The seminar investigates some authors and ideas of 20th century landscape projects. The four main elements that construct open space and are at the basis of its conformation, perception and representation will be the term of comparison: water, soil, vegetation and boundary. The seminar will be divided into communications and analytical readings of projects and comparisons that will also take place through an operational workshop in the afternoons. PhD students will be asked to participate in the lectures, in the workshop of critical reading of the projects through drawings, and to write an illustrated critical essay (15,000 bt), starting from two or three works/projects compared.
