Dipartimento di Architettura

At the center of the scientific interests of the Department of Architecture is the "design" for architecture and landscape understood as the fulcrum of a broad spectrum of mutually interrelated and complementary skills. The multiple active competences of the DiARC allow departmental research to deploy a comprehensive approach in dealing with aspects characterizing the different dimensional scales involved both in the practice of new architecture and in understanding and transforming existing architecture, with its multiple implications.

The vast spectrum of base and applied research extends to multiple spheres, encompassing different degrees and modes of knowledge and action. These spheres include architectural and urban planning, history of architecture, restoration of architectural and landscape heritage, urban studies and land planning, building surveys and the representation of buildings, technological and environmental design and planning of architecture, and furniture design, as well as complementary specialties such as legal aspects, mathematical analysis and estimative procedures, computerized data analysis and land information systems.

Post-graduation education is ensured by the Doctorate in Architecture. The aim of this course is to train researchers with competences up to international standards, autonomous critical abilities and high scientific specialization in specific fields reflecting the plurality of disciplines taught at the Department.

Finally, the Department's research intertwines with the research conducted by the following Interdepartmental Centers: the Center for Research on the Iconography of the European City (CIRICE), the Center for Architectural and Environmental Heritage (BAP), the "Alberto Calza Bini" Center, the "Raffaele D'Ambrosio" Laboratory for Urban and Landscape Planning (LUPT), the Center for the Study of Traditional Techniques in the Mediterranean Region (CITTAM), and the Urban/Eco Center.

The “Marcello Canino” library subsequently became inter-departmental, incorporating the books of the former Department of Urban Planning and the former Department of Architectural and Environmental Planning.

The “Marcello Canino” Library has the following subsidiary libraries:

  • Library of the former Department for the Configuration and Enactment of Architecture - This library was created at the same time as the department, in 1985, by merging the book holdings of several libraries and closed-down Institutes. Over time it acquired documents for teaching and research, notably through legacies from professors, including one from professor emeritus Massimo Nunziata, which also included a collection of paintings.
  • Library of the former Department for the Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage - This library was created at the same time as the department it belonged to, in 1985. Ever since its inauguration it has been acquiring books and journals for teaching and research.
  • Departmental Library - "Roberto Pane" section - The Roberto Pane library was formed in 1936 from a core founded by the eminent Neapolitan scholar Roberto Pane, to whom it was dedicated in 2001. Today it is a specialized library whose objective is to preserve and promote librarian and documentary resources relative to the fields of History of Architecture, Urban History, History of Art and Restoration, and to support research and teaching.
  • Library of the School of Specialization in Architectural and Landscape Heritage- This library holding, part of the "Roberto Pane" Library, includes books and journals acquired from the 1970s onward by the School of Specialization in Restoration of Monuments (subsequently renamed School of Specialization in Architectural and Landscape Heritage). This library holding is of special interest for research on restoration, history of architecture, urban history, and history of art.

Third mission

Starting from the central role of planning disciplines in studies on architecture and change in towns and rural areas, the departmental research groups have developed many applied-research activities involving institutions and stakeholders. The third mission activities of the Department address strategic issues in architecture. One sphere of activity regards the investigation and representation of the built environment, and compatible materials and technologies to be used in actions on existing buildings, in the form either of ex novo plans or of restoration, renovation, and maintenance. It also has active conventions on themes connected to cultures of habitation and settlement patterns in the Mediterranean area and on urban regeneration, from the disused city to the smart landscape. In the urban studies sector, the third mission activities of the Department take the form of technical consulting in land management for local institutions. In this perspective, an important role is also played by disciplines employing computer tools for assessments in view of urban and landscape planning. These disciplines develop decision-making support systems for local areas, notably by developing land information systems on GIS platforms. Research activities for third parties assist actors in making appropriate decisions in the management of the built environment. This sector of the Department carries out many applied investigations on the planning and testing of integrated system for environmental, urban, and building retrofit actions.

The third-mission activities of the Department also include the organization of public involvement actions, in the form of open days, orientation sessions, exhibitions, and various other events open to the collectivity.
