Dear Prof. Nicola Santopuoli and Prof.ssa Alessandra Capuano,

I am writing on behalf of my colleagues, the second year students of The Master degree of Architecture Conservation (international program). We want to convey that we are very happy with the course of Urban Morphology by Prof. Giuseppe Strappa.

During this difficult period, even though the lessons were held online, Prof. Strappa has always organized the class in interesting sessions; including seminars presented by other universities’ professors to give short lectures about broad topics of Urban Morphology. This class was well organized and since the beginning it has been very useful for us as students.

Regarding the topic of Urban Morphology itself, we think of it as an interesting and important subject which helped us get better understanding on reading of the urban fabric and its transformation process as it is the root of architectural advancements and restoration activites. As international students coming from so many countries and different cultural backgrounds, it was very rewarding for us to have knowledge about this topic.

During all the lessons, Prof. Strappa and the assistant professors have always explained clearly and kindly about the material. The professor also provided us with plenty of study resources (books, research papers, articles etc.). All of them have been very kind and have taken utmost efforts to explain the concepts on a deeper level in a stipulated time period.

Considering the reasons mentioned above, we sincerely think that the course is very valuable and useful for us as students studying Architecture Conservation.

Thank you. Sincerely

On behalf of ;

COURSE IN URBAN MORPHOLOGY – 2020-21 – Prof. G.Strappa

20 September 2020 gstrappa Leave a comment

UNIVERSITA’ DEGLI STUDI DI ROMA “LA SAPIENZA”. FACOLTÀ DI ARCHITETTURA

Master Course Ar 1051714

https://meet.google.com/imm-wjfy-per

Via Gianturco, room G 31, 3.30 – 7.00 pm

prof. Giuseppe Strappa , arch. Anna Rita Donatella Amato, arch. , arch. Francesca De Rosa. arch. Ermelinda Di Chiara, arch. Alessandra Pusceddu,

OPENING 7th OCTOBER – 3.30 pm

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. Despite their great variety and complexity, in fact, some common and continuous formative principles can be recognized in such processes. The basic notions of organism and process will be used to read the built landscape. The term “reading” does not indicate the simple and neutral recording of phenomena, but requires the active contribution of the reader, creating a synthesis of the will of the subject and the attitude of the object. The main purpose of the typological study proposed by the course is precisely the identification of the qualitative differences contained in the characters of the built reality, the recognition of the process of their formation and transformation, their internal dialectic of extensive exchanges and integrations.

Architectural knotting

Giuseppe Strappa

Duilio Cambellotti, L’inizio (The beginning).

The awareness of being able to use primary and universal characters in new architectural organisms, built with innovative techniques, responding to new needs and aesthetic values, constitutes the essence of the transition of European architecture to modernity. Buildings constructed according to these principles represent the vast majority of the renewal of cities in the first forty years of the XXI century. The modern movement experiments, even if useful to explore new ways, are, in fact, a minor and not fundamental part in the real urban transformations, above all in the areas of more rooted masonry-plastic culture.
This explains. for example, how it was possible such an evident continuity in the development of architecture in Italy in the interwar period, even in political conditions inducing a rhetorical interpretation of the historical heritage.
These are durable building organisms, using architectural layouts that are still vital precisely because they have not conformed, over time, to a specific function. They are “generic” organisms in the etymological sense of the term, capable of generating whole families of multiple, new architectures.
Many modern buildings (such as universities, schools, postal buildings) tend in different ways, in continuity with historical processes, to form a society of solidary spaces linked by a common purpose and a common rule. This rule is indirectly derived from the transformation of fabrics, through the permanence of typical structures such as convents or palaces. The beginning of this modern process can be clearly identified in the “urban necessity” of linking the building to the external paths, tightening it, at the same time, around an open space that tends to become the true nucleus of the forming process.

16 May 2019 gstrappa Leave a comment

Workshop in Urban Morphology and Design

21th – 30th May, 2019
Faculty of Architecture, Sapienza University – Piazza Borghese, 9 – Rome

The workshop intend to offer the opportunity ,to students of Sapienza and Siberian Federal Universities, to methodically carry out an architectural study on the Rome historical fabric . Students will be followed by a teaching team of professors and tutors according to a project concerning:

the morphological reading of a limited part of Roman historical fabric through the methods of UM;
the representation and redesigning of the urban fabric;
the design of a new urban intervention concerning the recovery, contemporary design, urban restoration of the area under study.

As theme of the workshop is proposed the preservation and the processual transformation of the fabric structured by the route Ponte Sisto / Piazza Trilussa / Via del Politeama / Via della Renella / Piazza Tavani Arquati / Viale Trastevere / Piazza Gioacchino Belli. The workshop will end with a presentation of the different works.

LETTURA E RIQUALIFICAZIONE URBANA DEL QUARTIERE DI SAN TELMO A BUENOS AIRES, Tesi di laurea di ANNA RITA DONATELLA AMATO

11 July 2013 gstrappa Leave a comment

SAPIENZA UNIVERSITA’ DI ROMA
FACOLTA’ DI ARCHITETTURA VALLE GIULIA
CORSO DI LAUREA SPECIALISTICA ARCHITETTURA (RESTAURO)
TESI DI LAUREA IN PROGETTAZIONE ARCHITETTONICA: LETTURA E RIQUALIFICAZIONE URBANA DEL QUARTIERE DI SAN TELMO A BUENOS AIRES
RELATORE: PROF. GIUSEPPE STRAPPA
CORRELATORE: ARCH. ALESSANDRO FRANCHETTI PARDO
TUTOR: LUIS EDUARDO TOSONI
LAUREANDA: ANNA RITA DONATELLA AMATO

Buenos Aires rispecchia in molti suoi aspetti le caratteristiche tipiche di una metropoli contemporanea costituitasi non più di duecento anni fa; i grattacieli del micro centro e di puerto madero, le enormi avenidas e la sua struttura urbana sempre perpendicolare, mostrano la sua forte connotazione di città di fondazione interamente pianificata .
In questo contesto, che non sembrerebbe lasciar spazio a riflessioni sul processo formativo del tessuto urbano, si riscontra invece, in gran parte del patrimonio edilizio presente, una costante inaspettata che fa tesoro di molte caratteristiche figlie di un tipo edilizio mediterraneo che ha più di duemila anni. Il tipo a corte, della domus romana, viene importato in Argentina e in generale in latino-america dalle colonizzazioni spagnole e diventa la matrice di quel tessuto urbano che oggi è l’essenza di Buenos Aires.
La casa de patios, come dimostrano gli studi di F. Diez, corrisponde al tipo base, le cui evoluzioni e trasformazioni hanno determinato la formazione di tipi sempre più vicini alle esigenze di densità e modernità della città argentina, costituendo organismi edilizi, come l’edificio entre medianeras, in cui si coniugano l’esigenza di verticalità con la memoria della corte come spazio di distribuzione e, forse l’aspetto meno condivisibile, le stesse dimensioni del lotto di una casa de medio patio (7,5m circa, 10 varas), diretta derivazione della casa de patios.
In questo contesto si collocano i progetti di riqualificazione dell’ex patronato de infancia e dei progetti residenziali di Defensa y Carlos Calvos e Paseo Colon y Estados Unidos.
In tutti gli interventi , che vorrebbero costituire una sorta di metodo guida per la progettazione nel tessuto storico, il tema base è quello della stretta connessione tra percorsi e organismo architettonico, intendendo come tale anche le corti e gli spazi aperti che in questo senso concorrono alla definizione dell’organismo urbano a cui sono direttamente collegate.
