Main themes

The aim of the ‘transversality’ courses is to bridge the approaches from the theoretical courses and from the design studios through operative concepts, reference analyses and investigation methods.
This course introduces students to the analysis of built and unbuilt spaces at various scales. It covers elements of physical geography and environmental sciences, as well as urban and landscape morphologies.
Students will utilize methods and tools of urban and environmental analysis to understand and produce structures, infrastructures, and territorial configurations. The course also includes an introduction to forward-thinking tools such as visions, scenarios, and foresight techniques.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

Specific Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, students will be able to: Describe and analyze the various layers that constitute built and unbuilt spaces, Conduct a multiscale analysis of an area through both in situ immersion and cartographic work, combining diverse analytical methods, Generate retrospective and prospective analyses, Produce a critical synthesis of cross-readings, addressing the political dimensions of regional planning. General Learning Outcomes In line with the program’s learning outcomes (LOs), this course contributes to the development and acquisition of the following LOs: LO1.1 Identify the parameters and issues of a given situation.
