// intro
The present programme builds on the LIVING WITH EARTHQUAKES conference held in Cambridge in October 2017, which discussed the earthquakes that affected the Appennine regions, causing widespread destruction and damage to cultural heritage.
This summer school is therefore part of a wider research initiative, involving a dialogue between the SCIENCES (Seismic Engineering, Geotechnics, Construction) and the HUMANITIES (Philosophy, Sociology, Architecture and Urban Studies, History of Art and Architecture.
The new programme is based on the successful experience of the 2018 edition held in Amandola and takes advantage of the surveys and design proposals produced and presented in the final exhibition on 1st August 2018.
// aims and strategies
Advanced Master students and PhD candidates in landscape architecture and planning, architectural and urban design, engineering, architectural and art history, and philosophy will be based in Falerone and will make a comparative study of three hill towns in the province of Fermo: FALERONE, AMANDOLA and MONTEFORTINO. The town of SERVIGLIANO will act as hosting place for seminars and meetings.
Field studies and teaching will include:
_understanding the urban landscape ;
_understanding the value of the tangible and intangible heritage;
_principles and problems in the conservation of historic fabric;
_the use of archival material in preparing design appraisals and reports.
PARTICIPANTS WILL DESIGN PROPOSALS FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THREE CENTRAL AREAS
in the towns of Falerone, Montefortino and Servigliano.
A FINAL EXHIBITION organised in Servigliano will give the opportunity to present the first results to the local populations.

PAST EDITIONS
2018 - edition
A Summer school under the title of The Culture of the City has been in operation since 2014, based in Ancona, and involving five European universities. It studied in particular the lost relationship of the contemporary city with the historical centre and with the sea and drew upon the long tradition of the study-tour by artists and architects inspired by the historical city.
The present programme builds on the LIVING with EARTHQUAKES conference held in Cambridge in 24-25 October 2017, which discussed the recent earthquakes that affected the Appennine regions, causing widespread destruction and damage to cultural heritage.
This Summer School is therefore part of a wider research initiative, involving a dialogue between the Sciences (Seismic Engineering, Geotechnics, Construction,
Material Sciences) and the Humanities (Philosophy, Sociology, Architecture and Urban Studies, History of Art and Architecture, Geography, and Media and
Communication).
The disciplines of architecture, engineering and art history will each have their own programmes, but they will come together for evening lectures, field trips, the project work, and the resulting exhibition and publication.

Aims and strategies
A group of architects, engineers and art historians will be based at Amandola. Project work will focus on securing the future of the monastery of San Francesco, damaged in recent earthquakes.
Field studies will include a visit to nearby Ascoli Piceno, and teaching will include:
• understanding seismic activity and how to mitigate its consequences
• principles and problems in the conservation of historic fabric
• the use of archival material in preparing design appraisals and reports and graduate.
Students will be given the opportunity to present their research for critical review.
