Saperi sempre più complessi, nuove tecnologie, conoscenze prodotte su scala globale devono avere ricadute alla scala locale, per essere veramente efficaci. In questo scenario il ruolo dell’università è quello di tradurre in termini conoscitivi e pratici questo passaggio, coniugando obiettivi didattici e formativi al trasferimento delle conoscenze sul territorio, tipico della terza missione, proponendo insegnamenti “sul campo”.Questo approccio è stato adottato negli ultimi anni nell’insegnamento di Tecnica Urbanistica presso il Corsi di Laurea a ciclo unico in Ingegneria Edile Architettura dell’università di Bologna dove, nell’a.a. 2019/2020, è stato proposto agli studenti di misurarsi con un caso reale legato al processo di redazione del nuovo Piano Urbanistico Generale del Comune di Castelfranco Emilia (MO). In modo del tutto imprevisto, il processo conoscitivo e progettuale inizialmente impostato ha dovuto misurarsi con la pandemia di Covid-19. L’emergenza sanitaria ha imposto limitazioni e delineato nuove sfide, ma al contempo ha consentito – sia agli studenti, sia ai tecnici comunali – di esplorare le opportunità offerte dalle risorse digitali disponibili e dagli strumenti di navigazione panoramica all’interno del tessuto costruito, che hanno reso evidenti potenzialità finora solo parzialmente esplorate. Il contributo intende quindi illustrare attraverso un caso applicativo come la digitalizzazione delle informazioni e le nuove metodologie didattiche per l’insegnamento della tecnica urbanistica possano contribuire ad un’attenta e puntuale conoscenza del contesto insediativo urbano alla base della definizione di politiche di riuso e di rigenerazione urbana.

Un’esperienza di didattica “sul campo” al tempo del Covid-19

Abstract

Increasingly complex knowledge, new technologies, global-scale know-how needs to be translated on the local scale, to be truly effective. In this scenario, the role of the university is to codify this path into cognitive and practical terms, combining educational and training objectives with the knowledge transfer at the local level, as part of the third mission, by offering field-based learning. This approach has been adopted in recent years in the Urban Planning Techniques courses held within the Unique Cycle Master degree in Building Engineering and Architecture at the University of Bologna where, in the a.y. 2019/2020, it was proposed to students to measure themselves on a real case study such as the drafting process of the new General Urban Plan of the Municipality of Castelfranco Emilia (MO). However, the ongoing unexpected Covid-19 pandemic has challenged the teaching and planning process. It has imposed limitations and outlined new challenges, but at the same time it has allowed - both students and civil servants - to explore the opportunities offered by the digital resources available and by the panoramic navigation tools within the built environment, which have revealed some key potentials that so far have been only partially explored. Therefore, this paper intends to show, through a real case application, how the digitization of information and the new methodologies for teaching urban planning techniques can contribute to improve the accuracy of the knowledge available at the micro/ building scale, which is at the basis of the definition of tailored regeneration practices.
