scheda docente | materiale didattico

Programma

The course “Transitional landscapes. Heritage making and mindscapes in time of global change” is structured in two main parts, intersected by small scale activities that involve the students’ participation throughout the whole duration of the course (oral presentations, short texts or drawings, etc.). Students will work in group of 3-4 people.
The first engages in a cross-disciplinary debate intersecting heritage, architecture, social innovation, urban practice and psychology. It will include seminars held by scholars and practitioners from different fields to dive into the multiple – urban, human, non-human – layers composing the legacy of the city, considering their impact on social and mental wellbeing.
The second part will present a selection of national and international case studies, with a specific focus on some historical and present-day experiences in Rome and in the Lazio region. To explore the production of new urban common by means of heritage, the course will include site visits in some Living Labs of the city. Particularly, it will consider the Vigne Nuove Lab, activated in the district with the same name, where some of the activities of the CHANGES project (EU funded) will take place, and local experiences such as Museo della Mente (https://www.museodellamente.it/museo-laboratorio-della-mente/) and Mente in rete.
The course will conclude with the presentation of students’ research results, discussed in a final seminar collectively designed.
