Learning outcomes
The module aims to provide graduates with the cultural and operational tools to deal with the project and the active conservation of open spaces at all intervention scales (from the historic garden to the landscape, to sites, archaeological areas and parks) with particular reference to the interpretative reading of the spatial and temporal complexity of the places, to the reactivation of the different systems of existing relationships (historical, cultural, perceptive, productive-functional, ecological and environmental) and to the design management of the vegetable and mineral components.
Course contents
The Final Workshop: Design, History and Restoration (C.I.16 CFU, 192 hours) consists of the module/ teaching characteristic of Restoration (6 CFU, 72 hours) as well as a module/ teachings of:
- New technologies for the Survey of Architecture (2 CFU, 24 hours).
- Aesthetic and landscape (2 CFU, 24 hours);
- Rehabilitation of historic buildings (2 CFU, 24 hours);
- Design and active conservation of historic landscapes and open spaces (2 CFU, 24 hours);
- Architectural composition/museography (2 CFU, 24 hours).
Addresses cultural
The European Landscape Convention (Florence, 20 October 2000) defines the term "landscape" a certain part of the territory, as perceived by people, whose character derives from the natural and/or human and their interrelationships , and "landscape protection" means actions to conserve and maintain the significant or characteristic features of a landscape, justified by its heritage value derived from its natural configuration and/or from human activity; also with "Landscape planning" means strong forward-looking action, designed to enhance, restore or create landscapes.
The Convention outlines the cultural intentions to be pursued and the project and the active conservation of landscapes and open spaces are designed to capture and tell the story, changes in the identity and a place in continuous evolution, accompanying the evolutionary processes of the territory without freeze it in a time defined arbitrarily, but also highlighting the potential social, economic and ecological and involving the sensitivity and the interests of the community.
Objectives of the course
As part of an integrated curriculum that includes the coordinated with other disciplines of the laboratory, the course aims to provide cultural tools and operational methods for the project and the active conservation of open spaces at all scales of intervention (from the garden historic landscape, archaeological areas and parks), with particular reference to the analysis of the components of the landscape and cultural stratification and agricultural-forestry, through a methodological approach in situ and the scientific study of the associations botanical and plant ecology as tools for interpreting historical and contemporary, supported by the study of the links between man and vegetation (ethnobotany) and performing arts (fitoiconologia). Will be addressed through the analysis of design examples international experiences in which landscape architecture has allowed the development, understanding and enjoyment of cultural heritage. The teaching method will highlight the importance of knowledge of the vegetable and mineral component of the landscape as well as the ecological, biological, historical and archaeological study of the vegetation cover, aimed at the enhancement project of archaeological sites and cultural heritage.

Teaching methods
Lectures, joint audits with other teachers, inspections.
Participation in lectures, reviews and inspections has a decisive role in the elaboration of the final thesis.

The Final Workshop: Design, History and Restoration includes the verification of the learning of the contents of all the modules/teachings that make up the Integrated Course and takes place in a single examination test.
The evaluation will be effected on the basis of the laboratory work explained on the final report of the project.
The evaluation will be effected on the basis of the laboratory work explained on the final report of the project. The assessment of suitability is based on the weighted application of the following three criteria: knowledge of the theoretical content and bibliography and acquisition of instrumental skills (30%), level of detail of the project hypothesis (30%), clarity and effectiveness of presentation (40%).
