ALA Rome 20-21 SYLLABUS First Semester 2020/2021 Sapienza, University of Rome ARCHITECTURE LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY ERASMUS JOINT MASTER 1 EMJMD ALA ALA is a postgraduate international and interdisciplinary 2-yrs (120ECT) Erasmus Joint Master Programme in Architecture, Landscape and Archaeology, developed by a consortium of 4 institutions (University of Rome Sapienza, University of Coimbra, National Technical University of Athens, University of Naples Federico II) and associated partners (other universities, governmental and international agencies, museums and archaeological sites, architectural professional offices). The three partner countries, Italy, Greece, Portugal, represent academic and professional excellence in the fields of architecture, landscape and archaeology at European and global level. Nowadays architects and archaeologists are different professions whose training and education follow diverse paths, regardless the frequent and increasing need for a joint and shared approach especially in the professional challenges (national boards for heritage, conservation companies, architects’ offices, etc.). The ALA Master has therefore the following finalities: •A fully recognized Joint Degree; •To encourage interaction between the different professions and a better integration between preservation strategies, planning and contemporary design interventions; •To form highly specialized experts able to understand and apply the correct analytical, scientific and creative skills for the enhancement of archaeological contexts; •To bridge academic and job-market needs with the exchange of expertise in a highly innovative research area (Archaeology/Cultural Heritage/Design/Public-Private investments).

  • Architectural Spolia and Urban Transformation in Rome from the Fourth to the Thirteenth Century
    Patrizio Pensabene Architectural Spolia and Urban Transformation in Rome from the Fourth to the Thirteenth Century Summary This paper is a historical outline of the practice of reuse in Rome between the th and th century AD. It comments on the relevance of the Arch of Constantine and the Basil- ica Lateranensis in creating a tradition of meanings and ways of the reuse. Moreover, the paper focuses on the government’s attitude towards the preservation of ancient edifices in the monumental center of Rome in the first half of the th century AD, although it has been established that the reuse of public edifices only became a normal practice starting in th century Rome. Between the th and th century the city was transformed into set- tlements connected to the principal groups of ruins. Then, with the Carolingian Age, the city achieved a new unity and several new, large-scale churches were created. These con- struction projects required systematic spoliation of existing marble. The city enlarged even more rapidly in the Romanesque period with the construction of a large basilica for which marble had to be sought in the periphery of the ancient city. At that time there existed a highly developed organization for spoliating and reworking ancient marble: the Cos- matesque Workshop. Keywords: Re-use; Rome; Arch of Constantine; Basilica Lateranensis; urban transforma- tion. Dieser Artikel bietet eine Übersicht über den Einsatz von Spolien in Rom zwischen dem . und dem . Jahrhundert n. Chr. Er zeigt auf, wie mit dem Konstantinsbogen und der Ba- silica Lateranensis eine Tradition von Bedeutungsbezügen und Strategien der Spolienver- wendung begründet wurde.

  • Chapter 3 Who Built the Pantheon? Agrippa, Apollodorus, Hadrian And
    Despite so much that is known about Roman buildings, Chapter 3 there is relatively little to say about the individuals involved in the ferment of their creation. We can reconstruct Who Built the Pantheon? confidently the original appearance of many a monument, but not much about their designers. This is not for want of Agrippa, Apollodorus, information; it is just not quite of the right kind. All around the Mediterranean survive ample ruins, including some Hadrian and Trajan strikingly well-preserved buildings, of which the Pantheon is the prime example. This physical evidence is illuminated by literary sources, inscriptions and brickstamps, and on Mark Wilson Jones occasion by maps and drawings inscribed in stone. Notwithstanding some long-running disputes, we can often be sure of the identity and date of individual monuments in major cities. We also possess quite a populous roster of architects’ names, thanks to numbers of their tombstones, along with the occasional textual mention of a few of the men at the top of their profession. Some buildings bear discreet architects’ inscriptions, yet these are nothing like as numerous and prominent as those of their patrons; it is they who take the credit. In short, it is normally impossible to join up specific surviving buildings with specific architects about whom we know any more than the name. In this the Roman period fares worse than the Greek, when architects were frequently tied to particular projects by specifications, contracts and accounts recorded on stone, while the names of famous protagonists can be found in the treatises of Roman writers, most notably Vitruvius and Pliny.1 By such means we know of no fewer than three individuals who had responsibility for the design of the Parthenon in one role or other, Ictinus, Kallikrates and Karpion, while a fourth, Phidias, the creator of Athena Parthenos, may also have had some architectural input.

  • Presentazione Di Powerpoint
    LA CICLOVIA DI ROMA GRAB 20 LUGLIO 2020 Alessandro Fuschiotto Il GRAB: un anello “a pedali” di 45 km che toccherà i luoghi più significativi di Roma dal centro alla periferia. Il tracciato, a vocazione turistico-culturale, passerà lungo il Colosseo, le Terme di Caracalla, via Appia Antica, la Riserva Naturale dell’Aniene, Villa Ada, Villa Borghese, Via Guido Reni, viale Angelico, Via Lepanto, Via Giulia, il Ghetto, il Campidoglio e Via dei Fori imperiali. Il tracciato del GRAB persegue le finalità richieste: • massima connessione della Ciclovia alla rete ciclabile esistente ed in corso di progettazione al fine rendere la nuova infrastruttura parte integrante del sistema della mobilità urbana; • massima attenzione all’intermodalità eventualmente anche con la realizzazione di servizi dedicati quali ciclostazioni; • massima attenzione alla capacità di innescare processi e progetti di riqualificazione (macroprogetti) delle parti urbane interessate dal passaggio della ciclovia. Ciclovia Turistica Urbana di Roma Il progetto per la prima Ciclovia di Roma prevede la realizzazione di un anello ciclabile ad alta accessibilità. Si tratta di un’infrastruttura complessa finalizzata non solo alla valorizzazione dell’offerta turistica ma anche all’aumento dell’accessibilità urbana ampliata, e alla diffusione di modalità di spostamento più sostenibili e salutari, anche di scala locale. Il progetto di Ciclovia si differenzia da quello di semplice pista ciclabile perchè il suo tracciato dialoga con la città che attraversa, avviando processi di valorizzazione e riqualificazione degli spazi fisici della città oggi trascurati, abbandonati, degradati. Spazi di eccellenza e funzioni urbane quotidiane sono intercettati e messi in rete dalla Ciclovia anche grazie alla massima interconnessione che il tracciato ha con le altre infrastrutture della «mobilità dolce» - piste ciclabili, esistenti e di progetto - e la rete di TPL, con particolare riferimento a quella su ferro.

The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, and was used The Colosseum or for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea Amphitheatrum ***** Unknown Piazza del Colosseo battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, Flavium and dramas based on Classical mythology. General Admission €14, Students €7,5 (includes Colosseum, Foro Romano + Palatino). Hypogeum can be visited with previous reservation (+8€). Mon-Sun (8.30am-1h before sunset) On the western side of the Colosseum, this monumental triple arch was built in AD 315 to celebrate the emperor Constantine's victory over his rival Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (AD 312). Rising to a height of 25m, it's the largest of Rome's surviving ***** Arch of Constantine Unknown Piazza del Colosseo triumphal arches. Above the archways is placed the attic, composed of brickwork revetted (faced) with marble. A staircase within the arch is entered from a door at some height from the ground, on the west side, facing the Palatine Hill. The arch served as the finish line for the marathon athletic event for the 1960 Summer Olympics. The Domus Aurea was a vast landscaped palace built by the Emperor Nero in the heart of ancient Rome after the great fire in 64 AD had destroyed a large part of the city and the aristocratic villas on the Palatine Hill.

A Topography of Death: the buildings of the emperor Maxentius on the Via Appia, Rome Lorraine Kerr Introduction It has often been noted that the circus of Maxentius, part of a complex of buildings erected by that emperor on the Via Appia beh-veen AD 306-12, is curiously positioned relative to contemporary and pre-existing structures. This feature, and the generally cramped nature of the site, is usually explained in terms of restrictions imposed by the natural topography of the area (e.g., D' Alessio 1998: 17; Ioppolo 1999: 45-46).1 However, a recent visit to the complex suggested that the orientation of the circus was not controlled exclusively by topographic factors, but also by the location of an important pre-existing tomb built in the immediate area, which is here argued to have been purposely integrated into the Maxentian architectural scheme.
