Educational objectives The aim of the course is to provide students with the tools to analyse, understand and modify food display spaces, both from a material and immaterial point of view. To this end, the course aims, on the one hand, to provide students with theoretical and analytical knowledge, mainly aimed at understanding the evolution of the purposes and methods of food display in different contexts, and, on the other hand, to provide students with technical and design knowledge, mainly aimed at understanding the minimum design criteria as well as the acquisition of a critical capacity necessary for their application.
Teaching methods The course is divided into theoretical lectures and design activities.
Other information The professor will communicate with students for exam results and/or course materials via www.unistudium.unipg.it
Learning verification modality The examination includes an individual oral test focusing on the discussion of theoretical content and the presentation of design activities. These tests are aimed at checking the level of cognitive, critical and relational skills.
