Cagliari and the old city: ancient wounds and a new meaning
International Workshop of Architectural and Urban Restoration
10-22, September 2007
Actually very often emerges the presence of gaps in the fabric of the old towns, caused by traumatic interventions. Big and small empty spaces represent the cause of urban disqualification.
The international workshop aims to represent an occasion to think about the unexpressed potentialities of the ancient city of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), reflecting about three emblematic cases: S. Francesco cloister in Stampace, the interrupted block of houses between S. Domenico’s church and via S. Giacomo in Villanova and the demolished block between via Fara and via S. Margherita in Stampace. Starting from the deep comprehension of the historical essence of the analysed spaces, the aim is the re-definition of its urban image.
The workshop will be accompanied by a debate conducted by experts and institutions on restoration and project on the old city.
The event will have place in Cagliari, Faculty of Architecture of the University of Cagliari, in the building of the Department of Architecture, in via Corte d’Appello 87.
Activities
The workshop aims to explore the three case-study, to express their architectural value and to delineate their new rule in the valorization of the public space where they are located.
It will be divided in three phases:
-
September, 10-13 – illustration of the morphology of sites, of the history an of the urban and architectural evolution of the cases-study, in relation with the main cultural and practical questions that every group of students will have to confront;
-
