Obiettivi dell'insegnamento

The courses related to the economic, social, legal issues for architecture and urban planning provide students with understanding and theoretical knowledge complementary and synergistic with the disciplinary ones of the architectural field necessary to face with greater awareness, effectiveness and concreteness the design activity.

In particular, the student will be able to deepen one of these three areas:

- knowledge in the social sciences relating to the relationship between man and built environment and to the changes that have characterized this relationship over time and the effects that these changes have produced on conceptions, representations and the project of architecture;

- knowledge in the field of constitutional law, and the principles of administrative law, urban planning law and the legal regime of construction activities in European and national legislation;

- knowledge of economic issues (type and functioning of markets, analysis of supply and demand, private and public goods, bankruptcy and market regulation) related to the design and construction in building sectors.

Argomenti trattati

The course explores the main social, economic and physical transformations that are currently redefining the form and configuration of contemporary cities. Due to both long-term structural processes of change, the recent global recession and wave of austerity policies, and the technological, communication and production transformations, new concerns about the complex relations between urban development, social cohesion and quality of life arise. The role of architecture in the creation and shaping of spaces and opportunities for social integration is crucial, especially in connection with other disciplines and professions such as urban planning, urban sociology, welfare policies and social work. The main aim of the course is therefore to provide students with some analytical tools to critically consider the relations between the spatial and social features of contemporary cities, and of their current transformations.

The course will be organised in three parts.

  1. the first part will first centre on the origins and the classics of urban sociology and then deal with the shift from fordism to post-fordism and its impact on the city;
  2. the second part will tackle different phenomena affecting contemporary cities, including globalization, gentrification, segregation;
  3. the third part will focus on cities as places of welfare, and explore how architecture can contribute facing the complex and hard challenges posed by long-term macro processes combined with the recent great recession, including the housing crisis, the new poverty, the refugees’ flows.

Invited speakers, expert on specific topics, will enrich the course.

Active participation of students throughout the course will be encouraged and evaluated.
