The landscape design workshops, in the various years of the course, are aimed at enabling students to acquire design skills, understood as the ability to prefigure improvements to the landscape taking into account its complexity.
To develop skills for reading the interrelationships between ecological, cultural, economic and social dimensions, in an evolutionary perspective and strongly linked to specific contexts.
To this end, the laboratories are organized as integrated courses, characterized by an interdisciplinary approach that interconnects, through design experimentation, skills in ecology, biology, forestry and urban agriculture, and earth sciencesThe "Final landscape design laboratory" of the third year consists of three integrated modules, which include "Landscape design", "Urban design, squares and residential spaces", "Productive landscape design". It constitutes the final laboratory experience of the three-year degree course in Landscape Design, in which the student can put to use the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous two years.In particular, the landscape design module aims to provide students with technical and critical skills to tackle the landscape project taking into account the complexity of evolutionary relationships that exist between the physical, cultural, social and economic environment, addressing the main contemporary challenges (climate change, loss of biodiversity public health, social inclusion) by applying these skills to a specific study context

Ability to apply knowledge
- Knowing how to apply the knowledge acquired over the different years, in the different disciplinary fields, in an interconnected and integrated way
- Knowing how to construct a project proposal in a coherent, logical and reasoned way
-
Ability to understand
- knowing how to interpret the landscape in its complex interrelationships (physical-environmental, historical, cultural, economic, etc)
- know how to analyze projects in their strategic, technical and procedural aspects

Evaluation skills
- knowing how to evaluate the landscape in terms of functioning, risks, potential, expectations and values ​​in an interdisciplinary manner
- knowing how to evaluate plans and projects with reference to sustainability, effectiveness, relevance and coherence criteria

Ability to communicate
- Knowing how to argue investigations, evaluations and design choices through different tools: graphic representation (conceptual schemes, maps, technical drawings, photomontages, renderings); texts and elaborations on numerical data (indicators, infographic targets); video presentations

Learning ability
- Learn discipline-specific terms and languages
- Logically connect the knowledge acquired.
- Identify the most relevant themes of the topics

The "Final landscape design laboratory" of the third year consists of three integrated modules, which include "Landscape design", "Urban design, squares and residential spaces", "Productive landscape design". It constitutes the final laboratory experience of the three-year degree course in Landscape Design, in which the student can put to use the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous two years.
In particular, the "urban design, squares and residential spaces" module aims to provide the student with the cultural and methodological tools to address the issue of designing open urban spaces in relation to built architecture.
Through lectures and laboratory activities, the course aims to develop in the student the learning conditions to acquire the following knowledge, skills and competences:
- Knowledge of issues related to urban planning, with particular reference to public space;
- Development of skills in graphic processing of project drawings. Drawing, in the broadest sense of representation model, which includes two-dimensional drawings, virtual three-dimensional models and physical models, is seen as a heuristic tool for developing the design idea.
- Ability to develop a public space project by dealing with the urban scale of built architecture.
