Objectives

Acquisition of design competences of a small-medium scale green areas; conceptualization and spatial organization according to the climate of the region, topography and sun exposure, views, pre-existing elements, proposed uses and functions; terrain modeling and use of vegetation in the design of outdoor space.

Learning outcomes and competences

Ability to develop a project of small to medium-sized green areas, at the level of a preliminary study, integrating variables of various types.

Ability to describe and justify the proposed idesign through the preparation of graphic representations (plans, sections, drawings, text and scale model) and an oral presentation.
