Objectives

1. The course deals with the design of the landscape-environment in accordance with a set of design requirements oriented in an environmental sense and with a design conception as a collective design developped trough different knowledges and subjects. The course proposes a design method that is coherent with the physical context in which it must be inserted and with the expectations of local societies. A conscious and careful design to environmental hazards. A design idea conscious relating to different aspects and problems with the support of relevant international theories, approaches, methods and tools for the mobilization of knowledge, for the design and environmental planning at any scale.
2. The course provides up-to-date scientific knowledge about risk factors and the current state of the environmental media in relation to the phenomenon of human activity and what are the effects and consequences on the health of the population.

Teaching Methods

The course is conducted entirely face to face and is divided into lectures and laboratory design.
The course includes lectures in support of the laboratory, laboratory design, guided visits to project sites. The laboratory is dedicated to the realization of a transformation and rehabilitation design of an area of Sardinia, which satisfy the requirements at the base of the course. The visits in the site design will allow to know the places, meet experts and locals inhabitants. The design, if possible, will be presented and discussed with experts and residents.
