Learning objectives
Aims
The main goal of the course is to provide basic archival and bibliographic tools to analyse and understand both historical documents and historiographic books (1st Dublin descriptor).
In order to reach that aim multiple approaches and diverse methods of analysis must be applied, being aware of respecting unity of history (2nd descriptor).
Purpose of the course is to give to the students:
- the knowledge they will use as a "platform" to achieve a mature and personal critical judgment (3rd descriptor);
- the correct disciplinary terminology to use (4th descriptor);
- the autonomy in exploring and connecting bibliographic and documentary information in order to reconstruct the complexity of an architectural case (5th descriptor).

Course unit content
Course content
Objective of students, at their last year, is to go back to the historical disciplines so they can refine their tools of critical analysis and of historiographic synthesis.
So, they will be more confident drafting their final dissertation and they will be more conscious in the exercise of their profession.
The lecture intends to offer critical and operational tools for archival and bibliographic research in the historical and architectural context.

Assessment methods and criteria
Tests
Oral examination. The first questions will verify the level of students’ knowledge regarding each part of the program (1st Dublin descriptor) and how they can connect them (2nd descriptor).
The second group of questions will assess:
- how much autonomous it will become the judgment of each student (3rd descriptor);
- how adequately the students will assimilate and will make theirs the disciplinary terminology (4th descriptor);
- how much autonomous and original the students will become in connecting phenomena and in decoding the complexity of architecture through bibliographic and archival research (5th descriptor).
