Cultural Landscapes, Heritage and Territorial Project

Cultural Landscapes, Heritage and Territorial Project

This course focuses on the research and project of the processes and forms of urbanization on contemporary territory. For this, we will study the landscape, the heritage, and the shape of the territory as planning criteria based on local resources and the identity of the place.

The module explores the concepts of landscape, «cultural landscape», heritage, and the operationalization of the territory in the current context through the study of theoretical references and case studies. Drawings and cartographies are used as the main tool for the development of interpretive hypotheses. This opens up a broad field of reflection on the diversity of territorial patterns and intervention strategies and projects on contemporary territory.
