Learning outcomes:

General objective: Acquiring the skill to critically evaluate the conditions imposed by a heritage context.
Specific objectives: the methodology of selecting urban, architectural and technical solutions to intervene in protected sites and on historical monument buildings; the assimilation of research methods, in the case of historical monuments, by preserving the identified cultural values ​​and highlighting their identity within the historical area of ​​which they are a part, in the context of the natural evolution of the city.

Content:

The study aims to cultivate and refine the skills acquired during the exercise in the 4th semester, in a different urban and architectural context, with a higher level of complexity. Thus, in order to capitalize on the cultural-historical potential of the area located in the vicinity of an important monument, the aim is to identify a compatible function, through which its protection and preservation over time will be ensured.
The theme ultimately aims at a proposal for the revitalization and rehabilitation of a building that holds heritage value, which would formulate, based on the study of the urban tissue in the area, a coherent response from the point of view of the contemporary exploitation of the functional and urban potential and at the same time to gives this place a new urban and architectural value. In this sense, the transformation of the built context is also studied through remodeling, sanitation and development, expansion, respectively the insertion of a new construction. The proposals will get shape following the site analysis, aiming at the creation of spaces identified by the authors of the projects as necessary for the proposed function.
The project aims at the assimilation of research, regulation and intervention methods (with the reevaluation of the existing one and the insertion of new buildings / new parts of the building) in the case of buildings with heritage value, by preserving the identified cultural values ​​and highlighting their identity within their historical surroundings in the context of the natural evolution of the city. The exercise is designed as a simulation of research and design works (conservation-restoration and insertion by expanding/replacing the existing built structures) and includes their essential phases for the intervention on a building classified as a historical monument.
Phase I. Zone study, duration 4 weeks
a) The historical evolution of the city and the protected area where the building is located, based on historical maps;
b) Identification of land plots typologies, the distribution of the built structures, the relationship with the street grid; construction/demolition stages and the urban motivations that led to these steps.
c) Presentation of some examples of integration of contemporary interventions in historical sites, with emphasis on the proposed functions and space usage;
d) Presentation of the characteristics of the studied urban fabric. The functional and cultural potential of the area in the wider context of the city.
f) Highlighting the urban and architectural values ​​of the studied area (synthesis with archival materials, photographs, graphic representations, own sketches/drawings, etc.)
h) Historical substantiation study.
