Course Objectives
The educational objective of the course is to enable students to interpret the relationships that link the processes of transformation of the city and the territory with the theories and tools of the discipline of town planning, as well as to know, control and be able to use the fundamental elements of urban planning techniques aimed at reading and evaluating the transformative dynamics of the city and the territory and their design.
Course Prerequisites
It is necessary to have already taken the exam of the Integrated Course in Urban Planning (1st year).
Teaching Methods
1_ COURSE STRUCTURE AND TEACHING
The course is divided into frontal and interactive lessons, seminars and days dedicated to the in-depth study of theoretical topics and exercises, and to the verification and revision of the work carried out by the students.
Enrolment must be formalised via the course mailing list (by accessing the personal area with credentials), no later than the second week of lessons.
Attendance, in accordance with the course regulations, is compulsory and students with less than 70% attendance will not be admitted to the exam.
Lectures (classroom hours/year): 30 hours/semester
Exercises (classroom hours/year): 10 hours/semester
Practical activities (classroom hours/year): 20 hours/semester
2_ AUTONOMOUS LEARNING OF THE STUDENT
The student's autonomous activities, which in total must commit 90 hours, are divided as follows:
- 45 hours of individual study to consolidate the theoretical knowledge related to the first two phases of the Course
- 45 hours of practical work aimed at autonomously completing the graphic works produced during the laboratory activities
Assessment Methods
As far as the methods for the intermediate and final tests are concerned, the activities of the Course provide for a number of stages of progress and relative compulsory deliveries. These will be carried out on the dates and in the manner that will be communicated from time to time by the lecturer (reports, tables, power-point, etc.).
The examinations will be conducted as follows:
- Interview on the theoretical topics covered during the lectures
- Presentation and discussion of the papers produced during the laboratory activities
The final examination must be taken at the end of the entire training course, including verification of the contents of this programme. It will be taken by each candidate individually and will focus on the discussion of the project proposal, the theoretical principles and the bibliographical references.
The grade will be based on assessment criteria that refer to: attendance; ability to present the various topics with language propriety and to critically re-elaborate them; quality and pertinence of the proposed project contents; graphic quality; presentation and organization of the work.

1_DESCRIPTION
The course of Fundamentals of Territorial and Urban Design aims to provide the basic knowledge of urban planning theories and techniques for the interpretation and design of the city and the territory.
The course will develop the main issues related to the salient themes of contemporary urbanism and the design tools of the discipline. The workshop activities will be aimed at the elaboration of the interpretative framework of the urban-territorial reality chosen as a case study, in order to represent and evaluate the dynamics of the morphological and functional transformation processes occurring in the anthropic space, as well as to define a master plan hypothesis.
2_COURSE PROGRAMME
The course will be divided into two modules, not necessarily diachronic: the first, of theoretical learning, will be organised through ex-cathedra lectures and individual study; the second, of theoretical-applicative character will be organised through ex-cathedra lectures, laboratory activities in the classroom, field investigations and workshops.
Module 1
City and Territory in the Contemporary Age: Materials, Themes, Policies, Instruments
This module will focus on illustrating the changes undergone by cities and territories in their transition from modernity to contemporaneity. And, consequently, what are the materials that characterize their configuration and what are the themes that emerge for a possible reconfiguration, as well as the policies implemented and the forms taken by the instruments of territorial and urban design in recent years.
Furthermore, the methodologies for the interpretation, representation and design of contemporary urban territories will be dealt with.
In particular, it will deal with the application of a working methodology which, although duly adapted to the different local situations, is as transferable and replicable as possible in the different territories of contemporary urban dispersion.
This theoretical-practical hypothesis is based on the paradigm of the Ecopolitana Network, understood as a system of "dense places" - belonging to those landscapes (territorial and urban) that bring together both the characteristics of the city, and those of the countryside and nature - that have or can take on the value of oikos (in the etymological sense of "houses") in which the value of the landscape-territory is interrelated to the value of collective use attributable to them. These interconnected spaces (materially or immaterially) have the task of creating a sort of environmental infrastructure on an urban/metropolitan/territorial scale, destined for social use which, moving away from purely sectorial spheres, becomes a key element in the redevelopment project for the urban territory, in relation to which it contributes to the creation of new scenarios and visions, particularly in hybrid areas where different landscapes are mixed.
3_EXPECTED RESULTS
The expected results, in terms of the acquisition of knowledge by the student, are related to:
- main theoretical foundations of territorial and urban design
- methodologies for the reading, interpretation and design reconfiguration of territorial and urban phenomena and methods of representation of the same
The learning outcomes must be expressed, in compliance with the Dublin descriptors, not only in terms of expected knowledge, but also in terms of skills acquired (critical evaluation; communication; linguistic skills; design; etc.) and abilities/capacities attained (problem-solving; learning); as well as being related to the specific contents related to the Course objectives.
