The theme of the seminar is 'The conscious gaze of the landscape architect'. The co-awareness referred to is connected both to the "scientific knowledge" of the discipline that orients the gaze by guiding the identification of problems and possibilities, and to the "implicit project" contained in the representations of the landscape architect, similarly to what Giuseppe Dematteis states occurs for geography.
The seminar takes up the reflection on the theme of "description" already begun within the PhD programme and tends to develop critical skills in PhD students, exercising their gaze towards contemporary landscapes and desirable perspectives for change.
