12053 - Landscape Architecture (A)

Learning outcomes

The Laboratory of Architectural Design IV (A) (C.I. 12 CFU) is mainly constituted of the characterizing teaching of Architecture and Architectural Composition II (8 CFU) and a Landscape Architecture Teaching (4 CFU).

Landscape Architecture (4 CFU) (A) and (B) constitute the doubling of a single teaching of Landscape Architecture of 24 hours of frontal teaching activity for each module. During the two days of laboratory, 2 hours will be dedicated to the teaching of "Landscape Architecture" and the remaining hours to "Architectural Composition". The final exam of the two teachings (Landscape Architecture - 4 CFU and Architectural Composition - 8 CFU) will be jointly supported and the evaluation will consider the results achieved in both modules.

Course contents

The course program “Landscape Architecture” approaches the landscape dimension from a dual perspective: landscape as the perceived reality, accessible through an aesthetic contemplation, and as socio-political space to which the technical-planning intervention is addressed.

The landscape appearance is the litmus test able to reveal the permanence as well as the changes that characterize the complex territorial identity: as a witness to the relationships that man has established with the territory through its artifices, the landscape constitutes an alternative way to investigate and reconsider the links between project and territory, between culture and nature.

The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the critical analysis of the landscape and its constituent elements in connection with the project design.

Teaching methods

The lab activity will combine lectures and analytical-critical reading exercises on study cases.

Assessment methods

The Laboratory of Architectural Design IV (A) (C.I. 12 CFU) is mainly constituted of the characterizing teaching of Architecture and Architectural Composition II (8 CFU) and a Landscape Architecture Teaching (4 CFU).

For the achievement of the suitability for the course will be required the elaboration of some graphic works in order to evaluate the analytical-critical reading capacity of the elements of the landscape. Further specifications will be provided during the course.

The final exam will combine the evaluation of the work developed and an oral discussion on the contents of the activities carried out during the course.

The assessment of learning will follow the same procedures for both courses (A) e (B).
