With this definition, Aldo Rossi, one of the most important protagonists of the Italian architectural landscape of the second half of the twentieth century, clarified his “collective” vision of architecture, which concerns not only purely design and construction aspects, but embraces a broader social and urban dimension. Even the training of the architect, especially in the ever-increasing complexity of contemporary scenarios with which we are forced to deal, requires a somewhat “collective”, or rather collegial, approach that demands a vision of synthesis between the different disciplinary components characterizing the figure of the contemporary architect.
The works presented here –a significant selection of what was done in the courses taught during the five-year degree course in Architecture – account for precisely this approach in which the project culture, from macro to microscale, benefits from a plurality of perspectives that contemplate the different areas of knowledge: humanistic, technical-scientific and economic-organizational. Walking among the exhibition panels means embarking on a journey through the educational path that, over the five-year period, female students are called upon to undertake, addressing the themes of architectural design, drawing, architectural history, conservation and restoration, mathematics and technical physics, construction science and technology, architectural technology, appraisal, sociology, landscape design, of urban planning and land planning.
The University of Florence's single-cycle Architecture degree program has a well-established history, dating back to 1936. However, along this nearly century-long journey, it has always been able to update and adapt to professional and regulatory needs and, above all, to the cultural evolution of the world around us. A course, therefore, founded in tradition but with an eye to the future.
