Architectural Sciences

The aim of the Course is to strengthen the knowledge already acquired in the previous Course of Fundamentals OF URBAN PLANNING/ TOWN PLANNING LEGISLATION AND TERRITORIAL GOVERNEMENT in order to fully develop the ability to define a landscape and territorial project at large area scale. Specific attention will be given to the deepening of the analytical dimensions and intervention tools related to the most relevant environmental and landscape challenges. Therefore, in the first part of the course, adequate tools for tackling this level of knowledge (also through the case-studies and projects of existing territories) will be provided. In the second part, students will do design practice by using the acquired knowledge for designing and developing a territorial or landscape project. At the end of the Course, students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired according to some practical skills related to the design and transformation at the territory and landscape scale. Moreover, within this Course, some cross-cutting skills will be enhanced through activities connecting the different cultural or scientific areas, such as: - critical and judgemental skills about plans and projects of intervention at the territorial and landscape scale, in relation to requested written and/or oral observations and comments; - capacity to communicate projects and proposals of intervention for specific territorial and environmental contexts; - ability to complete the study in an autonomous way during one's professional life, by experimenting different strategies of territorial and landscape planning.
