Course program Master of Science in Urban Design - II year I Semester
Landscape Architecture - 6CFU
Prof. Francesco Ghio The discipline of landscape architecture poses one of its main objectives the control and compatible development and integrated management of land, and a careful design of the open space as required by international protocols on the environment and identified by the European Landscape Convention.
The course offers an overview of the most significant experiences of Landscape Architecture European and Italian.
Large urban parks, gardens and new public spaces are presented through lectures and conferences conducted by the teacher and invited experts with a focus on the case of Rome.
The lessons are as follows:
- Conceptual framework;
- Presentation of examples of projects and interventions landscape Italian and foreign (France, Spain, Holland, Germany) on a regional scale and urban
- The case of Rome: green system, Green archaeological, historic villas, gardens and parks of the city of the twentieth century, contemporary parks and public spaces;
The subject / year project is done together with the parallel Architecture and Urban Design Laboratory and an in-depth thanks to the contribution of teachers holding the other modules of the course (Representation Landscape and Plant Ecology)

Representation of Landscape - 2CFU
Prof. Maria Grazia Cianci This part of the course is part of the training project of the degree course as a tool for investigation of issues related to reading comprehension and representation of urban space and territory.
The student experiments with different techniques of representation through surveys, direct observations, readings and manipulation of images, maps, photographs.
It will also provide technical, interpretative and historiographical reading for urban design, showing how, over the centuries, different needs and purposes have generated different iconographic products.
The course is to develop themes, all centered on the question of urban and regional representation in modern and contemporary, with a focus on contemporary figurative languages, structured in four parts.
I-Lectures on the representation of the land and the environment (historical foundations, technical and expressive)
Surveys II-related issues in course design
III-Tutorials individual practices for the deepening of the trials of different methods of graphic representation
