New Houses Within the Ancient City
No full textlaboratorio A402 is a research unit engaged in the investigation of the ways and means of teaching architectural design, from its conception to its transmission in the ever-changing conditions of the cultural and physical context. Founded in 2019 at the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples "Federico II" by Alberto Calderoni, Luigiemanuele Amabile, Marianna Ascolese and Vanna Cestarello, laboratorio A402 intends to reflect on operating methodologies through which critically read the complexity of the manifold material and immaterial phenomena influencing the design process. The architectural project is thus intended as the main tool to investigate the built environment and understand its necessary transformations, delimiting a field of work defined by a grammar of making, inherent to the practice of architecture. Logbook 02 is about the ancient city of Naples, and how to design a new urban block within its dense urban fabric

Logbook 05 is about taking care of the city, building new facilities and public spaces in the Sanità, a dense and vibrant neighbourhood in the historic city of Naples

Il progetto di architettura: prodotto di ricerca auto espressivo
No full textIl progetto di architettura, in quanto sommatoria di elementi comunicativi, rappresenta una particolare tipologia di prodotto scientifico. Il saggio affronta alcuni aspetti peculiari di tale tipo di prodotto, problematizzandone la sua essenza
Logbook 8. Urban Thresholds
No full textLaboratorio A402 is a research unit engaged in the investigation of architectural design teaching – from its conception to its transmission – within the ever-changing cultural and physical context. Founded in 2019 at the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples Federico II, Laboratorio A402 examines methodological approaches to critically interpret the complexity of material and immaterial phenomena influencing design processes. The architectural project serves as the primary instrument for studying the built environment and understanding its necessary transformations, defining a field of work through a grammar of making intrinsic to architectural practice. Logbook 8 is about the design of new spatial devices and urban thresholds on the north-eastern edge of the ancient city of Naples
Logbook 7. The Tacit Power of Architecture
No full textLaboratorio A402 is a research unit engaged in the investigation of architectural design teaching – from its conception to its transmission – within the ever-changing cultural and physical context. Founded in 2019 at the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples Federico II, Laboratorio A402 examines methodological approaches to critically interpret the complexity of material and immaterial phenomena influencing design processes. The architectural project serves as the primary instrument for studying the built environment and understanding its necessary transformations, defining a field of work through a grammar of making intrinsic to architectural practice. Logbook 07 focuses on the urban boundaries of Naples and how the definition of civic centers can generate a new form of urbanity
Lessico. STOÀ, Strumenti per l'insegnamento della progettazione architettonica
No full textOne of the dominant features of our time is the impoverishment of the lexical landscape, both due to the continuous process of technicalisation of the professional world, which grows increasingly distant from a humanistic approach, and due to the establishment of new forms of communication wherein the image – rather than the verb – has risen to take on the protagonist role. And yet it is precisely through words (their meaning and the cultural references associated with them) that one is able to demarcate a conceptual horizon. In architecture, this usually occurs on two levels – on the one hand, from an operative point of view in the making and constructing architectural arguments and on the other in the development and transmission of the tools through which architectural projects are constructed. In this sense, whenever a term ceases to exist in our linguistic repertoire, so too do the images associated with it cease to exist in our minds. In the context of architectural pedagogy, this void can represent a major obstacle.
Indeed, the absence of a word makes it impossible to access the forms of knowledge associated with it, to grasp its conceptual dimensions in the development of the discipline and, why not, to recognize its relevance for thinking and conceptualizing the contemporary world. It is in this sense that the precise choice of the use words, even if dialectically and through contrasts, can determine the character or the conceptual and cultural bearing of a design course, while at the same time providing the necessary resources for the redefinition of the limits within which a given conceptualization of knowledge occurs. The aim of Stoà 8 [Lexicon] is to carry out a critical reflection on the words used in the teaching of architectural design today, to identify a conceptual vocabulary necessary to encompass, and possibly reinvent, the various subject areas of the discipline
