Initially, LaDiSA was a didactic workshop as part of the Architecture History course, attended by first-year students on the Master’s Course in Architecture and Building Engineering. The teaching activities has been progressively integrated by research, mainly in the field of contemporary architecture history.

Teaching activities

The purpose of LaDiSA is to develop the students' skills to know and analyse a contemporary architectural project, to identify its significant elements and compositional principles, by studying bibliographical references, sketching and drawing, and to create a representative three-dimensional model.

Some of the activities organised by the Architecture History courses and LaDiSA are:

  • presentations and exhibitions of students' work
  • lectures
  • studying visits
  • supplementary seminars with external guests, mainly focused on architecture photography and techniques for building three-dimensional study models.

Research activities

The most recent research projects are:

2019 - ‘National Survey of Italian Architecture from the Late Twentieth Century in the Trentino – Alto Adige Region. Update and improvement’, promoted by Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, Directorate-General for Contemporary Art and Architecture and Urban Peripheries.

2019-22 - National research project – PRIN 2017 ‘Stone pavements. History, conservation, valorisation and design’, financed by MIUR (Ministry of Education, Universities and Research), University of Trento research unit, associated investigator: prof. Raffaele Mauro.

Partnerships

LaDiSA often works in collaboration with:

  • Archivio del ‘900, Mart – Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto
  • Autonomous Province of Trento Superintendency of the Cultural Heritage, Architectural heritage Office
  • Autonomous Province of Trento Superintendency of the Cultural Heritage, Archival and book heritage Office, and Provincial archive

As part of DICAM there are several complementary activities promoted in collaboration with LAMARC, e.g. the XYdigitale publishing project.
