D1 - Knowledge and understanding
Basic knowledge about the theoretical foundations of the discipline and the main intervention techniques. Ability to read understanding both theoretical texts and intervention techniques.
D2 - Applying knowledge and understanding
Application of the foundations acquired in the development of the exercise.
D3 - Making judgements
Ability to develop autonomous judgments based on the reading of restoration interventions.
D4 - Communication skills
Ability to communicate the theoretical and technical notions acquired.
D5 - Learning skills
Ability to rework and transfer the knowledge acquired in the drafting of a restoration project.

Basic knowledge of the history of architecture and constructive techniques.

The course foresees the examination of the main theories of restoration, modernly understood, from the first formulations of the nineteenth century until today, and of the evolution of the intervention techniques, with particular attention for the most advanced ones.
In addition, the development of a tutorial, of monographic type, which relates the theories with the techniques, refers to a specific theme chosen by the student among those proposed.

Lectures, seminars, revisions.

More specific references will be given in class.
Other information, as well as the teaching materials, will be made available by teacher on the Moodle platform.

Student assessment involves the performance of a series of exercises, carried out individually and assigned weekly at the end of the lectures. These exercises cover, alternately, the theoretical and technical aspects covered during the lectures. Their verification and evaluation will be discussed during short seminars that open the following day of lectures.
There are also additional collegial seminars, subject to evaluation, during which the theoretical acquisitions gained during the course are discussed, thanks also to the readings assigned by the lecturer.
The student's final grade is given by the summation of the evaluations obtained from the various exercises carried out during the course, as well as the final presentation of his or her disciplinary definition of restoration.
The final grade is given by means of a grade expressed in thirtieths. To pass the exam (18/30), the student must have correctly completed all the assigned exercises and participated in the collegiate seminars. On the other hand, to achieve the highest mark (30/30 cum laude) the student must have done all the assigned exercises in an original manner and have contributed profitably to the conduct of the collegial seminars, demonstrating that he or she has achieved a full awareness, both theoretical and practical, of the topics covered during the course.

This teaching explores topics closely related to one or more of the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
