRIZIO ROSSI PRODI
The design activity concerns a medium size music/entertainment school or art school. The music/entertainment school includes individual study/lesson spaces (for both individuals and small groups), an auditorium with 100-150 seats for general practice, a few classrooms for theoretical communication, a library, reception, secretariat and meeting areas. The art school includes individual study/lesson spaces (for both individuals and small groups), a few ateliers, an auditorium with 100-150 seats, a library, exhibition areas, reception, secretariat and meeting areas. The student will be free to modify the functional program and adapt it to specific purposes that he/she can propose.
The student will have to analyze the themes of landscape and urban landscape, settlement principles, artistic and musical practice, places of cultural production, acting, exhibition and acoustics.
The music school will be designed on an area chosen by the student between two alternatives: 1) Piazza de’ Ciompi (art school), 2) via Fabrizio De André (music/entertainment school).
The activity will be carried out individually or in pairs at most. The project must be designed according to scale 1:200 in at least 6 70x70 cm (or similar) sheets with one or two drawings per sheet, including mass plan (1:500/1:1000), plans, at least one perspective section, two elevations, views and an A4 document (even several sheets) showing conceptual schemes to explain the founding criteria of the project, along with an illustrative report of no more than 2.500 characters on single A4 sheet.
As an alternative to rendered views, the student may present a short video of no more than two minutes.
To be eligible for reviews (until 1 November) the student must submit in paper format at least the planimetric/planivolumetric plan, conceptual schemes, first hypotheses of plan aggregation in scale 1:200, section and a 3D model; to be eligible for the following reviews the student must produce at least complete plans 1:200, 1 section, 1 elevations, 1 rendered view, in addition to the 3D model.
Course program - Part D
Topic
A winery is planned to be built for the Il Petreto winery in Rosano in the municipality of Bagno a Ripoli, Florence. In the lot under study there is a rural aggregate that will be maintained; the new building will be located in an area between the foot of the hill, the western edge of the farm, the volumes of the pre-existing. Specific attention will have to be paid to the design of the ground and the areas pertaining to the complex.
Functional program

The net areas indicated by the program must be respected with a permitted tolerance of 5% (higher and/or lower). Accessory functions and surfaces intended for circulation/distribution have not been counted to facilitate a free interpretation of interior spaces. The environments may have gardens, courtyards and open spaces of relevance.
General indications
The new building can be articulated on several levels; maximum height 12 m. Elevator and / or pedestrian ramps of adequate size, to allow the connection of the various floors of the building according to the current regulations on the removal of architectural barriers.
Minimum height of the vat: 600 cm.
minimum height of the external areas for derailing and crushing: 550 cm.
minimum height of the rooms: 300 cm.
minimum height of the multipurpose room: 500 cm.
minimum height of the service rooms: 240 cm.
Accessibility
It is necessary to ensure the autonomous operation of the restaurant as well as providing separate entrances for the different users (employees, administrative staff, technicians, public).
Lighting
When this is consistent with the intended use, natural light sources should preferably be used. A specific control of the light (natural and not) will have to be prepared for the rooms of the vathouse, the cooperage and the space for refining in the bottle. Warehouses and toilets can be served by forced ventilation and artificial lighting.
External accommodation
The proposal must provide for an overall reorganization of the site where the building stands, with respect for the existing tree-lined avenue and the possibility of a separate access for staff and agricultural vehicles. Particular attention must be paid to the design of the open space used for unloading grapes and loading goods, ensuring the accessibility of different mechanical means.
Parking facilities
The proposal must provide a parking space for visitors' cars (minimum 10 stalls) inside the farm and near the state road; from this area the public will access the complex through the existing tree-lined avenue or by means of a new path.
