Ses projets d’universités à Urbino, Dublin, Pavie ou Catane, qu’ils aient ou non été réalisés, sont les plus représentatifs de sa carrière. Ce type de programme lui permet d’articuler son intérêt pour le logement avec sa réflexion sur le grand territoire. Ses expérimentations structurelles peuvent dans les bâtiments universitaires se conjuguer avec l’attention qu’il porte pour à la ville historique, son tissu urbain, ses matériaux, son rapport au paysage. Le cas d’Urbino où ses interventions pour le compte de l’université s’étalent sur un demi siècle entre 1952 et 2001, permet d’observer l’évolution de sa façon de concevoir les lieux d’enseignement. Il enseigne par ailleurs à Urbino où se tiennent les premières sessions des International Laboratories of Architecture and Urban Studies (ILAUD) de 1976 à 1981. L’objectif de cette communication est de montrer comment une synergie se met peu à peu en place entre le territoire des Marches et l’enseignement qui s’y développe. Si dans les années 60, l’institution universitaire est vue comme une opportunité pour redonner vie à une région déprimée économiquement, les qualités spatiales et l’isolement d’Urbino deviennent à la fin des années 70 un atout pour repenser l’enseignement de l’architecture. Les projets réalisés sur place par des étudiants en architecture provenant de différent pays permettent de tester des propositions d’extensions de l’université d’Urbino et d’amorcer une concertation avec la population et les instances universitaires. Entre ces deux moments, le mouvement étudiant de 1968, dans lequel Giancarlo de Carlo a pris position rejetant radicalement l’université de masse telle qu’elle commence alors à se mettre en place.

L'analyse de ce processus permet d'entrer dans les dynamiques d'un important chantier parisien de la premiere decennie du XVIe siecle. Comment la gestion de la crise generee par cette catastrophe influence-t-elle l'organisation spatiale et humaine du chantier ? Deux problematiques decoulent du reemploi de ce volume important de gravats. Ou stocker les materiaux et comment les transporter ? Le Bureau de la ville de Paris decide de delocaliser le chantier sur differents sites situes en bord de Seine et les marchands parisiens acquierent cinq bateaux pour transporter les materiaux et les ouvriers. Cette organisation facilite le controle du chantier par l'autorite royale qui finance indirectement les travaux. Le Roi Louis XII veille grâce a ses representants a Paris dont le « deviseur de bâtiments » italien Fra Giocondo, a ce qu'une telle catastrophe ne se reproduise pas.

Many elements from the old bridge's wooden structure were reclaimed during these works. I wish to analyze this process of reutilization in order to understand the organization of the most important Parisian building at the beginning of 16th century. The management of this disaster had consequences on the spatial and human organization of the building site. Two problems ensue from the reuse of such an important volume of rubble. Where are these materials to be stocked and how could they be moved? The city council decided to organize the works on various building sites located around the Seine river banks. It bought five boats for the transportation of both materials and workers. This organization made easier the control of the building sites by the king who indirectly financed the works. King Louis XII sent to Paris the Italian « building advisor » Fra Giocondo to ensure that such a disaster never happen again.

Il contesto amministrativo di tali discussioni e il profilo professionale degli attori che vi partecipano saranno descritti allo scopo di mettere in luce le ragioni dell’autorevolezza di coloro che esaminano l’opera, siano essi architetti o meno. Una presentazione generale sul tema delle perizie di fabbrica in epoca moderna, centrata su Parigi e Venezia sarà proposta dagli organizzatori del convegno. Si ricercano casi studio localizzati nelle principali province del reame francese e nei vari Stati italiani tra Sei e Settecento. La proposta, di una pagina circa, indicherà l’edificio preso in esame, la documentazione archivistica consultata e i principali riferimenti bibliografici. La scadenza per le proposte è fissata il 20 gennaio 2019. Le comunicazioni e gli articoli per gli atti che seguiranno il convegno potranno liberamente essere redatti in francese, italiano o inglese.

Hommes et travail du métal dans les villes médiévales : 35 ans après, 2019

thanks to specialized craftsmen, the 'piombers', in charge of the maintenance of the Ducal Palace and Saint Mark's basilica roofs since the XIVth century. The metallic production in Veneto has been subject of numerous studies about the mining techniques, the metal trade, and the transformation craft operation.
Philippe Braunstein's studies have especially highlighted the control of the State on Alpine Valley underground richnesses and the certification processes for copper. This administrative frame is associated with some treaties writing like the Pirotechnia by Vanoccio Biringuccio, printed in Venice in 1540.
The aim of this presentation is to read this rich bibliography with regards to the roofs of four emblematic monuments : the Venice Ducal Palace, the Padova Palazzo della Ragione, the Vicence Basilica and the Brescia Loge. Archeometallurgical surveys related to roofs are yet rare in Italy but several observations have been realized during the restoration campaigns these four buildings underwent since 2000.
Deliberations and accounts registers are moreover conserved since the end of XVth century in Venice and Vicenza. They reveal the versatile use of lead and copper at the top of the related buildings, an element confirmed by iconography in the case of Vicence.
The big fires which damaged one after the other the Venice Ducal Palace (1574 and 1577) and the Brescia Loge (1575) are important moments of debates about the opportunity to use one material or the other for the roof. Ductile, the lead is lain in 3 or 4 mm plates ; the copper much more expensive can be used in thinner sheets but is rigid and brittle. To prevent any new devastation of the Ducal Palace due to the lead melting in case of fire, a copper roof is rebuilt after 1577's fire but it is decided to go back to lead thirty years later due to faulty work.

His projects – built and unbuilt – at the universities of Urbino, Dublin, Pavia and Catania are the most representative of his career. This type of programme permitted him to link his interest in housing with his reflections on the wider region. University buildings offered him the opportunity to combine his structural experiments with the attention that he paid to the historic city, its urban fabric, its materials and its relationship with the landscape. The example of Urbino, where his interventions on behalf of the university stretched over half a century between 1952 and 2001, demonstrates the evolution of his approach to designing places of learning. He also taught in Urbino where the first sessions of the International Laboratories of Architecture and Urban Studies (ILAUD) were held between 1976 and 1981.
The objective of this paper is to show how a synergy gradually emerged between the Marche Region and the teaching that developed there. If the institution of the university is seen in the 1960s as an opportunity to restore life to an economically deprived region, in the late 1970s the spatial qualities and isolation of Urbino are an asset in the attempt to reinvent architectural teaching. The projects realised there by architecture students from a range of countries made it possible to test proposals for expanding the University of Urbino and to initiate a dialogue with the population and the university authorities. Between these two periods came the student movement of 1968, in which Giancarlo de Carlo took the radical position of rejecting the mass university of the sort that was emerging at the time.
