IEREK - International Experts for Research Enrichment and Knowledge Exchange, in collaborazione con Ain Shams University - Cairo, organizza una International Summer School - Advanced Urban Design che si terrà a Roma dal 10 al 23 luglio 2017.
Il corso si concentrerà sulle tecniche e tecnologie più avanzate usate nell'urban design, inteso come un approccio progettuale capaci di dare forma e carattere alla città o alle parti di essa. Sono, infatti, gli interventi sul tessuto urbano che definiscono sviluppi orizzontali e verticali, così come le relazioni tra gli edifici, i punti d'incontro, gli assi di movimento e quelli visivi. In questo contesto gli interventi da effettuare si presentano come qualcosa di molto complesso che, però, è ancora esclusivamente il risultato delle decisioni dei politici e della progettazione degli ingegneri. Proprio per questo motivo il corso vuole analizzare un esempio concreto, osservando il disegno infrastrutturale di un'importante segno del paesaggio urbano romano: la linea ferroviaria Valle Aurelia - Vigna Clara.
Urban design is an approach that provides a city with a shape, form, and character. It is a study of parts of the city that constitute a group of buildings or an integrated urban fabric and focuses on physical material elements such as blocks and the spaces around them and their relationships with each of the second and third dimensions.
Urban design maneuvers around major details that define horizontal and vertical relationships of sectors to identify themes of motion, entrances to buildings and assembly points, and deviation and intersections and overlaps between axes of movement and Visual axes. It deals with city or sector zoning as an abstract and urban designer takes the design rights of ownership or employer and acting within a certain area.
One role of crucial importance in urban design is the infrastructure as it is still exclusively the result of policymaker's decisions and engineers' designs. Thus, the complexity of infrastructural systems is only conceived in terms of pure functionality, and so the developments are managed merely in technocratic terms.
IEREK in collaboration with Ain Shams university - Cairo will host a two-week summer school in advanced urban design. The course will deal with advanced techniques and technologies used in urban design. It is important to be mentioned that the course will go through a real case study on: "Designing infrastructure: a key turn in urban landscape, case study the valle Aurelia- Vigna Clara train line- Rome".
