The ARCHER didactic path is organized around four semesters. Each of them offers an interdisciplinary design studio, focused on local territory and applied at the different scales of built heritage: architecture, historical city plan, archaeological park, landscape. The interdisciplinary design studios aim to help students understand the complexity of the architectural design for heritage and to allow them to develop skills in different disciplines. The result is an architect capable of interacting with different skills and knowledge.

Knowledge and on-site analysis are main subjects of this didactic path. The students, with a multidisciplinary and multiscale approach, are led through the design process. The subject of each design studio is chosen among the many cultural sites located in the territory and held in collaboration with the stakeholders and with the institutions for the protection and management of the Italian heritage.
