LABORATORIO DI PROGETTAZIONE DEL PAESAGGIO M - Z

Learning Objectives

• Landscape architecture

  Architecture as a necessary act for man to "inhabit". According to this assumption, the course proposes and develops a reflection on the concept of "landscape" as a result of man's action towards to give life to the territory in which he has decided to settle. The area of the "Val di Noto" offers precious inspiration for the study proposed. The clear running of a small town and the close relationship with geographical factors, the territorial structure consisting of natural and artificial palimpsest, the climate as well as economic and social conditions, simply and directly express certain basic phenomena of the settlement process arising in the territory. The aim of the laboratory is to acquire the design tools to operate in continuity with the settlement practices traditionally adopted over time for that area.

• 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 architecture

  The teaching will be carried out with ex cathedra lessons in the classroom and on-site surveys, with the development of a project on a study area, which will be identified in agreement between teacher and student. Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.

• 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 architecture

  The main content of the Landscape Architecture module concerns the integration of the reflections, methods and disciplinary tools within the Landscape project, with particular reference to the territory of Val di Noto and to the territorial-landscape system of the Ibleo planking.

• 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
