Learning Objectives

Laboratory of Urban and Regional Planning
The “Laboratorio di Pianificazione Territoriale”, is aimed at providing students a set of analytical tools to analysing different features of city and territory and deliver a project on a specified area that is assigned at the begin of the Laboratory. During the Laboratorio students will analyse the assigned area with a set of traditional tools (land use maps) and more innovative techniques (land cover analysis). The laboratory is fully integrated with the “Pianificazione Territoriale” module.
Studio of Urban and Regional Planning
The “Studio of Urban and Regional Planning”, is aimed at providing students a set of analytical tools to analysing different features of city and territory and deliver a project on a specified area that is assigned at the begin of the Laboratory. During the Laboratorio students will analyse the assigned area with a set of traditional tools (land use maps) and more innovative techniques (land cover analysis). The laboratory is fully integrated with the “Pianificazione Territoriale” module.

Course Structure

Laboratory of Urban and Regional Planning
The course is structured in lectures, exercises and supplementary seminars. Lectures frame the relation between theoretical and technical issues that characterise spatial planning. Best practices will be offered in the supplementary lectures. During the Atelier, students will be guided by teachers in a completing a set of assignments on urban analysis and design.
Studio of Urban and Regional Planning
The STudio will focus on a part of a city or portion of larger area (urban or metropolitan) to be understood as an interrelated system of historically, physical and human facts.
Through the analysis of the planning tools, the understanding of the spatial processes of both urban and territorial value, as well as the socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the contexts analyzed, students will elaborate and design an urban project aimed at giving meaning, roles and hierarchies for the study area analysed..
The students will be guided in a process of building a set of analytical and design documents. In particular, each group of students will have to elaborate the following :
- a "cognitive framework", that is the elaboration of a set of analyses which are based both on existing and new data (analysis of available cartographic sources ), aimed at identifying the main characteristics of the territorial system analyzed. This set of analyses will allow to carry out useful evaluations for the definition the project objectives;
- a "master plan", that is a hypothesis of a structural plan aimed at explaining the objectives of the project and the main transformation strategies;
- an "urban planning project", that is a project that is configured as a variant to be made to the existing urban planning instrument and that reaches the detail of the implementation tool. The project proposal must contain planivolumetric representations, standard sections, regulatory profiles, as well as indications regarding the intervention methods.
The laboratory will be divided into work sessions carried out in the classroom by students with the assistance of the teachers and in a series of lectures in which theoretical topics will be covered.
The contents of the lectures will be aimed at illustrating ideological and cultural, methodological and administrative aspects of urban analysis and planning with a continuous reference to historical experiences, as well as to dynamics and processes underpinning the current urban contexts.
In relation to the study area, the events of urban training will be dealt with, the critical reading of planning choices, as well as relevant examples of urban projects carried out in urban areas similar to the areas under study, useful for providing students with indications for understanding of the theme and possible design solutions.
The STUDIO will have to elaborate 8 A1 format tables (preferably) containing the following aspect: Land use, Infrastructure assets, Urban growth, Fabric morphology, Framing and iconographic representations of the study area, Evaluations and meta-project..
The working groups will also carry out an in-depth study on sustainable design experiences on an urban scale on a set of representative case studies pre-selected by the teacher. This in-depth analysis will be publicly exposed during the hours of frontal lessons.

Detailed Course Content

Laboratory of Urban and Regional Planning
Aims

The course aims at introducing the most relevant issues of Town and Regional Planning, following the more recent cultural evolution and national/regional legislations. The course introduces the different methods for planning and designing the territory with a sustainable use of natural resources. It is integrated with the Atelier “Laboratorio di Pianificazione Territoriale”, that is aimed at providing students a set of analytical tools to analysing different features of city and territory.

Structure of the course

The course is structured in frontal lectures, exercises and supplementary seminars. Lectures frame the relation between theoretical and technical issues that characterise spatial planning. Best practices will be offered in the supplementary lectures. During the Atelier, students will be guided by teachers in a completing a set of assignments on urban analysis and design.

Participation to the course

Students must formally register to the course. The attendance is compulsory, both for lectures and the Atelier. In the Studio, students will form work groups that will be constantly followed by teachers and tutors.

Final exam

Only students that have attended 70% (50% for worker student) of lectures and Studio will be admitted to the final exam. The final exam is an oral and group presentation of the content of the project, aimed at verifying the correct development of the project assignments.
