GENERAL COURSE STRUCTURE

The practice of reuse, considered as a new or further use either of an individual building or of an entire urban context, is a central topic in contemporary architecture. The first edition of the ReUSO BIP event will take place in Bergamo and it is organized by the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DISA) of the University of Bergamo (Italy). The event aims to encourage scholarly discussion on issues concerning the conscious and sustainable re-use of the Built and Landscape Heritage. The “case study” for the BIP project work will be linked to the Venetian Walls of the Fortress of Bergamo, specifically the Sant'Agostino area. The site is today an organic set of buildings and urban systems: it is a symbol of Bergamo's identity and it is highly regarded for its historical, artistic, and cultural value.
