Landscape Systems Analysis
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
Through the class students will acquire knowledge and awareness with respect to the definition and tools and methods of analysis of complex landscape-environmental and territorial systems in relation to emerging issues related to their use (also in terms of criticality) and semantization. Students will also be able to produce critical analytical reports of territorial systems and to develop projects for the regeneration of landscape-environmental systems.
Expected learning outcomes
The course of the program will be oriented to strengthen the skills and competencies:
- in the definition and analysis of complex landscape-environmental systems;
- in the definition and analysis of the territorial dynamics in order to reach with greater effectiveness and coherence their interpretation and evaluation;
- understanding, interpretation and transposition into the territorial project of the new social and economic demands in relation to the themes of socio-territorial, cultural and environmental regeneration;
- design of regeneration processes of the landscape-environmental systems, with particular reference to the socio-cultural values of the territories considered, also through the comparative study of good practices and ongoing projects.
