Building on an understanding of the discipline of design, the course aims to create those cultural and methodological conditions for building relationships with architecture, ecology and art.
During the semester, students will be stimulated through open discussions of architectural projects and exhibition spaces, modern and contemporary, in which the creative and imaginative matrix is clear. How some of these projects have been prescient of an increasingly pressing need to integrate design and ecology.
Starting with a Client who needs to open a new branch of business in the Mediterranean, students are asked to design a new installation capable of connecting the history of the company with the new product to be produced.
The selected client is a shoe manufacturing company called SCARPA. Having always invested in the world of mountains and mountain sports, the client decides to launch a new branch of the company called SCARPA MEDITERRANEAN. Students need to envision an exhibition space in relation to this company goal.
The following are required: basic knowledge of spatial design and representation.

2_ AUTONOMOUS LEARNING OF THE STUDENT
- In-depth study/study on bibliography: the student is to synthesize in a dynamic and constructive way the texts suggested by him or her or the suggested texts. 5 hours.
- Test preparation: organizing dynamic presentations for project explanation. 5 hrs
The students are expected to design an urban park, with the 80% of the area dedicated to reforestation and 20% dedicated to facilities – sports, recreational areas, cultural events. Required
- Model of study;
- Analysis of the site;
- Site plan;
- Systems drawings;
- N. 2 sections in 1:50 scale;
- Perspective and/or axonometric drawings.
Students will gain an understanding of the state of the discipline of landscape design through direct examples and by deepening complex reasoning across disciplines. Knowledge and understanding skills;
From this knowledge they will have to construct plausible scenarios for new ways of inhabiting the urban environment and its ecological, cultural and resilience needs;
Students will be expected to independently produce ideas that will be collectively analyzed and then methodologically addressed to build the tools needed to think about complex projects;
Each student should communicate his or her progress by adapting graphic representations with specific and timely references and citations;
By the end of the course, students should have completed a course of instruction that leads them to construct ideas in relation to their cultural choices and personal interests, so that they can elaborate an active, agile and modern knowledge path.

The design of an exhibition space involves careful integration between the containing structure and the content. In the course of designing the structure, issues related to ecology, resilience, social policies and cultural inclusion will be addressed, so that the creative process can also be a generator of spatial and human relations.
