Programme

The Landscape Representation course is aimed at providing the basic skills of representation aimed at the analysis, knowledge, communication and design of open spaces and landscape.
In the first part, students will be encouraged to carry out a process that is not merely technical in representation, but rather to analyse, identify and adequately represent the components of the landscape: hydrographic, geo-morphological, vegetal, infrastructural, building. Recognizing existing traces (natural and anthropic) and rendering them in graphic signs appropriate for communication is an essential element of representation. it is essential to establish an act of reading reality that is expressed with the multifaceted set of processes and cognitive means specific to Drawing.
A part of the teaching will be reserved for the presentation of national and international cases of contemporary representations of urban spaces and landscape, in order to grasp the trends of the current panorama.
Some software dedicated to the contemporary representation of the landscape will be presented, in order to favor the integration between analogue and digital representation.
The application lessons in the classroom will focus on the graphic elaborations of the year's theme, aimed at the analysis and communication of the project by combining analytical and descriptive representations with synthetic and ideogrammatic representations.
The objective of the module is to enable students to acquire the ability to read environmental contexts, the ability to identify existing traces and know how to represent them in the most appropriate graphic form for the purposes of an analysis process and for the purposes of a design process, as well as to acquire one's own graphic language through theoretical contents and graphic applications.
The interdisciplinary approach will be favored for the purposes of an exhaustive development of the topics addressed and, above all, for a more informed representation.

Type of delivery of the course

The lessons are theoretical and applied. The theoretical lessons deal with representation, landscape representation, criteria and methods, tools and methodologies, contemporary trends in landscape representation. The application lessons are in laboratory form and are dedicated to reading, knowledge and representation of the assigned year theme. During the laboratory activities the students will be stimulated towards those methods of representation and those graphic languages useful for describing the characteristics of the year's theme. Each student must have a notebook to write down and draw, according to the analytical-cognitive process and the design process. Students, individually and in groups, will have to use all valid tools to support an adequate process of understanding and representation, such as cartographic documents, photographs, sketches, diagrams, analogue drawings, digital representations, mixed graphic processing and inspections. Graphic works on the theme of the year are required, which will be agreed with the teacher and on which work will begin during the application lessons.

Attendance

Compulsory attendance for 75% of lessons as per the teaching regulations.

Type of evaluation

During the exam, students will have to present the work carried out through an oral interview that highlights the choices made and the motivations. The evaluation will be collegial with the other teachers. The analysis and project tables, the graphic language, the graphic regulations, the type of representation, the graphic coherence and layout, the frequency, the active participation, the autonomy in knowing how to manage the work will be evaluated.
