CyNUM’s 2nd Regional Urban Morphology Conference

 

Conference Brief
CyNUM’s 2nd Regional Urban Morphology Conference aims to establish a common platform to discuss further how cities, in the
context of the south-eastern Mediterranean, transform over time by concentrating on their urban morphological characteristics.
The conference sets up an academic and professional arena in which urban morphology would be explored through heritage
conservation-based urban transformation, regeneration-based urban transformation, and (re)development-based urban
transformation within the rich urban context of south-eastern Mediterranean cities. The sub-themes of the conference are as follows:
• Transformation of Urban Form
• Architecture, Heritage and Urban Form
• Conservation of Urban Landscape
• Public Space Network

 Alnwick

O âmbito e a extensão da morfologia urbana como um cluster de ciências interdisciplinares dedicadas à explicação do ambiente construído expandiu-se muito nos últimos anos, particularmente com o desenvolvimento de análises baseadas na matemática. Isto, incontestavelmente, enriqueceu o campo como um todo, mas este panorama de interesses mais vasto em nada afeta a centralidade de um enquadramento de síntese, cultural e historicamente sensível. Espera-se que esta edição portuguesa de Alnwick, Northumberland venha a encorajar uma geração crescente de morfólogos no mundo lusófono a aumentarem a sua familiaridade com uma das mais significativas explanações fundacionais de teoria e método na tradição histórico-geográfica de morfologia urbana.

ISSUM – International Summer School on Urban Morphology – Rome, 20 / 28 June 2022

IsufItaly, as a member of International Seminar on Urban Form, Italian Network and Kaebup (Knowledge Alliance for Evidence-Based Urban Practices), welcomes applications from Master and PhD architecture and planning students interested in Urban Morphology research to participate in an International Summer School on Urban Morphology to be held in Rome from 20 to 28 June 2022 . 
ISSUM, organized with the contribution of Isuf Regional Network, aims to offer students the opportunity to learn methods of UM through the teaching of international teachers and concretely verify the knowledge acquired through the interpretation of the built landscape. The ISSUM goal is to provide also a centre of excellence in urban form knowledge through multiple exchanges and involvement of students, academics, professionals in learning, research and design. 
Through lectures and studio work, discussions, and research activities (in English), participants will explore the urban morphology studies’ role in reading historical and consolidated urban fabrics and producing an evidence-based intervention design.

The goal will be achieved through

Lectures intended to cover the theoretical part of the school’s teaching. 

They will be held by:
• Isufitaly teachers  giving lectures to introduce the students to the local UM methods (Italian-processual school).  
• Guest teachers giving lectures on their research methods in UM. 
• Guest professionals to give lectures on their design experience linked to the study of urban form.

Field surveys,  organized by host teachers, will guide the students in practical urban analysis. The team of teachers will also provide the basic cartography helpful in reading the various case studies.

Studio activities, intended as reading exercises and practical drawings concerning the selected urban fabrics. They will also involve some hints on the architectural design related to the fabric studied. The students’ work will be discussed with the contribution of the host teachers, including local academics and  professionals.  

Site
Lectures and studio work will take place at Palazzo Cenci Bolognetti, a Renaissance building in Piazza delle Cinque Scole in Rome. The site is located in the Ghetto area, in a specially  remarkable historical area where the Medieval and Renaissance fabric blends with the  ancient substratum. The area around the school will be the subject of the morphological readings.
 
Application
A jury will select a group of 15 participants.  

Minimum Requirements for the application are: 
• 4th-year Architecture or Urban Planning student 
• Some experience in urban form studies  
To apply, interested students are required to send: 
• name and surname 
• date of birth, place of residence and nationality, email address 
• a brief academic and professional CV and a motivation letter (maximum 4000 characters in all) containing  all data considered useful for the evaluation (schools,  universities and post-graduate courses attended, professional experiences,  publications, etc. )

Please send your application by  15th March 2022 to the link: https://tinyurl.com/mr3r8zhs 
 
The result of the selection will be communicated via email by 10th April 2022. For further details or inquiries, please write to:  

isufitaly_morphologyproject@yahoo.com

Registration
For the participation to the ISSUM, the payment of a fee of € 200 after the selection is required as a contribution to organizational expenses. The fee should be paid by 30th April 2022 and includes lectures and the use of educational spaces.

To support the dissemination of UM studies, Isuf will provide a grant to an African Student. 
A final dinner will be organized on the 28th in a nearby restaurant (included in the fee). The fee does not include accommodation costs and the optional tour which will be organized on Sunday 26th of June.
