Abstract
In Europe, self-construction/self-renovation are innovative and additional tools to meet the needs of a part of “disadvantaged” social groups that can not buy or rent dwelling at market prices. At the end of the 90 s of the twentieth century, the Municipality of Rome has set the first trial at the national level (still not completed and remained almost unique) related to disused building self-renovation (especially school buildings). The text shows the results of a research, still ongoing, aimed at ex post evaluation of items that have prevented to conclude timely and as provided such interventions and, consequently, doesn’t meet the housing needs for which had been started.
This allows to highlight as the assessment tools, in the different phases of the development process of these initiatives, ex ante, ongoing and ex post may help to reduce the risks of “failure” of self-construction/self-renovation initiatives.

The research was developed, in part under a working relationship established with the Municipal Department for the Development of Outlying Areas, Infrastructures and Urban Maintenance of the City of Rome, as per a convention signed in December of 2014 with the Department of Architecture and Design. Some of the results of the research were illustrated in the course of an international workshop entitled, “Faced with the problem of real-estate speculation, what responses are provided by housing cooperatives in the Latin sector of Europe, meaning Italy and Spain?” (Rome. 10-11 June 2015), organised jointly by CHAIRECOOP & the LAC (Laboratoire d’Art Civique, the University of Rome, Campus III) and the Rome Tenants Union. Claudia Buccarini (during doctoral course) and Serena Sbaffoni (during the preparation of the fist level degree thesis), participated in the research collecting and processing some of the data related to self-renovation cases presented in this text.
