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.
• Regional Planning

  The objective of the Laboratory is to make people understand the relational character of the landscape project: to decipher the relationships of every order between the nature organized in the space and the settled societies.
  Designing the landscape is therefore observing, interpreting, sewing and stitching, establishing dialogues, with the freedom to make continuous steps of scale, favoring the integration between the reflections matured. at different viewing distances.

  The landscape key applied to the so-called "inner areas" helps to imagine and plan the new relationship between the human environment and the natural environment. In this way, a decisive contribution is made to the country's ecological transition, a primary objective after the Covid-19 pandemic.

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).

• Regional Planning

  The teaching is carried out with frontal lessons and laboratory lessons with elaboration of the cards according to the standard of OVPE - Virtual Observatory of the European Landscape.

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.

• Regional Planning

  The main content of the planning module concerns the integration of reflections, methods and tools in the field of regional planning, with reference to both peri-urban areas and "inner areas", i.e. those "areas that are significantly distant from the centers offering essential services (education, health and mobility), rich in important environmental and cultural resources and highly diversified in nature and as a result of secular processes of anthropization".
  Students are provided with a picture of the evolution of the concepts of territory and landscape and of the instrumentation related to landscape planning with references to the new paradigms and to the
  international framework.
  With the intention of experimenting a project approach aimed at the control and management of compatible and integrated development of the territory, keeping in mind the indications of the European Landscape Convention, the final objective will be to acquire the following skills:
  - ability to read and understand the landscape system;

  - ability to coordinate the various elements of the project at different scales;

  - ability to conduct a design process of open spaces, gardens and parks;

  ability to integrate landscape issues within the architectural project.

  It is expected the reading of a territorial area disaggregated into natural and anthropic system, the elaboration of an evaluation framework of synthesis, the elaboration of the sheets of an Observatory.
  Virtual Landscape according to the international standard set by the relevant European research program
