LABORATORIO DI PROGETTAZIONE DEL PAESAGGIO A - L

Learning Objectives

• Landscape design

  The learning objectives of the course are to guide the student to the comprehension and to the practice of the landscape design. The course proposes to provide to the students a critic methodology in order to face the problems of the landscape architecture, recognizing its characteristic multi-scalability.

  Qualifications that signify completion of the second cycle are awarded to students who:

   

  1.have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon and extends and/or enhances that typically associated with the first cycle, and that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context;

  2.can apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study;

  3.have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments;

  4.can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously;

  1. have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely selfdirected or autonomous.
• Landscape Design and Planning

  The laboratory aim is understanding the relational nature of landscape design. The content will be referred non only to areas around urban settlements but also to “inner areas”, far from urban settlements and services but rich in cultural and natural heritage. Students will interpret the landscape of an area that is part of the 1669 lava flow of Mount Etna and design it according to the principles of ecomuseums.

Course Structure

• Landscape design

  The course's activities are articulated into lessons ex cathedra and in a project application on a studio area.

  The course teaching will ends, then, in a Landscape Design International Workshop. The workshop would elaborate on some design solution, from the wide area to the architectural scale, in order to answer to contemporary main problems in the hyblaean city of Palazzolo Acreide and its territory: 1) the renewal of the landscape and architectonical heritage of the countryside; 2) the project solving of the marginality problems into the relationship between sprwling city and countryside, as well as between city, archaeological sites and territories; 3) the permeability of the historical center of Palazzolo Acreide, of its destiny in the contemporary and of the renewal of the archaeological and architectural city's heritage. The works on the workshop's projects will be developed into students teams.

  Workshop duration: 6 days (including the opening day and the final presentation and exposition's day with the mayor and the citizens).

Detailed Course Content

• Landscape design

  The course's main content is about the integration of reflections, methods and disciplinary instruments in the scope of the landscape design, particulary related to the Val di Noto and to the landscape of the Hyblean limestone highlands, with the "builted nature" palinsesto of the country lands and their historical settlements. Thanks to the monographic lessons it will shared with the students a panoramic view of the historical meaning of landscape and of the interpretative declinations related. Moreover, it will experiment within the projects the disciplinary instruments that permit to relate landscape with historical and present lands transformation dynamics. With an analitical-project approach experiment, focused on the knoledge of the multiple landscape characters, referred to the Convenzione Europea del Paesaggio contents, the final aim will be to adquire the following skills:

  to be able to analyze an to understand the complexity of the landscape system;

  to be able to coordinate the several project elements in to the different project scales;

  to be able to integrate the landscape characteristics and problems into the project of architetcure.

• Landscape Design and Planning

  The main content of the course in territorial planning concerns the integration of considerations, methods and instruments in the field of metropolitan area planning, with reference both to peri-urban areas and internal areas, that is those areas considerably distant from centres of essential services provision (such as instruction, health and mobility) areas rich with environmental and cultural resources and highly diverse as a result of the centuries-old impact of human activity.
  
  Students will be given an overall scheme of the concepts of “territory" and "landscape" and of the equipment concerning landscape planning, with reference to new paradigms and international framework.
  
  In order to experiment a planning approach aimed at the control and management of a compatible and integrated territory development, following the European Landscape Conventions’s directions, the final aim will be the acquisition of the following competences:
  
  -reading and comprehension of the landscape system; coordination of the various elements of the project (to the different scales?) ; conduction of a planning iter of open spaces, gardens and parks; integration of problems concerning landscape into the architectural project.
