Abstract

During the two academic years 2021-22 and 2022-23, the students and teachers of the Heritage Preservation Studio Design of the Master in Architecture-Restoration of the Roma Tre University’s Department of Architecture were able to have access to palazzo Nardini, which is currently closed to the public. This opportunity was made possible thanks to the willingness of the current owner and the designers in charge of the restoration. The on-site experience brought together different skills among architects and architectural historians and encouraged experimentation with different methodological approaches. On the one hand, the interdisciplinary working group focused on the study and evaluation of various hypotheses regarding the history of the building, some of which had already been proposed in the literature. This analysis made it possible to study ex novo the processes of the block formation in the broader framework of the evolutionary urban context of Rome, with particular attention to the area of Campo Marzio Occidentale. On the other hand, in addition to the conservation of the palimpsest, the students’ projects considered several hypotheses for the restoration of the original arrangements, now erased. Among others, it’s worth mentioning the elimination of the nineteenth-century staircase (which radically alters the original layout of the complex and its typological structure), and the reproduction of some XV-XVI century finishes (of which only a few traces have survived on the south-eastern side of the main courtyard). In conclusion, this was an opportunity for the teachers and students to question the role that an operative philology can still play today in the field of architectural restoration, how it differs from its more accomplished nineteenth-century expressions, and how much and how it can still contribute to identifying the autonomy of the architectural preservation project.
