with the most updated research
products of the scientific field, it
contains original advancements, and
it is clear, sound, ethically and
methodologically correct
E: in spite premises (of the work as well as of the
Candidate) were promising, for what concerns
research advancements and skills, the actual product
is far from being significative for the actual debate.
D: the thesis draft is sufficiently interesting and may
be submitted to the reviewers (with 0/6/12 months of
delay): this opinion is supported by the results in term
of at least one high quality publication about the
research project.
C: an innovative character of the research and an
original contribution of the Candidate are clearly
visible, this last in a good relationship with …
B: as C but very (not simply) good: mastery and
visibility of the candidate in his scientific field is clearly
recognizable (publication track and activities).

with Catherine Maumi, MHAevt, ENSAG (Grenoble-F)
RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE –Le Territoire comme objec d’étude
June 12th (2017) - Aula menouno, Building 15 – Campus Leonardo
C.Maumi teaches History and Culture of Architecture at the école national superieure
d’Architecture (ENSAG), where she coordinates the Laboratoire Metiers de l’Architecture,
supervising PhD Candidates’s thesis. The meeting calls for a reflection on the role of territory
in architectural research, that lies (following her thought) in the openness and the ability to
adopt a cross scale approach, from the single building to the broader landscape, and to
consider the many built environment layers, from the physical, geo-historical dimension to
the immaterial dynamic of societies, institutions and memories.

CITY TRANSFORMATION seen through chronological and cross-cultural analysis
June 8th (2017) - Aula Consiglio, Building 14 – Campus Leonardo
Two different case studies will be presented, dealing with different scales of city
transformation: the city agglomeration in Delhi (M.P. Guerrieri) and the reconstruction of
Thessaloniki (C.Pallini). Urbanization operations, part of development processes, may cause
severe negative impact on the existing heritage. It is our duty, as researchers in architectural
design, to develop a methodology to analyze multifaceted and stratified heritage and to find a
way to effectively integrate heritage care in urban development process.

It is not sufﬁcient, however, that the new design process integrates a new expertise, and that
from linear it becomes circular; it is also necessary to deﬁne a planning strategy, the one charac-
terizing the ZEB, that is not simply a ‘normal’ building in which renewable energy is used instead
of oil or gas; it is a building designed in a different way, whose planning strategy is depicted in
Figure 3, where it is pointed out that the maximum effort must go into minimizing the amount of
energy needed to provide high levels of thermal and visual comfort, by means of appropriate
Figure 2. Integrated design.

This lecture is about the modeling of wood at various
scales, from their microstructure to complex elements like
beams, and the use of stochastic hierarchical models in the
framework of Bayesian statistics, to capture the inherent
variability of the elastic properties of individual timber planks
and the uncertainty of the parameters controlling their
probability distributions.

JOHN PENDLEBURY @polimi
The Authorised Heritage Discourse (AHD) questions why material objects from the past should
be considered valuable and extend this to what should be protected and to how that protection
should take place; that is, what constitutes heritage and acceptable conservation practice.
Using the AHD as a framing device, this lecture is focused upon the practice of conservation
applied through the English planning system. It will reflect upon how, in tandem with the growth
and extension of a system of conservation-planning, the protection of the historic environment
has, over recent decades, become increasingly intertwined with other public policy objectives,
especially with urban regeneration and economic development.

JOSEP-MARIA GARCIA FUENTES @Polimi
Building memories and inventing space
May 25th - room S.1.7, Building 3 - Campus Leonardo, 9h30-11h30
Josep-Maria Garcia Fuentes is researcher at the School of Architecture, Planning and
Landscape of Newcastle University and will talk with us about John Soane’s House and
Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
John Soane, Royal Gold Medal for architecture in 1776, was one of the most brilliant
architects of his time. He had a thorough understanding of historical architectures,
thanks to his travels in continental Europe, and a pioneering and visionary approach
to architecture that let him become a constant reference for many twentieth-century
architects in Europe and beyond.
Our main questions: How a journey can provide the basis to the architect’s “formal
education”? Does collective history need the architect’s imagination? And, what is the
role of “nostalgia” in the never-ending reconstruction/invention of the past?
