LABORATORIO DI PROGETTAZIONE DEL PAESAGGIO M - Z

Learning Objectives

• ARCHITETTURA DEL PAESAGGIO

  The purpose of the Studio is to guide the student to to understand and practice the landscape project. The course aims to provide students with an operational methodology to tackle the landscape project. The aim of the course is that students acquire a project method capable of tackling different issues and topics. The landscape is understood not so much and not only as a support on which to intervene but rather as a "place of relationships in which each part is not comprehensible if not in relation to a whole that is in turn integrated into a larger whole". These concepts will be developed trough lectures and design exercises. A final design essay will be the moment of synthesis and verification of the proposed Studio.
  According to the Dublin Descriptors (DdD), passing the exam certifies the acquisition of the following results:

  DdD 1 knowledge and understanding

  • knowledge of the fundamental elements of the architectural and urban composition for their use in the design process for the transformation of places.

  DdD 2 ability to apply knowledge and understanding

  • ability to control the construction tools and the compositional aspects of the project, its typological and functional characteristics, which regulate the qualitative relationships of the architectural forms of the space.

  DdD 3 (autonomy of judgment), 4 (communication skills) and 5 (learning ability)

  • ability to operate and communicate independently the design choices made (DdD 3, 4 and 5).
• PROGETTAZIONE DEL TERRITORIO

  The territorial design module aims to provide students with tools, methods and concepts in the field of urban and regional planning.

Course Structure

• ARCHITETTURA DEL PAESAGGIO

  The teaching will take place with ex cathedra lessons and with the development of an application project on a study area.

• PROGETTAZIONE DEL TERRITORIO

  The course is structured in lectures and workshop.

Detailed Course Content

• ARCHITETTURA DEL PAESAGGIO

  In the first month we will proceed to a basic preparation on the fundamentals of the landscape project through lessons and elementary exercises. In the following months a final project will be elaborated which, starting from the hypotheses illustrated above, proposes a strategy, defines some scenarios, and the elements of a coherent conceptualization developing measured and technically controlled project actions. By strategy we mean the predisposition of some inter-related moves also belonging to different levels of reflection; by scenario we mean the formulation of hypotheses on future transformations and their possible consequences; by conceptualization we mean an effort of abstraction which, coming out from a logic of problem solving, evaluates the general implications of the issues addressed; project actions mean the representation on an appropriate scale of interventions that modify the physical state of the places. Strategy, scenarios, conceptualizations and actions are not to be understood as operations aligned within a deductive process: although it may be useful to question some possible scenarios before designing specific actions, the different operations maintain considerable independence, while evaluating the relationships established between the various operations and hypotheses; each of them requires to choose within different types of descriptions and surveys, within different forms of representation and the use of different scales: as a whole these operations constitute the landscape project.

• PROGETTAZIONE DEL TERRITORIO

  Students are shown the development of concepts such as landscape and territory and they are provided with landscape planning tools. The module is organized into lectures, seminars, classroom exercises and group-based activities and on landscape design on the project area.
