Case study: Michelotti Park, Turin

The multidisciplinary Atelier “Restoration Project” is held during the first year of the Master of Science Level in Architecture Heritage Preservation and Enhancement. The Master’s aim to operate in the field of landscape and architectural heritage, in order to answer to safeguard and restoration issues, with particular care to risk and sustainability contests, well aware about the strategies of knowledge and access to cultural heritage. By these goals, the Atelier “Restoration Project”, creates a field of cooperation between different scientific areas (Restoration, Building physics, Science and technology of materials), in order to work and manage a complex architectural design focused on the preservation of an historical context.

The course “Restoration” is mainly based on the theoretical approach to the field, and, further on, develops and deals with the approach to the historical monuments, analyzing the legislative, practical, technological and formal components;
The course “Building physics” develops methods and tools for environmental analysis aimed at preserving and utilizing the architectural heritage, as well as addressing the compatibility issues of systems and plants in historic buildings;
The course “Science and technology of materials” aims at the training of future architects in the knowledge of historical materials in the architectural heritage. The student acquires the tools to identify the materials and their decay morphologies, the skills to understand the chemical, physical and mechanical causes of degradation and the tools to propose materials, products, technologies and solutions appropriate to the project of conservation.
