The core structure of the course will contemplate:
The course takes a multidisciplinary approach, seeking to understand landscape history as well as contemporary theories and concepts adopted in studies of parks, gardens, squares, and other green areas.
It also considered the hybrid manifestations that occur in the landscape and that allows to observe it as a rupture of daily life, conditioned by the power over the habitat, the city, and the body; imaginary spaces, of resistances, polyphonic representations of life, death, love or even other circumstantial events.
In this dynamic, the discussion is interested in identifying the creation of public free spaces and the organization of landscapes where the imaginary, the resistances, the sounds, the historicities, the traditional representations of the different daily lives, are eventual attributes to dimension culture in the city. The intention is to work the landscape as absolutely other spaces that reveal in possible orders, even as a contestation of environments where we live.
