Educational goals and objectives

HISTORY, REPRESENTATION AND RESTORATION OF ARCHITECTURE

DRAWING_ICAR 17. The overall educational aims of the Drawing curriculum focus mainly on the education/training of researchers in the following fields: architectural drawing, survey, documentation and critical interpretation of our architectural and environmental heritage. These aims intend to form a PhD Researcher deeply involved with the contents of the scientific area, and therefore able to teach and apply innovative research methods in that field, and, following his attitudes, able to achieve high specialization and peculiar and not common results as a researcher as well as to carry on a good professional activity. To achieve this scope, the researchers are taught the scientific and methodological skills necessary to organize and develop studies on issues pertaining to Drawing. In this regard, given the inevitably diverse kind of the initial education received by post-graduate students, educational activities will initially concentrate, first and foremost, on improving their basic knowledge.. HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE_ICAR 18. The scientific and formative objective leading concerns the training to the use of critical tools and the resuming of the methods of historical research, particularly historical and architectural, in relationship to the different historiographic systems. In this sense, the research projects mainly turn to the analysis of architectural organisms and individual actors, and to theoretical issues, which address the urban scale. It is obvious that this situation of thematic plurality leads to several thematic connections between the many aspects in which the architecture is declinable; in fact, the history of buildings to its full development can not interfere with specific issues to the Art History in general, with those in the history of criticism; with the aesthetics; with the history of science, as well as specifically with the history of construction techniques. RESTORATION_ICAR 19. The scientific and formative objective leading concerns the training to the use of critical tools and the resuming of the methods of research, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between theories and practice of conservation. In this sense, the research projects mainly turn to the analysis of architectural organisms, and to theoretical issues, which address the urban scale themes of conservation and restoration involving the protection of witnesses and landscape context. It is obvious that this situation of thematic plurality leads to several thematic connections between the many aspects in which the architecture is declinable; in fact, the history of buildings to its full development can not interfere with specific issues to the Art History in general, with those in the history of criticism; with the aesthetics; with the history of science, as well as specifically with the history of construction techniques.
