D.1 KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The training objective of the course is to provide students with the ability to conceive and develop the landscape project "in coordination" with the objectives and contents of the Integrated Design Laboratory, and "in integration" with the objectives and contents of the other 3 Internal Courses at the Laboratory. The student will be asked to respond to 5 sub-objectives: 1. To develop creativity and ideation; 2. Educate to observe the existing; 3. Learn techniques and tools of landscaping; 4. Develop the capacity for critical judgment, using criteria and methods of (self) verification; 5. Experimenting with different languages, and media to communicate the project. D.2 APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student must therefore achieve the following objectives: 1. to study the concept of landscape, place, environment, territory, and space; 2. critical declination capacity of the main landscape theories for the development of the case study; 3. Application of the techniques and tools typical of landscaping: from the design of the vast scale to inclusion in urban contexts; 4. Ability to analyze and interpret existing environmental and landscape systems in relation to other reference systems and networks; 5. Ability to define environmental layouts, relevant use of plant species, and control of the "evolutionary" dimension; 6. Articulation, modeling and drawing capacity of the soil; 7. Capacity for integration and coordination with infrastructural, hydraulic and geological issues; 8. Control of the perceptive-aesthetic dimension; 9. Development of the evaluation capacity of the "insertion level"; 10. Development of sizing and verification techniques for the "service level". D.3 MAKING JUDGEMENTS The student will have to develop the project through the "logical construction of the speech": from the analysis phase, to the conception of the concept, from the functional sizing and coordination, up to the application of the technical feedback methods, showing that it has acquired the ability to "Project choice" in relation to the construction of a "coherence framework" of the project in relation to the areas, themes, places, criteria, scales and values deemed most relevant to the techniques and theories treated during the year by the teaching. In particular, the independence of judgment will be developed through the following path: 1. to experiment with specific tools such as the "scenario" or the "technical-economic feasibility", the "concept" or the "visuelle", the abachi, the diagrams, etc. .; 2. use the comparison and dialectic, through the collegial discussion (teachers-students, student-students, external specialists-students) in the classroom during the seminars to check the progress of the project; 3. encouraging group work; 4. providing ample space for moments of "learning by doing" through the case study; 5. developing direct observation in the field. D.4 COMMUNICATION SKILLS The training objectives will be completed by the exercise in the "transmission of the project". The teaching will provide the fundamentals of the grammar of visual communication of the landscape. D.5 LEARNING SKILLS At the end of the course, the student must be able to communicate in a concise and effective manner the design path developed, using different media, languages and media, to account for the different dimensions of the project and especially the consistency of the internal components, and relations with the other 3 disciplines of the laboratories.

The necessary prerequisites are those foreseen by the Integrated Design Laboratory, that is, having attended the preparatory Laboratories and having completed all the prerequisites as foreseen by the regulations of the Degree Program.

The professor will guide the students to the critical acquisition of the fundamentals of landscape design through knowledge: 1) the evolution of the main landscape theories from the mid-eighteenth century to today: 1.1 key concepts ("country", community, landscape, landschatf, ...) 1.2 development and semantic declination (of history and geography) 1.3 main figures of the landscape (mineral / natural) 1.4 main landscape theories and important landscape artists 1.5 main areas of the project (urban and extra-urban); 2) the development and application of the main analysis and project techniques and tools; 3) the modalities of interdisciplinary relationship with town planning, with environmental assessment, with ecology, with hydraulics, with geology, with entomology and with meteorology; 4) the design and communication techniques applied to the various "dimensions" of the landscape (material and immaterial), through experimentation of various media, languages, and modes of representation (static and dynamic); 5) the development of practical exercises on case studies that stimulate the ability of assessment (screening and monitoring) on real situations, always within working groups (consisting of 2-3 people), so as to encourage the ability to dialectic and in comparison with different positions; The professor will teach the technical and theoretical tools to illustrate a cultural horizon and technical knowledge to the student, in which he will independently and critically elaborate the concept of landscape in landscape urbanism, in coordination with the activities of the integrated design laboratory. At the end of the course the student must be able to apply the landscape technique, according to the different scales and scopes of the project, the following concepts: nature, place, territory, site, permeability, resilience, systemic evolution, environmental involution, re- naturalization, insertion, contextualization and anthropization. At the end of the course the student must be able to manage the "landscape dimension" in coordination with the other proposals from the laboratory. Specifically, he must be able to manage the following dimensions of the landscape project: 1. aesthetics; 2. systemic-naturalistic; 3. concept of heritage and value; encouraging the ability to adopt the most appropriate criteria

The course of Landscape Architecture will be divided into: 1. theoretical lessons 2. lessons on case studies 3. exercises and collective workshops in the classroom 4. revisions and discussion with individual working groups 5. guided inspections in the study areas 6. seminars with external teachers and professionals 7. workshops

The Landscape Architecture course is within the Integrated Design Laboratory (prof. A. Venudo).

The didactic activity and also the case study (exam project) of the Landscape Design course are coordinated with the other courses inside the Integrated Design Laboratory.

The final exam will take place with the presentation of the works (drawings and texts) produced by each working group, during the Laboratory and contemporary a discussion on theoretical-disciplinary themes related to the project, treated during the lessons and deepened with the reading of some volumes of the general bibliography and of that suggested from time to time in class. The course of Landscape Architecture foresees, in coordination with the Integrated Laboratory of Architecture, the intermediate discussions during the workshops and a conclusive verification in the final exam that will take place as described above. The Landscape Architecture course exam is an integral part of the Laboratory exam. The vote is expressed in thirtieths. The questions are open-ended. The general criterion for obtaining sufficiency is based on Liebig's minimum theory, i.e. not on the amount of knowledge level of all the topics (topics, tools, theories) covered by the course, but on the level of knowledge of the poorest and how this influences others, limiting their theoretical-design application The specific criterion for obtaining sufficiency concerns the presence or absence of coherence between the design choices developed in the exam project and the theoretical ones discussed and covered by the course. To obtain the maximum score, the student will have to demonstrate, in addition to the coherence between the design choices and the theoretical ones (therefore the knowledge of theories, techniques, tools and topics covered during the course), critical ability, his own architectural language, and self-criticism in exhibition of the project

The course has both a theoretical and technical nature, therefore the themes are of a cultural nature, however they are fundamental for the training of an architect aware of the social, political, cultural and even environmental responsibilities of those who are preparing to make transformations in the built environment and in places. of people's lives. Acquired knowledge and skills can contribute to the goal of sustainable cities and communities, in particular to inclusive and sustainable environmental, landscape and urban requalification to the promotion of cultural heritage
