Architecture

The Course is divided into theoretical lessons and laboratory design activities. The theoretical lessons are divided into three sections: 1. key concepts: In this section, some significant themes and issues of the cultural debate on landscape and landscape design will be addressed, in their historical evolution and contemporary relevance. These concepts are useful for developing shared references for all students, in particular regarding: landscape design for sustainability (climate, biodiversity and inclusion); the urban ecosystem (ecological performance of urban green spaces); 2. tools: In this section, the basic tools necessary for the analysis and interpretation of landscapes, for understanding their functioning and for recognizing specificities and differences will be provided through a transdisciplinary approach capable of dealing with physical and social space. This section aims to allow each student to develop their own specific toolkit, essential for critical reading and landscape design, through lectures and specific exercises relating to: water; soil; vegetation; permeable spaces students are provided with a detailed survey sheet, commented and described by the teacher as a reference for the investigation phases 3: design references: in this section, significant historical and contemporary projects will be discussed and analyzed through lessons dedicated to landscape designers from different historical periods including Federick Law Olmsted, Roberto Burle Marx, Maria Teresa Parpagliolo) The laboratory activities consist of collective and guided inspections in the study area; seminars aimed at understanding the problems and potential of the study area; collective and individual reviews of the students' work in progress. In particular, students are required to perform the following elaborations: 1. Analysis and evaluations (in a group of maximum 2 people) 2. Masterplan (in a group of maximum 2 people) 3. Design insights (individual)

The Landscape Design Course does not require any particular prerequisites,

Attendance is mandatory for 70% of lessons

The intermediate learning tests consist of periodic and collective reviews of the project documents in progress. The final certificate of achievement will verify the ability of the students to check the topics covered in the course and to critically present the results of the investigations and evaluations relating to the area of study, the coherence of the project proposals through graphic documents and any video presentations.

The Course is divided into theoretical lessons and laboratory design activities. the theoretical lessons are held in the classroom with the help of video and power point presentations, and collective final discussion the laboratory activities include guided collective inspections in the study area and collective and individual revisions in the classroom
