Description
In the early weeks the course concentrates on the exploration, analysis and documentation of selected sites in Florence, with emphasis on perception, representation and description of the environment. Students develop these concepts through pictures, drawings and written texts collected in a workbook, during sessions of life drawings on-site. Environmental design approach is described by the work of architects and artists, which will complement the analysis of the morphological components of landscape, buildings and furniture. Students will learn about techniques of fast rendering in perspective as used by architects and designers. In the last week students are engaged in translating their Florentine experience into the language of design in the reuse of an existing site in town.
