AP4016 - ECTS

 

A fieldtrip, a set of thematic open classes, by various experts, and a workshop, integrate both subjects allowing the discussion of general and common aspects as well as very specific issues related to landscape management and qualification.

The ultimate goal, the development of proposals for enhancing the landscape, will be achieved by working at various scales – from the identification of planning and management measures to the design of detailed project solutions – that mutually influence each other, implying reassessments, revisions and permanent improvements. Moreover, the joint organization of these courses - concerning objectives, methods and evaluation - will show the complementarity and interdependence between planning, management and design, gathering these three levels of approach.

It is also intended with this course to give continuity to studies initiated in former courses on public space, with special emphasis on developing specific proposals for the urban structures of old settlements and for landscape qualification of areas connected to the site.

 

Specifically regarding landscape management, it’s intended to consolidate concepts of spatial planning, ecology and landscape quality, enhancing the knowledge acquired in all the remaining units.
