The optional course lasts the whole academic year and provides for the participation in the “Seminario itinerante di progettazione Villard”, reaches the seventeenth edition. To the Seminar participate 13 Faculties, Italian and foreign (Alghero, Ascoli Piceno, Napoli, Palermo, Paris Malaquais, Reggio Calabria, Patrasso, Roma, Venezia, Ancona, Milano, Genova, Pescara, Trapani) and some prestigious cultural institutions. The Seminar, is reserved to the students of the Laurea Magistrale and, for organizational matters, to a maximum of 10 students selected in base to the worth, through the presentation of a portfolio and an interview.
The program foresees the layout of a project on the theme of year, generally proposed by administrations town or other institutions or corporate and, however, connected to different territorial realities. The theme is introduced at the beginning of the seminar and developed during the year according to the anticipated schedule. The trip and the knowledge of the cities constitutes the main core of the seminar. During every meetings, generally four and of the duration of two/three days, lessons, lectures, visits and shows are organized, with the contribution of the teachers of the Faculties participants.
The itinerancy of the seminar ensures that students come into contact with different physical and cultural places, crossing experiences and knowledge with teachers and students from other cities. The seminar has its conclusion in a final event: the show, with the presentation and awarding of the best projects, followed by the publication of the catalog with the work of students and critical contributions collected during the seminar.

Programme
The Villard Seminary is in charge of Ischia for its 20th edition. The earthquake of summer 2017 put the Flegrea island and its active volcano in the spotlight, highlighting its high degree of risk; because of the high density of the inhabitants, especially in the summer season, and for the quality of the materials and construction techniques adopted, not always adequate. The Villard seminar, in continuity with experiences from previous years, returns to address the theme of "fragile territories", through the tools of protection, enhancement and project. In this particular case Villard assumes the waters of Ischia (the thermal waters, in the first place) as the main resource for the "reconstruction" of the island and as an inspirational material of the design action. In particular, a number of areas of intervention have been identified, from the coast to the hinterland, each of which are characterized by general background issues and specific design themes. The students' experiments will investigate the theme of "Architectures for Water", with a focus on defining public space, identifying the route system, works for securing soils from risk with the aim of having sustainable and responsible tourism on the island.Core Documentation

The programme provides for the development of a project on a topic, usually proposed by municipal administrations or other institutions or institutions, however linked to the different territorial realities. The theme is presented at the beginning of the seminar and developed throughout the year in the various stages. Travel is the backbone of the seminary as an instrument of knowledge of the cities. During each stage, with the help of the teachers of the participating Faculties, meetings, lectures, lectures, guided tours and exhibitions are organized. Each stage lasts 3-4 days. The design work is carried out mainly during the hours that the different venues dedicate to the workshop. The seminary's inesability means that students come into contact with different physical and cultural places, crossing experiences and knowledge with teachers and students from other locations. The seminar concludes at a final event: the exhibition, with the presentation and awarding of the best projects, followed by the publication of the catalogue with the work of students and critical contributions collected during the seminar.Attendance
Attendance is mandatory at 75% of hours and participation in at least four out of five collective meetings is requiredType of evaluation
The examination is carried out in two phases. At the end of the seminar, an external jury, made up of specialists and professionals, evaluates the projects presented by the students and exhibited in the year-end exhibition. The committee's unquestionable judgment is that projects considered best are reported and rewarded. A second moment of evaluation of the projects of the students related to the Department of Architecture of Rome Tre takes place in the office through an internal committee. The examination, taking into account the judgment of the previous committee and the evaluation of the internal teachers in the Department, gives a judgment according to the usual assessments in thirty-somethings. During the exam students are called to present their project through drawings and an oral description of both the logic and general strategic objectives, as well as the detailed design choices.
