– theory, history … restoration
– urbanism
– techique (economics)
– design (artistic)

– seismologists, sociologists
– engineers (civil, industrial …)

Multidisciplinarity
multidisciplinary approach = a programmed approach
from the point of view of more disciplines. The study object
is regarded separately by each discipline and so each
discipline draws out its own conclusions. Finally the
conclusion is compiled by the leader of the research group.

Interdisciplinarity
interdisciplinary approach = an approach where the
researchers looking to the study object have been trained about
the way of approach and the vocabulary of the disciplines with
which they collaborate. The programme exists thus before the
approach to the problem. The result is an unique conclusion,
where the components originating from a discipline or another
cannot be distinguished anymore.

Transdisciplinarity
transdisciplinary approach (not recommended) = an
approach where the on in researcher has got habits from
different fields (through supperposition through PhD or
advanced studies of different formations or through
formation in schools with transdisciplinary specific)

Mobility experience (I)
a first grant during the architecture and urbanism studies at the architecture Institute “Ion Mincu” in Romania, to fullfill the mobility schedule of the JEP-9688/95 in the frame of the TEMPUS programme for the academic year 1995-96 (7 months) at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Karlsruhe (TH), Germany
MCFA ItalyMeeting
Pisa, 2005
Mobility experience (II)
a Marie Curie Host Fellowship of the European Commission, within the frame IHP (Improving Human Potential), Grant Category B20, contract number HPMT-CT-2001-00359, for a research training project as integral part of the doctoral studies at the University of Karlsruhe for a stay at the European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk at the University of Pavia, Italy
MCFA ItalyMeeting
Pisa, 2005
Mobility experience (III)
a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship of the European Commission, within the frame of the Intra-European Fellowships, contract number MEIF-CT-2005-009765, for a two years project to be carried out at the European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk at the University of Pavia, Italy

MCFA ItalyMeeting
Pisa, 2005 Nr. Objective Interest groups
1 - advance in earthquake engineering
- improving understanding of earthquake impact on the physical,
social, economic and cultural environment
- developing comprehensive measures for preventing earthquake loss
Multidisciplinary
2 an algorithm for optimisation of retrofit measures -
3 decentralised decision model for actors involved from:
- geophysics (engineering seismology)
- (structural) engineering
- economy (investment efficiency)
- sociology (consideration of user issues)
Interdisciplinary
4 ? applicability of retrofit methods which reduce demand (active
devices on frame braces)
Interdisciplinary
architecture
engineering
5 framework for integral planning (economic and engineering aspects
regarded from incipient planning phases)
Interdisciplinary
architecture
engineering
economics
6 solving contradictions between the objectives of single actors in the
retrofit implementation strategy through decision system
customisation
Multidisciplinary
7 comprehensibility of the measures analysed: inclusion into the
integral planning scheme near the flow in the physical
implementation of the retrofit system of a flow for the education of
the population which has to support the measures (spread from pilot
projects to ‘routine’ wide ones)
architecture
urbanism
sociology
8 investigation of the support possibilities by political and economic
environment: existing programmes

Current project

Conclusions
Definition of the profession of architect
– like a sculptor (autonomous architecture)
– like a moderator / intermediary between different fields (participative architecture)
„the architect knows nothing about everything and the engineer everything about nothing“ = the systemist and the specialist
