The structure of the city is the focus of the laboratory; it is understood as a complex system of relations within which the design of public space takes shape. The program has the objective to compare students with a complex design theme and multi scale, divided into three main stages:
1_The study of the territory and planning instruments.
2_The project for the regeneration of a neighbourhood.
3_The architectural project.
1_The study of the territory and planning instruments.
2_The project for the regeneration of a neighbourhood.
3_The architectural project.

teacher profile teaching materials
The system of urban and peri-urban open spaces, characterized by human and natural features, represents the main theme of the course which involves different aspects of landscape. Particular importance is given to analysis, assessment and planning/design, with attention to physiographic, vegetational, historical, and visual elements of sites as well as anthropic and ecological dynamics. These represent the local identity and are capable of stimulating innovative strategies of planning and design in synergy with the characteristics of the territorial context, on both a large or a small scale.
In this way, the lectures and project experiences can help the students to develop cognitive, assessment and design skills. These are based on the understanding and construction of relationships between architectures and open spaces, between identifying features and contemporary transformations, between spatial articulation and its evolutionary dynamics.

Programme
The course “Design of Open Spaces” deals with themes strictly related to those developed from other modules of the Laboratory of Architectural Design 3M, headed by Prof. Luigi Franciosini. The teaching activities, carried out during the first semester, are organized in lectures and in project experiences.The system of urban and peri-urban open spaces, characterized by human and natural features, represents the main theme of the course which involves different aspects of landscape.

The course aims at developing a specific critical / interpretative / theoretical background and contributing, together with the other modules of the Studio, to drawing up a complex and articulated design, a coherent set of architecture and open spaces, which is able to define or re-define the structure and image of a urban context.

Programme
The Open Space Design Studio intends to provide reading and interpretation tools of the urban landscape, i.e. to develop the right sensitivity to recognize its the material and immaterial values as well as developing creativity and technical skills to translate them into an architecture design that is both "device" and "detonator" of landscape quality.The course aims at developing a specific critical / interpretative / theoretical background and contributing, together with the other modules of the Studio, to drawing up a complex and articulated design, a coherent set of architecture and open spaces, which is able to define or re-define the structure and image of a urban context.

Teaching takes place as a design studio with progressive state-of-the-art reviews and frontal lessons that support the work-in-progress of the design. The disciplinary contributions of the lectures are directed to those aspects that address the difficulties of the subject: - Analysis, Representation, Mapping; - Landscape Strategies and Facilities, Masterplan; - Contemporary trends, approaches and languages. The exam takes place remotely on the Zoom platform. The drawings must be uploaded at least 48 hours before on the laboratory's Google Drive.Attendance
Attendance is mandatory at 75% of the hours.Type of evaluation
The exam is carried out with a discussion on the overall project drawings of the design studio. Specific design drawings are required on the components of the public space (vegetation, furnishing systems, lighting, in the scale and of the definition that the design requires) which are added to the elaborates of the other modules of the Studio. The the evaluation will take into account the level of knowledge gained regarding the theoretical contents of the course and the design drawings of that will emphasize: - Ability to analyse urban contexts; - Ability to formulate the project; - Creativity; - Skill in Representation and Communication.
