Final Review of the Bachelor and Master Project "The promise of re-use - live/work in Urbino" at the Chair of Urban Design and Housing.
About the project:
This semester we explore re-use and the adaptation of existing building fabric in the most exotic of locations, Urbino. A world heritage site and birthplace of Bramante and Raphael, Urbino epitomises the Renaissance notion of ambiente, nature and history, landscape and cityscape. Projects are located in the medieval fabric within the old city walls and the outlying university precincts, developed from the 1960s-70s with the intention of finding strategies for adaptive re-use of the buildings to provide living and working environments. The special qualities of the existing buildings prompt fresh ideas about living in plan and section, threshold and territory. The project was bringing us face to face with two important creative protagonists who each contributed so much to the development of the city, the Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect and military engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Giancarlo de Carlo, core member of Team X from 1956, urban planner of Urbino from 1958, and founder of ILAUD (International Laboratory of Architecture & Urban Design) in 1976.
