21002038-3 - OPEN SPACES DESIGN

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.

Programme

The design of open space is of crucial importance in the construction of the contemporary city and the definition of urban and territorial relations.
The training activity focuses on the understanding of the multiple declinations of the open space project: urban parks, public gardens, urban gardens, squares, streets through the analysis and critical description of some significant examples investigated in their historical, cultural, geographical and social context.
The course also includes the elaboration of the open spaces project sharing the theme and the project area of the Architectural Design Laboratory. The design activity, conducted in close synergy with the lecturers of the other modules, will start from the reading of the stratification and archaeology of places, the practices of inhabiting open space, the environmental dynamics and will bring into play the knowledge of urban, architectural and landscape architecture design.

Type of delivery of the course

In the first phase, the course consists of lectures on the topics described in the programme. In a subsequent phase the lectures will be accompanied by project reviews. The open space project will be developed in close connection with the architectural and urban project, therefore periodic reviews will be carried out, also with the professors of the other modules, to verify and discuss the progress.

Attendance

Attendance is compulsory at 75%.

Type of evaluation

The examination takes the form of a discussion of the submitted papers and the theoretical content of the course.
