(English below) Il 23 maggio 2023, presso il Department of Architectural Engineering della Al-Quds University di Gerusalemme, si è tenuta la presentazione finale dei risultati prodotti dal corso di “Documentation of Historical Buildings”, sviluppato nella partnership del progetto europeo Marie Curie “MOEBHIOS – Multi-attribute values’ OntologiEs to improve Built Heritage InformatiOn assessment in cluStered territories“.
Il corso, tenuto dalla prof.ssa Yara Saifi (Al-Quds University) e dalla Dr. Raffaella De Marco (University of Pavia) per gli studenti del corso di laurea in Architectural Engineering della Al-Quds University, si è concentrato sulla didattica di metodi per la documentazione, rappresentazione e indagine descrittiva degli edifici storici e tradizionali palestinesi. Tecniche di documentazione digitale, fotografica e fotogrammetria 3D sono state trasmesse dall’esperienza maturata presso il laboratorio DAda-LAB del DICAr Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Architettura dell’Università di Pavia. Tali strategie digitali sono state combinate alla ricerca archivistica, di fonti storiche e di raccolta di storytelling e interviste della comunità, attraverso la ricerca condotta dal Department of Architectural Engineering della Al-Quds University, per ricostruire caratteri architettonici tipologici e storie di trasformazione del territorio della Palestina attraverso l’architettura locale.
Il tema d’anno si è concentrato su “Architectural Modernity in Palestine: relating historical development and social memories to building typologies”, documentando il patrimonio architettonico dal 1948 agli anni ’60-’70 delle principali arterie urbane nelle città di Gerusalemme, Hebron/Al-Khalil, Betlemme, Ramallah, Nablus e Jericho. Gli studenti coinvolti nel corso e autori degli elaborati prodotti sono: Ruba Abu-Gheith, Diala Al-Lahham, Abdallah Al-Shamali, Tasneem Abdelal, Rahaf Ahmad, Moddar Alkhateb, Amera Asad, Sara Barakat, Zainab Jamous, Meron Nasser, Sara Owainah, Alaa Owdetallah, Hamza Owesat, Yumna Shelbaya, Muath Siam, Mariam Sowan, Fatima Ziaghab.
La collaborazione didattica rappresenta un’importante azione all’interno del progetto Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Post-doctoral Global Fellowship “MOEBHIOS” (project number 101064433), assegnato alla Dott.ssa Raffaella De Marco da bando competitivo europeo, con coordinamento dell’Università di Pavia, per finanziare un percorso di crescita scientifica e mobilità internazionale nella sua carriera di giovane ricercatrice.
Il progetto, attivo dal 2022 al 2025, prevede una collaborazione tra le Università di Pavia (Italia), Al-Quds University (Palestina) e European University Viadrina (Germania) incentrato sul values assessment e sviluppo di Information Systems per la documentazione architettonica nei territori cluster, con caso studio del territorio della Palestina. Le università coinvolte, nelle figure della prof.ssa Francesca Picchio, prof.ssa Yara Saifi e prof.ssa Izabella Parowicz, svolgeranno ruolo di supervisione e mentoring, supportando un network scientifico internazionale di collaborazione e ricerca congiunta tra i partner.
Tra gli impatti del primo anno di collaborazione, è in programma una Summer School internazionale 2023 organizzata dalle 3 università di progetto, con l’espansione del network agli istituti accademici di Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE) – Portugal, Izmir Institute of Technology (IIT) – Turkey e The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) – United Kingdom.
La Summer School “VERY-M Valuing challEnges on aRchitectural tYpologies – Modernity” si terrà in autunno presso il DICAr dell’Università di Pavia, con la partecipazione di docenti e studenti internazionali, grazie al finanziamento ottenuto per bando competitivo nei programmi di International Winter e Summer School UNIPV ed Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes, cofinanziata dal programma Horizon Europe – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.

On May 23rd, 2023, the Department of Architectural Engineering of Al-Quds University in Jerusalem hosted the final presentation of the results produced by the course “Documentation of Historical Buildings”, developed in partnership with the Marie Curie European project “MOEBHIOS – Multi-attribute values’ OntologiEs to improve Built Heritage InformatiOn assessment in cluStered territories”.
The course, held by Prof. Yara Saifi (Al-Quds University) and Dr. Raffaella De Marco (University of Pavia) for students of the Architectural Engineering degree course at Al-Quds University, focused on teaching methods for the documentation, representation, and descriptive investigation of historic and traditional Palestinian buildings. Digital, photographic and 3D photogrammetric documentation techniques were transferred from the experience gained at DAda-LAB. laboratory of the DICAr Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture at the University of Pavia. These digital strategies were combined with archival research, historical sources and the collection of storytelling and community interviews, through the research conducted by the Department of Architectural Engineering at Al-Quds University, to reconstruct typological architectural features and histories of the transformation of the territory of Palestine through local architecture.
The year’s topic focused on “Architectural Modernity in Palestine: relating historical development and social memories to building typologies”, documenting the architectural heritage from 1948 to the 1960s-70s of major urban arteries in the cities of Jerusalem, Hebron/Al-Khalil, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus and Jericho. The students involved in the course and authors of the elaborates are:
Ruba Abu-Gheith, Diala Al-Lahham, Abdallah Al-Shamali, Tasneem Abdelal, Rahaf Ahmad, Moddar Alkhateb, Amera Asad, Sara Barakat, Zainab Jamous, Meron Nasser, Sara Owainah, Alaa Owdetallah, Hamza Owesat, Yumna Shelbaya, Muath Siam, Mariam Sowan, Fatima Ziaghab.
The didactic collaboration represents an important action within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Post-doctoral Global Fellowship “MOEBHIOS” project (project number 101064433), awarded to Dr. Raffaella De Marco by a European competitive call and coordinated by the University of Pavia, to finance a path of scientific growth and international mobility in her career as a young researcher.
The project, running from 2022 to 2025, envisages a collaboration between the Universities of Pavia (Italy), Al-Quds University (Palestine) and European University Viadrina (Germany) focusing on the value assessment and development of Information Systems for architectural documentation in clustered territories, with a case study of the territory of Palestine. The universities involved, in the persons of Prof. Francesca Picchio, Prof. Yara Saifi and Prof. Izabella Parowicz, will play a supervisory and mentoring role, supporting an international scientific network of collaboration and joint research between the partners.
Among the impacts of the first year of collaboration, an international Summer School 2023 organised by the 3 project universities is planned, with the expansion of the network to the academic institutions of Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE) – Portugal, Izmir Institute of Technology (IIT) – Turkey and The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) – United Kingdom.
The Summer School “VERY-M Valuing challEnges on aRchitectural tYpologies – Modernity” will be held in the autumn at the DICAr of the University of Pavia, with the participation of international lecturers and students, thanks to the funding obtained through a competitive call in the International Winter and Summer School UNIPV and Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes, co-financed by the Horizon Europe – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme.
