OVERVIEW

At the basis of the course is the idea that the city and the territory can be interpreted through a series of analytical tools, strategies and visions providing a multi-scale representation in accordance with the challenges of today's socio-spatial change. Optional course, with international perspective, consisting of the modules Urban Theory and Innovation, Urban Systems and New Technologies. The objective of the course is to provide a theoretical framework on mapping and analytical methods for urban planning in contexts characterised by processes of territorial transformation. By using digital simulation tools, students will explore alternative planning logics and scenarios aimed at the replicability of international best practices.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The didactic path envisages both the use of integrated analytical tools (morphological analysis, systems/network analysis, GIS mapping, Corine/Copernicus satellite analysis) and interpretative tools (Lynchian analysis, urban and territorial scaling, City Engine) for the study of site-specific contexts. All this opens up to integrated design with new technologies (sensorial, environmental, performance, digital) and to disciplinary areas contiguous to architecture/urbanism, such as service design, spatial economics, urban/regional geography, in order to question the form and nature of contemporary city. The aim is to train the professional figure of the designer to critically interpret the morphology of territories and urban spaces with particular attention to the objectives of sustainable development, urban regeneration processes and social interaction.
