Extended program	The course aims to focus on the relationship between aesthetics, landscape and art starting from the centrality of the relational dimension, on the basis of the category of recognition. Some basic elements of the disciplinary field will be addressed in order to provide a historical and methodological framework aimed at understanding the terms, categories and evolution of the different meanings assumed by the discipline (the science of sensible knowledge; the different declinations assumed by the aesthetic experience; the various forms of philosophy of art). The link between art and recognition will then be addressed, emphasizing the relational and intersubjective implications connected to the artistic dimension, introductory to the treatment of the landscape and the different forms of artistic expression in the contemporary context. The relationship between aesthetics and landscape will be addressed considering heterogeneous readings and perspectives, in order to propose as broad a view as possible on the possible issues and implications related to the theme.

Land Art Design

Learning activities	Caratterizzante
Area	Design e comunicazioni multimediali
Academic discipline	ICAR/13
Type of study-unit	Obbligatorio (Required)
Language of instruction	italian
Contents	The course proposes a methodological path to guide students' acquisition of a range of knowledge, tools and methods useful in design activities. The course proposes a practical approach to the use of design tools so that students can become familiar with making informed choices along all stages of the design process. In particular, the work will concern the Land Art project. Starting from the identification and relative analysis of an area considered interesting for its peculiarities, according to tools and methods shared during the lectures, a Lart Art Design project will be elaborated within it, which is aimed at the environmental redevelopment of the area from different points of view.

Educational objectives	The evaluation criteria will focus on the acquisition of some key skills (Dublin Descriptors) that the course intends to feed: - analytical and sense-making skills (ability to use the tools and methods of research and analysis and synthesis) - communication skills (verbal, visual and storytelling); - systemic vision skills (thought organization, ability to manage the process phases, - research and in-depth skills, problem solving skills); - design skills (ability to organize work and use project development tools) - autonomy, self-esteem, teambuilding and teamworking.
Prerequisites	Knowledge of ISO standards on design and the ability to represent in 2D and 3D through the use of various tools. Use of graphics software.
Teaching methods	The course is divided into: Ex catedra lectures Laboratory sessions. Collective corrections and verifications. Team working.
Other information	The course provides indications on the sources from which it is possible to draw indications and suggestions for the exercises and for the project. The sources are traditional (books, scientific articles, documents) and audio / video and will be enriched from time to time during the lessons.
Learning verification modality	The exam will be carried out on the dates fixed in the exam timetable of the CdS and includes an oral test and the presentation of the project drawings. The oral exam consists of an interview lasting no more than about 30 minutes to present the project's drawings to the committee.
Extended program	The course aims to introduce students to an interdisciplinary approach to the design of places with a view to land enhancement. The design experience will be developed in synergy with the other modules of the Laboratory of 'Landscape Aesthetics in the History of Thought' and 'Zero Cubature Architecture' with the aim of organizing an integrated and sustainable system of design for the territory starting from the documentation of the genesis of the Land Art phenomenon in the 1960s and 1970s and its complex influence, earthworks and performances, including examples of contemporary artworks that are based on environmental themes. The project that the students will be called upon to carry out will therefore be about the enhancement of territorial capital through the conception of new physical and virtual artifacts that start from the analysis of the criticality of the place in order to imprint on it a sign that will be maintained over time, and that is aimed at the environmental redevelopment of the territory from different points of view.
