LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.
In collaboration with the training activities of the urbanism, history and cartography components of TAP, "Landscape" component introduces students to the meaning of the landscape, making explicit its constituent aspects. It provides a framework of instrumental knowledge for open spaces design, including historical, design, visual and environmental disciplines, in close relationship with the architectural design and urban design. The main goal is to transmit the ability to understand and appreciate the complexity of landscape architecture, in the cultural, ethical, aesthetic and ecological terms, through the formation of a receptive and attentive sensitivity to the various habitat components (how to observe and understand) and several project topics (how to intervene and transform).

The teaching takes place through design lessons, making students understand the need for mutual link between architectural design and landscape architecture, which should always converge in a truly integrated project, and how open spaces play as the essential matrix of any urban project.

The first part is devoted to the understanding of the main elements of landscape architecture: the design and construction of the limit; modeling and writing of the soil; the architecture of the vegetation; water as architecture and as a measure of time.

The second part deals with the syntax of the project, and what are its main compositional rules that, over time, have adjusted and now govern the construction of landscape architecture, with reference to:
- The garden, in the two strands of the "perspective space" and "fragmented space";
- The agricultural landscape, with its main defined horizontal and vertical structures;
- The city, and the structural role that open spaces play from the 16th century European urban revolution.

The lessons are flanked by four exercises, of reading, interpretation and design, stressing on relation to the topics of the lectures.

The exam consists of a dialogue on the topics of the course, through the instrument of " Landscape Domino", aimed at verifying not only the acquisition of the transmitted knowledge, but also the critical maturity gained in building meaningful relationships between authors, places and projects.

The SEL course, lasting one year, will jointly three components - Settlement, Environment and Landscape - considering their inseparable complementarity for the management of the reality around us.

The landscape training will introduce students to the meaning of landscape, focusing on its constitutive parts and proposing exercises on landscape reading, interpretation and representation. It will introduce the fundamental elements of open space design, with particular reference to the treatment of the soil, grading, to the role of vegetation, to the relations with buildings, urban realm and public space.
