The relationship between town and country - historically defined and distinct, the one where the other ended - has undergone deep metamorphosis in the contemporary city and the two palimpsest are often overlapping and indistinct. The goal of the course is to investigate this plot to draw new settlements for man habitation.
The territorial design module aims to provide students with tools, methods and concepts in the field of urban and regional planning.
Students are provided with a picture of the evolution of city-to-country relations and design tools at this intermediate scale. The module will be structured in frontal lessons, classroom exercises, seminars, moments of in-depth study and comparison, direct experimentation on the project area.
