examMode

At the end of the cycle of lectures, students are allowed to take the relevant assessment test in the forms previously approved by the Degree Course Council. The exam is oral and is based on the discussion of a paper (report) to be implemented through the use of GIS. This test is aimed at verifying the achievement of the objectives set for the specific discipline. The exam takes place in the forms established by the University Teaching Regulations. A specific report is drawn up for the execution, signed by the President and the members of the commission and by the student examined. The mark is expressed in thirtieths, with possible praise. Passing the exam requires the awarding of a grade not lower than eighteen / thirty and involves the assignment of the corresponding university educational credits.

Understanding the factors and processes that underlie the genesis and evolution of the soil, as well as their synergies, is essential to define their characteristics and qualities and to appreciate their functions as a producer of goods and services. Morphology, genesis, properties, classification and distribution of soils as natural bodies of the landscape with ecosystem functions.

courseProgram

Teaching activities are aimed at providing the theoretical and basic knowledge on the main technological solutions that can be adopted on an urban scale and at promoting the development of a critical capacity for managing complex information connected to the adoption of "Green-Blue Infrastructures (GBI) " approaches and strategies, and the use of technologies, systems, components and materials for the design of open spaces and the urban envelope, in an ecological and sustainable way.

The theoretical lessons (40 hours) will focus on the following topics:
- Introduction to the ecological principles underlying Natural Capital and eco-system services linked to the main challenges as climate change and environmental risks, to the measures prevention, mitigation and adaptation technologies, and project strategies to be adopt;
- Classification of Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), description of the main technologies, materials and products to be used in the project of open spaces and the urban envelope;
- Introduction to artificial and natural materials (e.g. asphalt, cement, concrete, ceramic, stoneware, rammed earth and concrete, wood, stone and marble, brick, clinker, drainage materials, advanced materials, etc.), classification principles and general characteristics, structure, chemical-physical and mechanical properties, production cycle, performance aspects, dimensional characteristics and methods of use;
- Reading of the resolution method of some construction details within the specifications achievements examined;
- Reading of the design parameters to be used for an informed choice of materials and products, technological requirements and applicability to the project.
The application part (8 hours) will concern the development of an exercise:
- Introduction to technical information on building materials and products;

examMode

The exam consists of an oral interview around the topics and problems addressed during the lectures and the various Seminars held by experts, and a discussion on the activity of the Workshop to be summarized in a group power point presentation (groups of maximum 3 students).
For those who have taken part in the activities of the Workshop, the exam will start from the presentation concerning the "laboratory" experience at the Colosseum Archaeological Park (organized according to the program). Each student will present part of the general work prepared by the group (20/25 minutes). As specified, the work will be presented in power point and – at the end – the group will propose a very small project in order to solve one of the critical issues encountered during the analysis of the area. Finally, the exam board will ask each student to answer specific questions about the history of the garden and landscape. The questions will be of a general nature and related to lectures and textbooks. The final grade of each student will depend on the answers given to the questions proposed.
For those who have not attended at least 75% of the workshop activities, the analysis of the laboratory experience will be replaced by the study of n. 2 texts of your choice (to be read critically and framed in the context in which it is placed) among those recommended by the teacher at the end of each lesson (reference bibliography).

courseProgram

The courses topics are collected into the following three main thematic groups.
I. Economics: an outline of the history of economic thought, the economic system, the market, demand and supply curves, outlines of consumer theory and production theory,
II. Environmental and natural resources economics: classification of goods, concept of externality, natural resources and scarcity, market failures, social costs, private costs, taxes and subsidies, economy of forest resources and international environmental policies.
III. Economic evaluation: definition and aims of the estimate, methods and procedures, hints of financial mathematics, the value of wood and the forests values, the evaluation of pollution, fire damages, the Total Economic Value, introduction to cost and benefit analysis, estimative metric calculation and project evaluations.

examMode

Final exam: oral in front of the class.
The candidate will be asked three questions covering the whole program. 60% of the final grade depends on the knowledge of the theoretical concepts acquired and the ability to link them to other relevant concepts related to environmental economics applied to landscape management and forestry sectors.
During the exam the student will be asked to apply the economics concepts to concrete cases; the capacity to transfer the studied concepts to reality represents 20% of the final grade.
The final grade also takes into account participation in lectures and classroom exercises and group work (20%).
For students who do not attend the lessons, the acquired skills will be assessed through a further question relating to the development phase of a cost and benefit analysis for a green infrastructure project in an urban or periurban environment (20%).

Students with (certified) learning difficulties can ask to take a written test, consisting in 10 multiple choice questions and 2 open questions, to be answered with 20 lines at most. The Professor reserves the right to ask for oral clarifications if deemed necessary on a case-by-case basis.

The lessons, grouped into four cycles, will focus on the following subjects:

The fundamentals of architectural restoration
- Basic terminology
- Key elements of the history and theory of restoration
- Extension of the disciplinary field of restoration; from the ‘individual’ and ‘unique’ monument to the whole anthropised territory
- Concept of environment and protection of the landscape

Knowledge as the indispensable premise behind every preservative action
- Main knowledge-gathering methods and tools

From recognition of the ‘values’ to be safeguarded to the project: use of the acquired knowledge to define the guidelines of the intervention
- Dialectics between conservation and development
- Disciplinary and interdisciplinary links
- Landscape aspects and planning of the territory
- Historical reasons and contemporary requirements

Current legislation

Implementation: all acquired knowledge will be put into practice during a hands-on exercise on a topic proposed by the lecturer.

examMode

The final exam will include an oral conversation on the topics taught during lessons and a discussion on the drawings made during the practical exercise.
Evaluation will be based on the students’ understanding of the knowledge imparted during lessons and their ability to think and work by themselves.
