LA FORMAZIONE URBANISTICA PER IL PATRIMONIO STORICO

The paper shows the results of three different experiences of learning by doing in Educational Urbanism ad Architecture Programs, aimed to propose a possible strategy, able to guarantee an alliance between pedagogy, mostly under the point of view of dynamic programming and pre-professional practice, above all in terms of problem solving strategies. The working group was composed by very different figures, not only in terms of background, but also in terms of expertise and scientific interests and experience (professors, young researchers, senior students). The specific object of interest has seen the working group addressing three main topics: urban renewal, technological improvement, preservation of historical heritage. In two of three cases there was not a sort of customer, but pre-professional experience was intended as participation in competitions, which has recently become an integral part of professional activity for architects and hence the need to integrate traditional academic pedagogic methods able to prepare young professionals to face challenges and work opportunities, which arise frequently in international and therefore selective contexts.
