Objectives and teaching methodsThe graduate degree programme in Architecture for the Old and New aims to produce a professional figure that is able to handle the complexity of the design and planning process in all its aspects and to understand, use and coordinate theories and techniques from the different subject activities. The architecture design is examined in relation to contemporary culture, history, technology, techniques and places. From this perspective, the degree programme intends to produce a designer-constructor whose knowledge is based on theoretical and techno-scientific foundations, that are consistent with present and future demand for practical knowledge. The scientific-cultural design is aimed at the development of the knowledge required for contemporary intervention in conservation and restoration of modern and ancient architecture.The two veins ‘Old’ and ‘New’ are distinguished especially in the integrated studios and choice of related and integrated subjects. Both veins present new themes of sustainability and G

energy saving, which have taken on an important role in contemporary design practice. The design studios are supported by single-subject courses that examine core subject areas as well as those related and integrated. These latter are chosen by the student from a list of courses that might provide further support to the chosen track, whilestill offering a useful vision of education as an architect. This form of education can also be joined by complementary experimentation, such as intensive seminars. The final semester, the fourth, is entirely devoted to preparing the final exam and assessment, using experimental forms of interrelation with units of research active on themes of scientific and teaching interest.
