Constituent Elements and Processes of Landscape

People

Voser M. R.

Teacher

Description

Our territory consists of a continuously changing stratification of natural elements and cultural phenomena. The course aims to introduce students to a knowledge of the constituent elements of the contemporary landscape by presenting the multiplicity of problems for which solutions need to be found. Components such as land, water and vegetation will be investigated from different angles, in a search for design strategies appropriate to these dynamic elements. During lectures, the discussion of the issue of the image of the landscape will be as important as the understanding of the techniques that regulate it. Each day’s work of the course will be devoted to a specific area of expertise focused on a zone of the Mendrisiotto.
