CONTEMPORARY DESIGN IN HISTORIC CENTRES

A workshop experience in Ferrara, Italy, 28th June - 7th July, 2017

 

Historic urban areas of a city are valuable assets of a city.

They not only generate great cultural interest, but also provide high density housing. Conservation and revitalization of such areas add to the richness and livability for the future of a city. The historic city centres are essential part of the cultural heritage of each country.

However, researchers and professionals concerned with the conservation of historic city centres frequntly emphasize the need to accept change. This often sounds reasonable until the details of the proposed changes emerge. Changes in the physical structure are inevitable and have been continuing from ancient times, but ther is the need of control over these changes in order to reach a compromise between sustainability and restoration.

The presence of empty spaces in an historic setting serve as a proxy for understanding the relationship between different levels of urban interaction, from the relative autonomy of the household that used its nearby spaces idiosyncratically, to the larger impositions of authority through urban design in the form of streets and open squares.

The workshop will be focused on the study and revitalization of the urban area of "Schifanoia Palace" that are in restoration process after the earthquake of 2012: students will work on the urban structure and the architectural aspects in order to develop proposals also for the renovation of the surrounding sites. The course structure is made up of an interesting mix of lessons and design exercises. Teachers and professionals linked at Ferrara University are going to be involved in the course to better assure a wider and deeper knowledge of each theme.
