Some students of my UM course asked me to publish the pp of the last lecture on territory. The slides are here presented without the overlapping drawings I made during the lecture (lost when the file was closed). It might be a good exercise for them to redraw the route’s hierarchy on the mute bases.
The forming process of the Algerian territory
Salah Eddine Heffaf – Amar Telidji University
The lecture will present the formation and transformation process of the built environment, at territorial scale, in the Ouled Nail and Djebel Amour mounts, following the principle of organicity such as developed in the Muratorian thought. This reading makes it possible to distinguish periods of relative stability, during which the territorial organism was endowed with all the values of the type, from periods of imbalance induced by the various waves of colonization.

KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE FOR EVIDENCE BASED URBAN PRACTICES
urban morphology
Kaebup International Lectures is a series of web and in attendance meetings intended to investigate the relations between the discipline of Urban Morphology and Architectural Design.
The initiative relies on the contributions of the international research group Kaebup and of the Sapienza University Urban Morphology Course in Rome. The series of lectures aims to present different methods of reading the built landscape and ways of translating research into evidence-based design. The series of lectures has been organized in the belief that combining research and practice could open up new aspects of the disciplinary debate on the tools of the architectural design.
Here are the schedule and the program of next year’s Urban Morphology course, which will be optional. Attendance to the course will be free. The course, taught in English, will provide 6 credits and will be open to all students of the Facult . It will also be open to all Erasmus students.
START OF COURSES: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5 – h. 3-00 pm
VALLE GIULIA room V 8 (Aula Fiorentino)

GOALS
The course aims to teach a method of reading the built landscape through the knowledge of the forming processes common to urban fabrics and buildings. The basic notions of organism and process will be used to read the built landscape.
The main purpose of the typological study proposed by the course is the identification of the characters of the built environment and the recognition of the formation and transformation processes , having as ultimate goal the architectural design.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The course will consist of:
EXAMINATION
Students will be evaluated through an oral test.
The student will be free to choose one of the following forms of exam:
1. presentation of the work carried out during the course on one of the themes included in the program. The student’s work will be followed periodically by the teachers and may also contain a simple project proposal as an example of the theoretical study.
2. Discussion on one of the theoretical topics listed in the course program.
The students will also be free to present all the works they consider useful for evaluation.
