COURSE ORGANIZATION Although masonry structures are no longer built, we need to understand their construction and structural behavior. This program is intended for graduate and PhD students, or practitioners, involved into building conservation and restoration, architecture history, structural design, seismic assessment, management of cultural heritage, and history of construction. The Summer School on Historic Masonry Structures is designed to bring together researchers and scholars from the different fields of structural masonry, construction history and restoration. It will be a place to share their experiences on the history, design rules construction methods and assessment tools of historic masonry structures, including vaults, domes and shells. Teaching will be in English, and it will include three main parts: course work, field-work and technical excursions. The learning programme is based on a variety of didactic approaches including lectures, research presentations by teachers and students, field-work and field trips. Being scheduled to occupy fourteen days, course work will play the main role during the summer school, in both the theorical and the practical approaches. At the end of the programme the results of the field-work campaign will be presented by the students. 10
COURSE WORK Course days will stand under a general theme and are planned to be formed by morning and afternoon sessions. Several days will end with a keynote lecture dealing with specific problems from the practical or theoretical work of one of the teachers or PhD students. The morning sessions are devoted to lectures delivered by experts in ancient masonry structures and will therefore take the form of master classes. Each lecture will last for about an hour and a half, allowing enough time for discussion. The afternoon sessions will be occupied by workshops, some of which will be exploratory and allow the students to question and develop their understanding. Others will have seminar character, with groups of students giving presentations about selected case studies in the range of the day s main theme. FIELD WORK During two field-work weeks students will be required to analyze the vaults and some selected structural elements of the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. First, students will document its actual state using traditional drawing techniques as well as a variety of instruments. The information collected will be afterwards used to analyze the structural behavior and assess the safety, detect possible defects and propose suitable remedial repairs. 11 This work will be supplemented by documentary sources to underpin the student understanding of the structural behavior of vaults.
EXCURSION DAYS Three excursion days will confront the students with different types of vaulted structures in Subiaco and its surroundings, as well as in Rome and L Aquila. These visits will be led by expert guides who will explore historic structures on site to allow students to make connections between theory/practice and the conservation of such structures. Monastero Di S. Benedetto Rocca di Subiaco Subiaco The Roman archaeological complex at Tivoli Villa Adriana Roman masonry domes Rome Restoration construction sites after the effects of earthquakes L Aquila GUEST LECTURES Course work, field work and excursion days, as the basic instruments of the Summer School, will be supplemented by guest lectures by renowned experts on the field of structural analysis and practice of engineering historic structures. CREDIT SYSTEM Due to the different study plans of the universities and the intention to invite students from various fields of studies, the participation in the Summer School will be crediting with a total of 90 credit hours. Each attendant will be awarded a Certificate for participation at the programme, collaboration in the field work and its documentation, carried out during the course, and passing an oral exam at the end of the Summer School. 12

LOCATION AND ACCOMMODATIONS The Summer School on Historic Masonry Structures 2018 will take place at the Monastery of Santa Scholastica, just outside the town of Subiaco in the Province of Rome, Italy. Monastero Santa Scolastica: Piazzale Santa Scolastica, 1, 00028 Subiaco RM, Italy Phone: 0039-0774/82421 E-mail: monastero@benedettini-subiaco.org HOW TO GET TO THE MONASTERY 27 By car By public transportation From the A24 Rome - L'Aquila exit Vicovaro-Mandela, continue to Subiaco, (23 Km) cross the village and take the road on the left that leads to Jenne, after about 1,500 meters on the left you will find the gate of the Foresteria. From Rome's Ponte Mammolo Station there are buses to Subiaco almost every hour. The terminus is about 3 km from the Monastery. Bus company: Cotral. Cotral Timetable at cotralspa.it and 0039077485526.
ACCOMMODATIONS LODGING & MEALS. LECTURES & FIELD WORK The monastery of St. Scholastica rises up just a short distance from the Sacro Speco, at the foot of Mount Taleo. The current form of the monastery is the result of many layers and many styles that have built up on the original Benedictine foundation. Foresteria Accommodations and meals are arranged in the main building of the Foresteria, located 30 meters walking from the Monastery.
