Landscape Architecture

With reference to the planning, design, implementation and management in operating phase of interventions of integrated design in consolidated areas of the city according to a perspective of urban sustainability due to integrated Principles of Green City the thematic module is intended to propose the characters, the finalities, the multidimensional relations and multi -disciplinary among the value judgments, aimed at estimating the economic value of the tangible and intangible assets included in these interventions, and the judgment of choice, thesis to select among various alternatives, that of greater economic convenience. Taking into account that any convenience judgment is preceded by a value judgment the interventions on the landscape due to the integrated Principles of Green City that include actions of urban forestry encourage the transformation processes in optical of urban sustainability, in the light of the plural multidimensional effects produced by them in the form of eco-systemic services in degree of benefit related to the protection and increase in the consistency of the existing vegetation, the economic growth of the territory and to the psycho-physical well-being of citizens. DESCRITTORI DI DUBLINO Knowledge and understanding At the conclusion of the module the student should have acquired knowledge and comprehension skills as well as the skill that allow to support under the theoretical -methodological profile, the appraisal and evaluation aspects to consider in integrated design interventions of the landscape in optical of urban sustainability according the integrated Principles of Green City. The student must have acquired adequate and specific knowledge of the tools, procedures and operational mechanisms that enable him to respond to the evaluation questions posed by public and private subjects in the management of landscape interventions set and to be carried out with the aim of creating a ecosystem services system that generate positive environmental, social and economic effects. In particular, in the integrated planning of the landscape with a view to urban sustainability according to the integrated principles of the Green City, the student must be able to identify decision nodes and evaluation procedures so that public and private operators can make rational choices. The verification of the knowledge will be made through tests and exercises ongoing and the test (final) exam proper. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding At the end of the course the student must demonstrate mastery in the theoretical and operational approaches that allow to express value and convenience judgments and those analytical-projects useful for the finalization of knowledge and understanding skills acquired, to solve even complex problems related to the management of the different phases of the process related to landscape design. In particular, the student must be able to respond to the estimative and evaluative questions that arise in the management of activities related to interventions on the landscape set according to eco-systemic logics, in which the presence of urban forestry actions are able to cause benefits related to the protection and growth of existing vegetation, the economic growth of the territory and the psycho-physical well-being of citizens using the methods, techniques, tools, procedures, operational mechanisms acquired. These skills will be acquired through frontal and seminar teaching activities, to be carried out in the classroom or at home, referring to concrete cases / experiences, aimed at developing the individual and group approach to application and professional problems. The verification of the knowledge will be carried out, moreover, through the exam test proper and through tests ongoing. Autonomy of judgment. At the end of the course the student must demonstrate the ability to acquire knowledge and experience, to examine and rework them for the purpose of forming an independent and original judgment. In particular, the student must demonstrate skills in autonomous and conscious management in integrating the issues related to the esteem and the evaluation, with the design ones with the aim of returning adequate solutions to the problems that may arise in the management activities of landscape design based on the integrated Green City principles that include urban forestry actions, be they public or private, or in PPP. The achievement of these critical and autonomous judgments will be acquired during the frontal and seminar teaching activities. The verification of the knowledge will be carried out, moreover, through the exam test proper and through tests ongoing. Communication skills. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate, in the face of the acquisition of the operational capacity with respect to the theoretical methodological, technical and design knowledge, proper to the teaching, to be able to communicate them, in an adequate and effective way, also within the documents to be prepared in relation to the different phases and the different areas of settlement production related to landscape interventions, also using advanced and multimedia communication tools in the field of representation and in the various forms of language, verbal and written-graph. The achievement of these skills will be acquired during the course's teaching and seminar activities, which ensure full possession of the specific expressive and illustrative skills of the plan and the project. The verification of the knowledge will be carried out, moreover, through the exam test proper and through tests ongoing. Learning ability At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate a significant capacity for independent learning, which will allow him to update and continuously increase his knowledge and skills in the formulation of value and convenience judgments related to the issues related to the management processes of the landscape design. The acquisition of these skills will take place through the specific theoretical contributions given by the teacher during the course, aimed at expanding the framework of skills aimed at using methodologies, tools and even innovative applications in the field of esteem and evaluation in landscape design. and through the constant participation in the seminar activities of the Course, a dialectical field of verification of acquired knowledge, carried out within concrete cases of experimentation. The assessment of skills will take place, above all, through the exam test, structured so as to highlight the autonomy in organizing their own learning.
