ISSUM International Summer School on Urban Morphology, Rome, 20-28 June 2022

Organized by:

IsufItaly, as a member of International Seminar on Urban Form, Italian Network and Kaebup (Knowledge Alliance for Evidence-Based Urban Practices), welcomes applications from Master and Ph.D. architecture and planning students interested in Urban Morphology research to participate in an International Summer School on Urban Morphology to be held in Rome from 20 to 28 June 2022.  ISSUM, organized with the contribution of Isuf Regional Network, aims to offer students the opportunity to learn methods of UM through the teaching of international teachers and concretely verify the knowledge acquired through the interpretation of the built landscape. The ISSUM goal is to provide also a center of excellence in urban form knowledge through multiple exchanges and involvement of students, academics, professionals in learning, research, and design.  Through lectures and studio work, discussions, and research activities (in English), participants will explore the urban morphology studies' role in reading historical and consolidated urban fabrics and producing an evidence-based intervention design.

We will pursue the goal through

Lectures intended to cover the theoretical part of the school's teaching. 

They will be held by:
• Isufitaly teachers giving lectures to introduce the students to the local UM methods (Italian-processual school).  
• Guest teachers giving lectures on their research methods in UM. 
• Guest professionals to give lectures on their design experience linked to the study of urban form.

Field surveys, organized by host teachers, will guide the students in practical urban analysis. The team of teachers will also provide the basic cartography helpful in reading the various case studies.

Studio activities, intended as reading exercises and practical drawings concerning the selected urban fabrics. They will also involve some hints on the architectural design related to the fabric studied. The students' work will be discussed with the contribution of the host teachers, including local academics and professionals.  

Site

Lectures and studio work will take place at Palazzo Cenci Bolognetti, a Renaissance building in Piazza delle Cinque Scole in Rome. The site is located in the Ghetto area, in a special and remarkable historical area where the Medieval and Renaissance fabric blends with the ancient substratum. The area around the school will be the subject of the morphological readings.
