Università Roma Tre

The course aims to provide the basic elements of design applied to the urban scale, developing the understanding of devices useful for its practice. Through the analysis of exemplary projects, the course offers an understanding of general settlement and compositional principles, the relationship with the urban and natural context and the relationship between architecture and open space. The choice of examples is meant transversally with respect to the history of the western city, distilling the principles of organization of the urban space regardless of the period in which it was proposed.
