INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS - Lesson 1
Laura Bocci
Link: https://meet.google.com/qqa-bkem-esk
Abstract:
The course is designed to teach students how to analyse and interpret quantitative information covering a wide range of disciplines. Data analysis is relevant in any research effort since data is a raw material that do not provide the needful information for decision making on its own. The main goal of the course is the acquisition of the fundamental statistical tools necessary to comprehend the characteristic elements inherent in the data as well as the process that generated them. The course emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of data for a conscious use of quantitative information by providing students with the main descriptive statistics, graphical representations and descriptive summary statistics. At the end of the course, the student will have inadequate knowledge of the descriptive statistics, both from a theoretical and an applicative point of view. Furthermore, the student will be able to use in autonomy the basic statistical techniques learnt by having developed the necessary analytical skills.

"CULTURED" PROFESSIONALISM IN ROME IN THE POSTWAR YEARS
organized by: Fabio Cutroni
1. Claudio Dall’Olio: the beginnings,1945-55
Fabio Cutroni
Room 42
Claudio Dall’Olio has been an architect of great interest in the Roman scene of the last post-war period; exponent ofa "cultured" professionalism that, although neglected by the most accredited historiographical narratives, has characterized large part of Italian architecture of the second half of the twentieth century. The lesson try to explain the partial results of a research that was aimed to investigate his work as a designer - still little being known - focusing on the decade 1945-55, a crucial period in which the start of a large and significant professional activity is intertwined with the architectural and urban planning events in Rome, starting from the uncomfortable but unavoidable fascist legacy and from the imperative urgencies of post-war reconstruction, towards the rapid and tumultuous changes of the years to come.

THE LESSON OF A PROJECT ‘ON PAPER’
organized by: Maura Percoco
The series of two lessons aims to describe a theoretical-design research which, starting from a historical and critical interpretation of the participation in the E 42 competitions by Milanese architects, comes to recognize in the project for the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana by Albini and Gardella the architectural features and the current themes that make this work, even if only ‘on paper’, still capable of transmitting 'architectural ideas'.
1. E 42 and its calls for competition: an opportunity for a «cordata di compagni»
Maura Percoco
Room 42
Abstract:
The lesson aims to critically frame the research activity on the competition project for the ‘Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana’ at E 42 by Albini, Gardella, Palanti and Romano. To understand the singularity of the anti-monumental and unconventional position assumed by the Milanese architects, it is necessary to take a step back and examine the data of the design task:
to understand the reasons for the competitions and the requests of the competition notices, both explicit and implicit; to evaluate the multiplicity of cultural attitudes expressed by the numerous participants, mostly compliant with the rhetorical atmospere increasingly surrounds the E42 initiative, from which the «cordata di compagni» Albini, Gardella, Palanti and Romano, united in feeling architecture as a service to the community, firmly and courageously standed at a distance.

2. A square in place of a palace. The representation of 'Civiltà' at E 42 for Albini, Gardella, Palanti and Romano
Maura Percoco
Room 42
Abstract:
Animated by a common purpose and interested in the debate on ideas, the group of friends Franco Albini, Ignazio Gardella, Giancarlo Palanti and Giovanni Romano decides to accept even the most demanding challenge among the E42 competitions and to participate to the competition project for the building-theme of the Exhibition: the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. What is the notion of civilization that the designers represent in that shared work? Which idea of architecture do they not want to give up, choosing to lose the project competition? What are the aesthetic and compositional choices by means they give their expression of a point of view on the context - cultural rather than urban - alternative to the dominant rhetorical and monumental one?
Reflections on these issues are the content of the second lesson aimed on investigating the conditions for a critical interpretation of the competition project for the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana by Albini, Gardella, Palanti and Romano as the prefiguration of an empty space, made of air and light, useful to meeting and sharing: primary idea of the 'Italian square '.

2. Claudio Dall’Olio: the mature age, 1955-70
Fabio Cutroni
Room 42
Abstract:
In continuity with the contents of the previous lesson, the figure of Claudio Dall'Olio is outlined through the exploration of the year 1955-70, central period of a maturity now fully reached, which is identified with the project for the Institute of Pharmacology at the Sapienza University of Rome, conceived together with his colleague and friend Alfredo Lambertucci. In the background, the uncontrolled growthof a city that expands in every direction, according to the logic of profit and income, following the private interests of great owners and real estate companies, devouring villas and country areas but, above all, nullifying every effort of urban planning.

ARCHITECTURE AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER: COMPARING VISIONS AND RESEARCHES
organized by: Fabio Cutroni, Maura Percoco
Having by now overcome the traditional concept of ‘teaching', as a univocal knowledge transfer from teacher to students, the new pedagogical approaches promote a more free, active and interdisciplinary 'learning'. Starting from this theoretical statement, both meetings will analyze the conceptual aspects and the main thematic nodes relating to the architectural design of learning spaces in contemporary city.
1. Learning Spaces. New Models in Contemporary Architecture
Fabio Cutroni, Maura Percoco
Room 42
Abstract:
A critical analysis of some recent educational buildings (schools and universities) provides a reference framework useful to investigate the ways and the tools through which the deep transformations that nowadays have affected the life and the activity of school and academic communities – in particular regarding their social role and the emerging learning models – have found expression in contemporary architectural research.

2. Educational Buildings and Cities. Intersections, Crossings and Hybridizations
Fabio Cutroni, Maura Percoco
Room 44
Abstract:
The vocation of educational buildings (schools and universities) to be rooted in a specific economic, political and social context, has a new development today, thanks to the opportunities of localization within heavily urbanized areas, linked to the reuse or replacement of an increasing amount of obsolete or unused buildings, and thanks to the progressive affirmation of an idea of openness to the city, linked to the presence of public functions usable by citizens. The research wants to explore current intervention models and strategies, capable of expressing different levels of relationship and dialogue
with the existing environment.

TRANSITIONAL LIVING. INTERPRETING DOMESTICITY IN POVERTY OR POST-DISASTER CONDITIONS
organized by: Maria Argenti, Maura Percoco
The challenge that the housing emergency – caused by calamitous events or poverty conditions – brings to the architectural project lies in its ability to construe the notion of "temporariness" and the assumption of "programmatic indeterminacy". In a series of three lectures will be presented the research on emergency housing based on this assumption.
1. The house which moves, transforms, 'grows'. Research and project between architecture and design
Maria Argenti, Maura Percoco
Room: Ex direzione DAU
Abstract:
Within the lesson, will be outlined the assumptions and the main lines of research development which, interpreting the project as a process, or rather in an evolutive perspective both of the housing module and of the aggregation system, prefigures in the 'temporary systems of settlement with planned development' a possible and valid architectural solution.

Link: https://meet.google.com/fbm-qgzk-zxe
Room 42
Abstract:
By illustrating some emblematic works by João Batista Vilanova Artigas and Paulo Mendes da Rocha, the lecture aims to highlight the relationship between architectural design and social commitment, between architectural choices and urban design dynamics. Indeed, the architectural space of São Paulo stands in opposition to the logic of the uncontrolled expansion of the São Paulo metropolis, while seeking continuity with it. The architectural project assumes an ordering, introverted, and at the same time extroverted role.

Course: City, History and Built Environment: earthquakes and other risks
2. Construction and earthquake: Pre-modern earthquake equipments
Cesira Paolini, Marina Pugnaletto, Edoardo Currà
Room 42
Abstract
Within the built environment, the relationship between the built heritage and the seismic event plays a critical role.If on the one hand the reconstruction of destructive events has contributed to the birth of “new towns” that would allow, through the definition of new urban systems, the creation of safe spaces and escape routes within the built fabric, on the other hand the recurrence of devastating earthquakes has directed the construction practice towards systems that would ensure a certain degree of safety.Today, the in-depth technical and scientific knowledge and the current modeling tools guide and direct the approach to seismic problems, but it is certain that even in the past, when scientific knowledge was not available, a response to earthquakes was always sought, that could mitigate the damage to the built environment and increase the safety of the population.The influence that inevitably the culture and seismic history of the place has exerted in the urban evolution of the city, together with theadoption in the construction practice of "anti-seismic" measures born from the experience of repeated telluric events, have characterized the future of many historic cities: the need to rebuild entire parts of the city has generated new approaches in urban design as well as techniques born from the need to prevent, counteract or compensate for damage due to earthquake movements have given rise to "forms" that have become an integral part of the construction lexicon of the building heritage.In this context, the research, of historical evolutionary character, is directed on the one hand towards the knowledge of the post earthquake reconstruction that took place on the territory of Southern Italy,which have represented a way to redesign the cities even in their urban fabric, and on the other hand towards the identification of thoseconstruction methods that over the centuries have been adopted aspre-modern anti-seismic solutions.

2. Temporary cities. Planned development models for settlements inpeace-emergency times
Maria Argenti, Maura Percoco, Giulio Paparella
Room: Ex direzione DAU
Abstract:
In emergency housing research, the project holds a central role as the principal tool for analyzing a reality. It gives rise to out-of-the-ordinary questions, and to conceive and to define valid solutions. Regarding the design investigations carried out in this research field, the lesson analyzes some themes and compositional logics responding to the main principles of flexibility and aggregative versatility of space modules, which are economical, easy to transport and install. These elements are composed of lightweight parts, to be assembled directly in the emergency reception areas to realize instant and temporary quarters, expandable over time according to the needs.

The evolution of design and construction quality control tools
Anna Maria Giovenale
Room 42
Abstract:
The lesson is dedicated, from the point of view of technological culture, to the evolution of the tools for controlling the quality of the design and the quality of the building process. Some important evolutionary stages are retraced: from the design quality control tools applied to important residential building intervention programs, as a support to the decisions of public clients, to the guidance tools for design defined by the evolution of the rules on public works.

3. Additive Architectures. An effective tool for decoding contemporary dwelling needs?
Maria Argenti, Maura Percoco, ing. PhD Giulio Paparella
Link: https://meet.google.com/ahx-pkot-rgb
Classroom: ex direzione DAU
Abstract:
Recent advancements in large-scale 3D printing technology and digital fabrication are bringing important innovations to this field of research. The particular nature of this technology lies in its capacity to establish a relationship between the ‘virtual world’ of computational design (the level to which design can be personalised) and the ‘real world’ of construction (the potential to simplify realisation). By introducing new methods of construction that continue to bring construction closer to ‘production’, and design closer to product, 3D printing gives new meaning to the concepts of technical reproduction and seriality. It invites us to rethink the very approach for minimum, evolving, and transitory housing. Beginning with these considerations, this updated research phase reflects on and identifies limits and possibilities for the application of large scale 3D printing technologies for the post-emergency field.

2: Knowledge of Context; the Biomimicry
Gianluigi Loffreda and Armando Trento
Room 42
Abstract:
Various types of Architectural design processes have corresponding and coherent databases.Design theory in every field – mainly in architecture – is centred around the Context. This one is formalised by appropriate ways to effectively improve design solutions or suggest new ones to the designer Actor.A second key to the reading of design improved by computational tools is Biomimicry. This one starting from nature-elaborated strategies tuned in millions of years comes back with them by analogies– using the most advanced simulations – to verify them through methodologies and optimised solutions validated in architectural design fields.

Fragile and forgotten. The materials of the Modern Movement poised between industry and craftsmanship
organized by Emilia Garda
link: https://meet.google.com/dcj-pfpn-cnf
Room 42
Many questions arise in the face of the material legacy of the ModernMovement.How to intervene on these buildings so difficult to interpret, suspended between past and present, still pulsating with life but often already forgotten?What are the limits,inevitably underlying the desire for conservation? What are the appropriate selection criteria? What to do with those furnishings designed in an indispensable way by the environments for which they were designed? How to orient oneself in the face of technological solutions no longer practiced or in the face of materials no longer in production or producible?From the role of the technique, the reflection extends to the use of materials in rationalist poetics and it is surprising to see how those "new","autarchic", "experimental" finds were actually much more tied to aesthetic, symbolic, evocative choices than the adherence to the principles of functionalism would have led to the assumption.

Abstract:
The lesson is divided into three parts with a ten-minute break between them. New knowledge formalisations comprehend- at a higher abstraction level - the actual Actor Realm building use.So, a building can be dimensioned on analytical simulations – no more on average use data – on future occupancy from the design phase.Another broad field of Knowledge formalisation is the ontology one that regards archaeological sites to classify, preserve and exploit them; itis shown an exhaustive implementation more advanced than the UNESCOone. It is presented research regarding simulations of Digitalconstructability, worksites and activity clash detection. Advanced CAADresearches.

The work of the Engineers-Architects of the roman school of architecture
Ruggero Lenci
Room 42
Link: https://meet.google.com/gft-hewx-ysi
Abstract:
One hundred and fifty years after the proclamation of Rome as the capital of Italy it is useful, in the Faculty of Engineering, to remember the story of those engineers who worked as architects in a city that, since 1871, has become a territory in which to carry out rapid and impressive urban transformations. Not without deep wounds inflicted on those magnificent villas - some of which have been lost forever - the experience produced in the long journey by these transformations has made recognizable an operational sensitivity which, albeit with errors and excesses, is defined as belonging to the "Roman School of Architecture". Anyone who wants to reconstruct the articulations of this School, its traditions and declinations today – be it an architect, an engineer or else – cannot avoid retracing the urban transformations of Rome as capital city.

Abstract
Aspects of São Paulo's architectural production of the 1960s-1970s persist today, enriched with new meanings, in the face of new challenges. These include the regeneration of informal settlements, for which the spatial configurations to be implemented must be able to organize a 'disorder' arising from repeated settlement spontaneity, devoid of predefined plans. The lecture will be an opportunity to reflect on the birth and growth of slums, as well as strategies to improve the housing conditions of a large segment of the population of Greater São Paulo.

Problematic heritage: analysis and design of disused landscapes
Anna Bruna Menghini
Room 42
Abstract:
The lesson investigates the cognitive and operational role that architectural project can play in the interpretation, enhancement and transformation of contemporary landscapes, with particular attention to marginal areas subject to abandonment. In particular, the problem analysed are the ones of de-industrialization and its effects on the current forms of the territory.The lesson focuses, on the one hand, on the recognition of industrial landscapes and architectures as a legacy - although problematic - of modernity, for their historical, social and cultural significance, and on the other hand on the criticalities and the potential of disused production sites.Through some case studies located in the South of Italy and in the Balkan Region (territories previously involved in a heavy industrial policy and nowadays particularly affected by the production crisis), the lesson illustrates the strategies and methods adopted in the framework of programmes aimed at environmental restoration and functional reuse, but above all aimed at the recognition of old and new cultural meanings and shared social values, such as to motivate communities to engage in a redevelopment of those 'problematic' landscapes and artefacts.

Abstract:
In the context of the strategies aimed at enhancing natural andanthropic landscapes for a cultural valued tourism development, the inclusionof historical and environmental heritage in an integrated system promotes awide spread fruition and an organic development of the territories. The lesson illustrates the objectives and methods of an interdisciplinary research (MOSTVAL-MOdels for Sustainable Territorial VALorisation strategies), through the description of a case study, the Fier region, in the central southern part of Albania. It is a territory with great potential, largely unexpressed, due to the presence of natural parks and protected areas, historical sites and some of the most interesting Albanian archaeological sites. The city of Fier, because of its barycentric position, is identified as an important reference center fort he enhancement and fruition of this territory, including in the system also disused industrial sites that are waiting for recovery and reuse.

EBD methodologies and tools for the design of health and social healthfacilities
Tiziana Ferrante
Room 42
Abstract
In the last thirty years, the design of health facilities has started a research sector known as Evidence Based Design (EBD) with the aim of demonstrating how the spatial,functional, relational and psycho-perceptive
characteristics of environment, based on empirical data, are able to contribute to the well-being of users. The EBD approach extends to any project area, but the best results were obtained mainly in the health sector,as it was possible to measure a feedback on the performance of both the building and its spaces to be used as a basis of technical knowledge for an effective design.The lesson aims to show,starting from the presentation of numerous application experiences, the effectiveness of EBD methodologies for defining the most suitable strategies for the design improvement of health and social health facilities.

Abstract:
The seminar aims to address the theme of contemporary livingin "Transitional Countries", territories highly vulnerable, continuously affected by humanitarian, environmental and health crises. It seems apparently a distant topic, but actually it closely touches the Western world, which is increasingly involved in emergency and sustainability issues. Mostly, the seminar will examine the topics related to the culture of "living" and "building", that characterise the rural areas and urban contexts of sub-Saharan Africa as well as the role that the architectural design can assume in supporting sustainable growth of these territories and enhancing processes of the local cultures.

The stone cladding in the Parco del Foro Italico. History, technique, conservation.
Eng. Gabriella Arena SPORT e salute SpA, introduced byl prof. Marco Ferrero
Abstract
The Foro Italico, originally named Foro Mussolini, occupies a large area for sports facilities built by the Opera Nazionale Balilla, the complex is intended for meeting and carrying out collective activities. These activities, which in ancient Rome were commercial and political, in this case become sporting and monumental. This combination has led to the construction of buildings and equipment, building an organic system of paths, open spaces and monuments that constitute the urban backbone of the complex and, in its grandeur, proposes the splendours of the ancient Empire, with a metaphysical imprint. The lowest common denominator is the accentuation of the use of stone materials, protagonists of the complex for the dual reason: to raise the mining industry and legitimize the political power referring it to the history of the past. The extensive application of these materials to the facades, floors and urban furnishings of the complex has generated an example of marble cladding considered a unique in architecture. Precisely on this last element we want, in this seminar, to focus attention by retracing the architectures and plants of the forum in their history, technique and conservation.

Abstract
The workshop is divided into two parts. In the first part of the morning, knowledge about the debate of the city on the theme of healthy cities, developed at a European and global level, with attention to the role of Architecture in the process of construction of the revolt to the role of well-being, at different scales, is provided. of intervention, and illustrate research carried out and case studies in line with the objectives of the city of well-being. In the second part, on the same theme, the European Capacity Building KA 2 HURBE project - https://hurbe-project.eu/ - is illustrated with the aim of developing European tools. The doctoral students will carry out a workshop aimed at the construction of a European project idea, on one of the themes of the Healthy City, simulating the development of some key documents required in the application phase of European projects.

The project of environmental communication in complex buildings. Configurational analysis and possible solutions
Teresa Villani
Room 42
Abstract
Design can provide the means to guide perceptive processes, by trying to act on the environment’s ability to provide intelligible and meaningful information. Making a space communicative by enhancing its usability entails anticipating perceptive processes and pursuing better quality for human environment interaction.This requirement becomes important in highly crowded buildings (airports, hospitals, extensive museums).The lesson will be about the possible methodologies of support to the design aimed at improving the environmental communicativeness such as the configurational analysis that allow to qualify the interaction between spaces, proximity relationships, hierarchy and differentiation of paths, readability of accesses and visit times through measurements. Some applications of the configurational analysis, carried out in museum environments, will be presented, such that they have allowed to identify the critical areas where itis possible to increase communicativeness through the use of sensory materials.

2° Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale ROMA-TIVOLI-ROMA
Organized by AIPAI and DICEA
Abstract
The contemporary territories and cities are innervated by the signs of production and work: from those imprinted in the post-industrial landscape to those perceivable in the organization, aspirations and criticalities of today’s society. They are the visible effects of a very near past, impossible to overlook for the cultural, economic-social and environmental challenges of the present and the years to come. The recovery of the Industrial Heritage is therefore strategic and passes through the recognition of the values of the industrial heritage that, thanks to the affirmation and spread of the methods of Industrial Archaeology, leads to the emergence of conspicuous deposits of memory that help to understand the ways and structures of society and contemporary man. It is a process of collective enrichment that makes even clearer the urgency of spreading the tools of investigation, reading and protection that from the beginning are the prerogative of the different founding disciplines of industrial archaeology, starting with those of historical-styles economic, architectural-technological and industrial history, to which over the years have been added new and essential sensibilities such as those towards the landscape and the sanitary and environmental qualities of post-industrial territories.
The congress vision has a broad perspective and aims to offer a plural context to share studies, methodologies, good practices and positive experiences. This is well represented by the 11 thematic areas proposed that, touching all the current themes of the Industrial Heritage, invite for a broad and renewed reflection, not limited to the sectors and the classical specialisms of Industrial Archaeology. Finally, the numerous sessions offer specific insights that can be complemented by those resulting from submissions from participants.

Simulating buildings with deep learning, massive computing, and symbolic reasoning
Organized by Antonio Fioravanti; with Mark Clayton
Room 17
link: https://meet.google.com/vid-pnmu-put
Abstract
Definitions and contents, the algorithm is like a recipe: it is not a mechanical management of ingredients... So, it is interesting which and how programs architects use; another important point is that the software improvements are for ever, so ability and knowledge can be accumulated.
AI – Artificial Intelligence path and Architectural design process (that both frequently lead to a sequence of errors) has been evolving this way:
• Algorithms, Computer scientist and engineering mechanically applied to Architecture what they thought the architecture was (Fortran, C). Algorithms +Data structure = Programs (Nicholas Wirth).
• Symbolic processing, a model of thought (the physical symbol system hypothesis, H. Simon). Programming languages, descriptive and declarative ones (Lisp, Prolog).
• Semantic networks and object-orientation programming (C++, Java, Phyton). Blending Artistic and Physical matters, similarity with alternative computer program approaches.
• Neural networks are models of the brain, symbolic process. Difficulty in managing the architectural required requirements of flexibility and adaptability.
Unifying all these approaches into one gains momentum, it is a general research stream; many times we can observe that apparent “impossible” problems are become solvable.
Brick and mortar now are also classes, algorithms, and bots.
Architecture, Vitruvius, and Sir Henry Wotton, according to English architects' meanings.
• Firmness, structural integrity, its problematic nature in nowadays temporary constructions.
• Commodity, that is different from the Latin noun "utilitas" as it does not imply the effort to appreciate a tool.
• Delight, beauty, many times it has become arbitrariness or, oddly, rigid, “classical” shapes.

Edited by: Lidia Decandia, Enzo Scandurra
Description:
DOING RESEARCH
We propose a seminar that starts from the reading of two texts: The ecstatic mind by Elvio Facchinelli (Adelphi) and in a flight of starlings by Giorgio Parisi (Rizzoli).
They tackle the problem of how ideas are born, comparing scientists and humanists. The creative process appears the same for both and is the result of rationality, intuition, the unconscious, or sudden flashes, Einstein argued that being completely conscious is an extreme case, which never occurs: in thought there is always an unconscious part. Rita Montalcino claimed that most of the scientific revelations came to him in his sleep, etc.
The other aspect concerns the various phases of the process of doing research: the initial enthusiasm, the enormous difficulties and confusion as soon as the work begins, the frustrations, the blind roads that lead nowhere (the night of tears and blood) and, finally, simplicity and naturalness once the steps have been completed and the (satisfactory) results obtained.

Description:
QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGIES AND FILM DEVICES AS CATALYST OF SOCIAL INTERACTION. THE CASE OF BURNS LAKE
The lesson aims at reflecting on some issues, methodologically relevant, that characterize a research project built on qualitative methodologies: definition of objectives and plan of the research, field familiarization, research methodologies, recursiveness of the definition processes of tools / objectives, asymmetric reciprocity of collaborative processes, ethical issues, sharing of results. These dimensions will be explored starting from the situated account of some research projects

Lecture by Massimo Ilardi
Description:
REFLECTING, SEARCHING, WORKING IN THE URBAN TERRITORY
The analytical method usually used in research on the city and its territory must be reversed, an indispensable reversal for the understanding of social processes and urban transformations. The path that must be undertaken must not start, as usually happens, from the relationship between the economic system and the form of the city, with the most visible but obvious phenomena and without any political relevance such as real estate speculation, rent and gentrification, for then arrive, but only in the most virtuous research, at the social figures who experience and suffer them. The path is another: it must start from the relationship between the form of the city and the composition of social subjectivity, with its living conditions, its desires, its passions, its struggles and its political forms of representation (provided that there are are and in any case always forgotten in the other research path) to then reach development and economic transformation.

Lesson by Angela Barbanente
Description:
TRANSFORMATIVE TERRITORIAL PRACTICES: METHODOLOGICAL ELEMENTS FOR A MULTILEVEL PERSPECTIVE
The lecture will deal with innovation in urban and territorial policies aimed at promoting transformative practices. After explaining this concept, the theoretical foundations and methodological framework of the approach known as Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) will be illustrated. Its effectiveness and limitations in analyzing the different spheres that, at various levels, affect the dynamics of innovation will be highlighted. In an analytical perspective, particular attention will be paid to the multi-level flows that connect the innovations developed in a given context to the cognitive, regulatory and operational routines of that context and to the power systems that influence its changes. In an action-oriented perspective, the focus will be on the policy mixes that can be can be brought into play to promote and support transformative practices in territorial policies and to counteract resistance to change. As case studies some experiences of construction and implementation of public policies in the field of urban regeneration and landscape planning will be presented, which have involved the teacher as a researcher-in-action.

Description:
COMPLEX SYSTEMS AND URBAN PLANNING: ABDUCTION, IMMANENCE AND SELF-REGULATION IN "DESIGN" RESEARCH
It will be discussed the fundamentals of an approach definable as abductive to "complex" territorial systems, and the reasons why it can be considered as an intrinsically immanentist, self-regulating and ultimately "design" research attitude. For exemplary purposes, the use of various metaphors regarding the "urban and planning environments" will be illustrated, intended as ecological-mental systems, as processes of "imagination" and as de/re-territorializing dynamics.

Lesson by Lidia Decandia
Description:
MATTERS OF METHOD: ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND MINIMAL STORIES AS TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING BECOMING.
Starting from the assumption that the historical moment we are experiencing is a period of transition and passage, the seminar intends to reflect on the role that attention to detail and minimal stories can have in understanding and interpreting the becoming of marginal territories. Instead of enclosing reality in dichotomous blocks and rigid determinations, in fact, a careful look at "what one looks at but does not perceive" and "what one hears but does not mean" can help us to see lines of movement, embryos in gestation, stages initials of something that has not yet manifested itself, but that could develop and give rise to further concatenations, collide and mix with something else and bring out new constellations. It is within these premises that we will analyze, through some examples, the potential offered, also in territorial research, by the methodologies of an indicative nature of the psychoanalytic and historical-artistic tradition as tools to bring out the hidden power of reality and give expression to those unspoken images that still can't come to light.

SEMINAR
Edited by Natalia Agati, Giovanni Attili, Lidia Decandia, Giulia Bonanno
Description:
AESTHETICS AND POLITICS. A WAY TO CRITICALLY RE-ENCHANT THE WORLD
Within the seminar we will try to investigate in a philosophical-anthropological key the role that some aesthetic-political experiences can have in enchanting, disenchanting or critically re-enchanting the urban space, starting from the Benjaminian lesson on the aestheticization of politics and the politicization of art.
The premise of the seminar is that the artistic experience represents a precious laboratory through which to experiment, with the use of metalanguages, our relationship with reality, modifying the perception of the world. It does not physically discover and transform, but creates the conditions for doing so by acting on a symbolic level.
If culture shapes the way we perceive the world by structuring our emotional responses according to a certain ontological, physiological and pathological regime (Consigliere, 2020), then artistic experiences can prove to be a valuable tool for revealing jammed social mechanisms, for making them critique and witness an alternative model (Velotti, 2017). By going through the estrangement of the artistic experience we can stop dis-seeing and learn to dis-see the world, as after a trip or following the experimentation of what Foucault called techniques of the self, re-inclusion of the elsewhere and the otherwise . In this sense, the artistic experience offers a precious possibility to critically re-enchant the urban space, politically awakening the sense of wonder.
If we recognize aesthetics as an instrumental and constitutive dimension of human society, we will also understand its precious value for investigating the transformations of contemporary society and for activating a more aware and complex design intelligence.
With Stefania Consigliere and Stefano Velotti.

"LE DUE PERIFERIE. IL TERRITORIO E L'IMMAGINARIO" (DERIVEAPPRODI, 2022), DI MASSIMO ILARDI
Description:
The aim of the book is to define what the territory is today, in a time in which it has acquired a fundamental centrality: it is, in fact, that the practices of freedom and the desires of a consumer society without politics are projected, of values and future. The territory is our present, just when it seemed that everything could be understood and solved on a computer keyboard. The gaze is directed above all towards the urban suburbs because it is precisely here that the specific characteristics of the territory assume extreme importance and clarity: the social minorities that inhabit them, the cultures and mentalities that cross them, the violence that defines relationships and hierarchies.

BOOK PRESENTATION
CIVITA. WITHOUT ADJECTIVES AND WITHOUT OTHER
SPECIFICATIONS, by Giovanni Attili.
The history of Civita di Bagnoregio pulsates in the inexorable movement of becoming and metamorphosis. It is the nature of his tormented land: collapses and reconstructions, abandonments and repopulations, vital ties that are torn and new relationships are knotted. When surrender seems inevitable, the village finds a new breath every time. A new ability to inhabit.
Civita therefore offers itself as a place of circular time: a time in which death is the prelude to a periodic re-foundation of the existing. It is this cyclical conception that allows civitanic earth to signify death. To be a companion on the road. After all, the history of Civita has always been about the ability to transform death into an inhabited place.
But history knows sudden lacerations. Today that, in the village, commodification has engulfed every area of life, death has stripped of its sacredness to be reduced to a spectacular icon. In this new tragic frontier of the irremediable, Civita has expelled life and its capacity for regeneration. That dwelling, once firmly sewn to the earth, is crumbling in the absence of actions capable of throwing the existing forward into the future.

Description:
WHEN SPACE MAKES IT DONE: GIVE SIGNS TO THE PRACTICES OF SPACE
The seminar foresees the invitation of prof. Michela Deni, University of Nimes, Projekt social design research center, in order to open a reflection on the relationship between two conceptions of built space: as an object of representation or aesthetic apprehension and as an inhabited territory, invested by a socially oriented praxeology. The reflection will concern the possibility of describing and analyzing the different ways in which the morphologies of the built space assume the ability to direct practices and action programs, to present themselves as emblematic synthesis of social interactions and relationships, or vice versa, if it can only have a pure communication function.

ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND INTERNAL AREAS
edited by Giovanni Attili, Alberto Marzo and Serena Olcuire
Moment of collective comparison to recognize and name some possibilities of artistic and cultural practices in the transformative processes of the territories, and the conditions in which these possibilities can be realized.
The day will be structured around two main threads:
1) living - actions and processes which, voluntarily or not, involve the recovery and reactivation of physical spaces, both for collective activities and for individual residences; more intangible results that concern the experimentation of innovative, often temporary ways of living, which allow for a renewed translocal relationship.
2) imaginaries - practices work on the co-creation of new imaginaries, offering tools to imagine futures for their territories, urgent work especially considering the particular historical circumstances, which between the pandemic crisis and the consequent funding linked to the PNRR have made this reflection even more pressing; at the same time, the existing place-based planning experiments have evident limitations especially in the ability to collect (and produce?) visionary and enabling territory horizons.

MIXING EXERCISES. BEYOND THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN CITY AND NATURE
Description:
The Mixing Exercises seminar aims to investigate the transformations taking place in contemporary urban territories, to try to outline new interpretative tools and deconstruct the paradigm based on the clear separation between city and nature. Through an interdisciplinary approach - historical, philosophical and design - we want to think about an urban hypothesis in which man and nature, seen in its complexity, once again relate in an open and creative way.
In a moment of deep crisis and transformation, the seminar intends to offer ideas to feed the collective imagination and reconsider the urban form as a living and pulsating organism. With the aim of overcoming the prevailing rhetoric of greenery, and thinking of a city capable of welcoming, in a free and flexible way, the mix and metamorphosis between natural and artificial elements.
In this context, it will be possible to reflect on the city of Rome, an evocative urban territory, in which nature has historically demonstrated that it dialogues with the built environment in an autonomous and synergistic way.

HISTORICAL LANDSCAPE AND NEW RURALITY: THE MANY VALUES OF THE PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE
The recovery and revaluation of the agricultural landscape associated with the productive traditions that have shaped it, with the territory that supports them and with the urban centers that surround and supply primary food. Their effects on the processes and culture of living, health, the environment and sustainable development.
The day will be structured around two main threads:
1- Tools for identifying the different types of agricultural landscapes, their environmental quality and the value of ecosystem, cultural, social, economic services, etc. to promote the production of complex, resilient and connected landscapes.
2- The methods used to involve the greatest number of actors, with a great diversity (researchers, civil associations, members of the public administration, etc.) and giving a voice to subjects who alone cannot be heard. The ways of working from the bottom up on bills and concrete actions on the support of family farming, organic farming, zero kilometer production, access to healthy food, food education, the preservation and enhancement of agricultural landscapes for its ecological-environmental, cultural and social value. Evaluation of the results obtained up to now (network of local food policies, register of historic agricultural landscapes, etc.).

Neoliberal forms of government at the intersection of migration processes and homelessness
The intertwining of migratory processes and homelessness increasingly emerges as central and relevant at an empirical level but little addressed in scientific production and public debate.
In the seminar we want to try to interrogate the multiple connections that intersect the two phenomena, looking both at the multiple forms of violence and at the mechanisms of production and management of marginality and at the different forms of subjectivity and life on the margins of the contemporary urban environment.

BEYOND THE CITY AND THE COUNTRYSIDE TOWARDS AN UNPRECEDENTED CITY-NATURE: RELIBIN IN THE INTERNAL AREAS OF GALLURA
Description:
The seminar, of a residential nature, aims to build, through the experience of immersion in a context, an opportunity for discussion and study on new forms of living in internal areas, with specific attention to the context of Gallura. The seminar, which is imagined to last 4 days, will compare scholars from different locations and disciplinary fields with different local actors. The aim is to reflect creatively on the ambiguities but above all on the potential that these new ways of living offer, to rethink in a design key, unprecedented forms of urbanity capable of overcoming the rigid city-countryside dichotomy and re-weaving the relationship between the human beings, the stories settled on the territory and the variegated and still little known animal and vegetable world.
