The Design Studio is the core of the Iuav
fall semester. It will reflect on research/design through description and
scenarios. The Italian territories of dispersion, the new form of the
contemporary metropolis, are taken as a reference for comparison with other
European or non European cases. The hypothesis that leads the Studio is that
these territories are today facing a strong mutation. The Studio will observe
and read places and territories in transformation, questioning them with
different hypothesis about their future. Scenarios related to new way of
living, moving, inhabiting the city and the territory will be explored to
understand the ways in which the territories of dispersion have been, will and
might be shared or conflictual resources and support of an innovative
ecological project; looking for new representations of the territory as
infrastructure and living place.
Lectures and seminars will integrate the Design Studio core:
> The GIS in the territorial project and 3D design
The aim of the seminar is to give the basic
knowledge to manage and produce plans and territorial maps. A practical seminar
will be held where some graphic exercises and statistic analysis will be
developed and some geographically referenced data will be managed. Practical
exercise of mapping, monitoring, modelling and visualization will be held, with
the use of geographical information technologies such as GIS, image processing
tools, simulation tools and spatial multimedia in order to manipulate and
analyze geographically referenced areas. Some knowledge of 3D design will also
be given.
> The knowledge field
Some lectures will discuss the connection
between forms of rationality and forms of knowledge (expert, technical,
ordinary, interactive), typologies of public choice. All this points will be
mainly discussed with reference to the issue and practice of the production of
scenarios and, more generally, to the issue of the “future” in
urban planning.
> Instruments of design
The seminars will illustrate the project as a
reading tool of contemporary cities and territories with an analytic and elementaristic
approach, but also as a collection of hypothesis on the future of contemporary
cities and territories.
> Tools of representation
An internal historical perspective is explored
through the forms of rationality that support and legitimize the production of
urban-spatial plans, from the scientific rationality to the communicative
rationality.
This course will explore the evolving
relationship between photography and the built environment over the 19th
and 20th centuries, promoting handoff visual texts related to the modern city
and its landscapes. The aim is to overcome the traditional dichotomy between
the technique and the art of photography, in search of the medium’s deeper
ethos.
This part will be an on-site workshop which
will employ photography as a tool to enrich and modify the traditional figure of
architect and urbanist. The students will be asked to produce and discuss their
own photographic work.
> Techniques of production of cities and
territories
This course will introduce theories and the
applications of landscape ecology in strong
relation with the studio issues, and will provide
tools in order to deal with mobility issues.
Among them: theories in landscape ecology; methods
to evaluate and manage
the urban systems by using the methods of
landscape ecology; information theory, biosemiotics and eco-field; metrics in
landscape ecology; interactions between social systems and the spatial
organization of urban systems.

Cultural Landscapes: Strategies and Descriptions
Key issue: Cultural
Landscapes
Approach:
research/design through description and strategies
Site: Venice
Heritage
cities and landscapes are a relevant concept born within modern architecture
and urbanism. Their preservation for contemporary life is today one of the most
exciting challenges for planners and designers since this requires: a) the
development of sharp sensitivity to detect latent qualities; b) the feeding of
a deep specific cultural background; c) the development of clever design skills
to interpret patterns, spaces, forms so that their original concept is
respected, but, at the same time, modern urban life finds the best possible
shape and fascinating forms. The Design Studio will deal with the re-cycling of
the former Actv dockyard to insert a new design in the thick landscape and
historical palimpsest of Venice and its lagoon.
lectures and seminars
– fields of
knowledge: the design of cities and
territories as “art of time”
– instruments of
design: “rilievo critico”
(critical survey), the critical reading of space
– tools of
representation: photogrammetry and 3-D
representation
– techniques of
construction of cities and territories:
landscape design
