The course is divided into the following teaching modules:
INTRO Introductory day to the course in which the program of activities, the teaching methodology and the staff of tutors who will help students prepare the final book are presented. During the day, the areas of study will be assigned and groups of students will be formed.
VIDEO CONFERENCE Video conferences held by industry experts on issues related to the assigned design theme. The video conference lasting about 45 minutes is followed by a debate with interventions and questions from the students.
SITE INSPECTIONS Investigations conducted on site for the purpose of drawing up a notebook of notes on the criticalities/potentialities of the assigned area. During the site inspections, the design strategies will begin to be outlined, which will then be defined in the second part of the course.
CASE STUDIES Online research activities on specific topics, carried out in the classroom by students with the help of tutors for the purpose of identifying projects and realizations of transformations of urban coastal strips to be taken as a design reference.
TALK STAKEHOLDERS Meeting with the main stakeholders in the field of study, during which they are asked for their expectations/needs/points of view on how they would like the coastal strip of Montesilvano to be redeveloped.
WORKSHOP Exercise in the classroom and at home where the students, guided by the professor and tutors, are called to try their hand at developing a redevelopment project for the coastal area assigned to them by identifying three specific design themes for each group.
