History of medieval and modern architecture
(objectives)
The course will provide students with a basic framework for the study of Western architecture, from the High Middle Ages to the late Barocco. Through a combination of lectures and guided fieldtrips the pupils will be introduced to the study of the periods under examination, of construction history, and of the most representative buildings, as well as architectonic trends and relative solutions in construction. Moreover, the course will propose a monographic seminar, the Architecture of Donato Bramante, with the intention of furnishing pupils with an example of in-depth historical analysis. The course will also offer basic methodological notions for historical and critical analysis of architectonic witnesses from the period, so as to provide the essential tools necessary for an active and concrete knowledge of historical architecture, an essential pre-requisite for conservation.
Knowledge and understanding: the candidate should know and illustrate the main architectural events, the relative contexts and constructions, with the relative typological, stylistic, constructive solutions, with particular attention to the relationship between architecture and decoration.
Applying knowledge and understanding: the candidate should be able to understand, analyze and illustrate also unknown buildings, referable to the architectural contexts treated, with a critical spirit. To this end, during the course, the candidate is due to elaborate a historiographic analysis on an architecture chosen by the candidate, with could be discussed in the examination.
Making judgements: the candidate should independently understand and identify the main architectural features and elements, even in the case of buildings not directly included in the program, however attributable to periods and contexts considered by the same. The candidate should also highlight the existing relationships between the building considered and contemporary, previous and subsequent architectures.
Communication skills: Through guided visits and active lessons, the course aims to stimulate learning and communication skills, with particular attention to the use of the appropriate technical vocabulary, implemented through thematic lessons (architectural orders, construction materials and techniques, typological solutions). The candidate should also illustrate the historical architectural events and their buildings, referring to the architectural solutions, typological systems and stylistic characters, with particular attention to the technical vocabulary.
Learning skills: The candidates should be able to study independently, also in deep, the architectural events of the medieval and modern age not included within the program. Students should achieve the bases to undertake a first cataloging and research activities relating to historic buildings.
