Research Area

Luigi Stendardo has been carrying on research projects in the field of ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN DESIGN, working across an ever-expanding trans-disciplinary National and International network, and leading RELOAD_Research Lab of ArchitectURban Design, DICEA-UniPD.

[http://www.dicea.unipd.it/en/reload]

CONTEMPORARY TERRITORIAL, LANDSCAPE, AND URBAN TRANSFORMATION make the core of his research interests, with a focus on the relationship between URBAN DESIGN, PUBLIC SPACE, UNACKNOWLEDGED LANDSCAPE AND URBAN FORM, as well as INFRASTRUCTURE, URBAN MINING and CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

On these topics he had led, as Principal Investigator, or joined several research projects, such as: iWrecks - Industrial Wrecks: Reusing Enhancing aCKnowledging Sheds, POR FSE 2014-2020, 2018-2019, P.I., UniPD (Leader Unit) with IUAV and Universidade de Lisboa; DATA - Developing Abandoned Transurban Areas, POR FSE 2014-2020, 2017-2018, P.I., UniPD; Il progetto della forma del territorio contemporaneo.

Furthermore, he has been developing research projects about ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION, with a focus on disciplinary THEORIES and TECHNIQUES, and in-depth studies on the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND CONTRUCTION. His research extends into the field of the relationship between CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN DESIGN and the PRESERVATION OF ANCIENT AND MODERN BUILT HERITAGE.

Also on these topics he has carried out trans-disciplinary studies, within several research projects, such as: Tu-CULT - Il turismo culturale non conosce crisi: strategie innovative di recupero, conservazione e accessibilità multilivello del bene artistico-architettonico per il miglioramento della fruizione intelligente POR FSE 2014-2020, 2016, P.I., UniPD (Leader Unit) with IUAV; Metodologie per l'acquisizione, l'elaborazione e la comunicazione di dati relativi ai beni culturali e per il progetto architettonico e tecnologico di interventi atti alla loro conservazione e al miglioramento della fruizione turistico-culturale, POR FSE 2007-2013, 2014, P.I., UniPD (Leader Unit) with IUAV; La teoria dell'architettura come fondamento della disciplina del progetto, PRIN 1999, P.I.

Thesis proposals

Topics of master degree final thesis belong to professor's research area, and deal with contemporary architectural, urban, and landscape design, with a special focus on public facilities, public space, infrastructure, and aiming at the regeneration, re-use, and re-design of architecture and urban form of neglected and decayed areas.


The main design issues deal with:

- The buffer zone between historic town and sprawl
- Public facilities
- Contemporary landscape and infrastructure
- Re-cycle and re-use of disused/abandoned industrial built heritage


According to different project goals, the master dregree final thesis work will be organized in order to develop differnt trans-disciplinary interactions, such as:

- Scenarios for the transformation of urban areas
[Urban Planning - Economic Evaluation - History of City - Representation]
- Accessibility, road infrastructure and parking lots
[Urban Planning - Roads Design - Structural Design - Representation]
- Public building design
[Structural Design - Architectural Technologies - M.E.P. - Representation]
- Public space and urban landscape design
[Landscape - Urban Planning - Geotechnics - Representation]
- Re-cycle of industrial estate and housing design
[Structural Design - Architectural Technologies - History of Architecture - Representation]
