AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course proposes a path of analysis and design, culminating in the definitive level, on the building chosen by the teaching staff as a case study from the first year of the course. The course proposes a didactic and formative path that will make use of some frontal lessons, also with the intervention of external experts but, above all, through the work in the classroom, an experience approachable to the professional practice, with all the cultural, technical, scientific and normative references to conservation and restoration, in constant comparison with the other competing disciplines of the second year of the course of studies.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching activities include, in summary:

• ex-cathedra lessons, also with the help of experts from the world of professions, businesses and institutions, aimed at recalling knowledge already acquired and providing the necessary insights and missing elements to allow students to acquire the skills and abilities highlighted in the program.
• operational laboratory activities, carried out in the classroom and/or on site, through which students will be guided in drafting the restoration project of the artifact proposed by the teaching staff from the first year of the course.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The teaching, in synergy with the other second-year courses, aims to develop in the students the skills and abilities necessary to:

• use the necessary references to the cultural and disciplinary debate on restoration, especially recent, the documents and regulatory texts, national and international, on protection, conservation and restoration, to motivate the objectives and choices of the project that will develop on the case study proposed already in the first year of the course

• select and use, in coherence with the declared objectives of the project, the most appropriate and effective intervention techniques, for the solution of the problems of conservation, degradation and hygienic, plant and technological deficits identified during the investigations conducted in the first year of the course and possibly correcting and integrating them, in charge of the artifact being tested;

• prepare, according to professional standards and in compliance with the regulations in force on the subject, the technical and administrative documents for the definitive restoration project of the artifact, including any in-depth analysis at the executive project level, in constant comparison with the other disciplines involved in the second year of the course.
