12053 - Landscape Architecture (A)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the module the student analyzes and recognizes, using the basic tools for reading the landscape, the complex dynamics that have configured the different existing territories. He knows the different scales necessary for the analysis of places and understands their evolutions. Learns, through in-depth case studies, how to intervene with the project in the territorial context according to structured dialectical methods.

Course contents

The Architectural Design Laboratory IV (A) (C.I. 12 CFU) is an integrated course consisting, in addition to the characteristic teaching of Architecture and Architectural Composition, of a teaching of Landscape Architecture.
Landscape Architecture (A) and (B) constitute the duplication of a single Landscape Architecture course of 24 hours of frontal teaching activity for each module. During the two laboratory days, 2 hours will be dedicated to the Landscape Architecture module and the remaining to the Architectural Composition module. The final exam of the two courses (Landscape Architecture - 4 CFU and Architectural Composition - 8 CFU) will be taken jointly and the evaluation will take into account the results achieved in both modules.
The program of the "Landscape Architecture" course addresses the dimension of the landscape from a dual perspective as a synthesis between perceived reality, through aesthetic contemplation, and usable space for which the technical-design intervention is intended.
The physiognomy of the landscape constitutes a litmus test capable of revealing both the permanence and the changes that characterize the complex identity of the territories: witness to the relationships that man has established with the territory through his artifices, the landscape constitutes in fact a channel alternative to investigate and rethink the links between project and territory, between culture and nature, according to a sequence that sees nature, landscape, artifice in succession.
The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the critical analysis of the landscape and the elements that constitute it in relation to the design intervention.

Teaching methods

The laboratory activity will combine lectures and analytical-critical reading exercises on case studies.

Assessment methods

The Architectural Design Laboratory IV (A) is an integrated course consisting, in addition to the characteristic teaching of Architecture and Architectural Composition (8 CFU), by a teaching of Landscape Architecture (4 CFU).
To achieve suitability, some graphic works will be required in order to evaluate the ability to analytically-critically read the elements of the landscape. Further specifications will be provided as the course progresses.
The final exam will combine the evaluation of the papers produced for the exercise and an oral discussion on the contents of the activities carried out during the year.
The learning assessment will follow the same methods for both courses (A) and (B).

Teaching tools

The teaching materials relating to the lectures and laboratory exercises will be made available to the student in digital format on the IOL platform (https://iol.unibo.it) or sent via e-mail.
