Mediterranean University Reggio di Calabria

Department of Architecture and Territory - dArTe

The main goal of dArTe department is to offer the maximum knowledge and optimum skills aimed at obtaining a significant positive impact on territorial development, in close relation to the salient issues of national and international debate on the territory as well as the architectural planning and the city. The internationalization is the focus of the dArTe Department in accordance with the guidelines of the Mediterranean University. Through the RED program - Research, Erasmus, Educational, Doctorate - several actions have been implemented aimed at the construction of the European and Euro-Mediterranean Space, recognizing in their disciplinary and unique location of the Mediterranean University an identity factor for the process of international comparison. Participation in integrated projects and the potential of the mobility propose the aim of building a high-Euro-Mediterranean training system with particular reference to the countries of the Mediterranean, the Balkans, the Eastern European countries and those with a strong Italian emigration like Argentina and Latin America.

Landscape_inProgress is a research and design structure within the dArTe Department that investigates the “Landscapes next to come”, that is on those landscapes under construction, often in function of great works or special events that change and distort the existing connotations.

The Laboratory is intended as a multidisciplinary space interconnected between the architecture, the city and the landscape, where different figures – architects, landscape architects, agronomists, photographers, artists – are involved in interpretation of places action.

The idea is to return to territories, retracing them through a more mobile point of view, in a simultaneous action of approaching and leaving able to capture and list values and images of the reality in its complexity and heterogeneity.

The Landscape in_Progress Laboratory works with Public Authorities and Nonprofit, conducting Consulting and Research activities, ensuring an integrated and innovative approach for the study of the city and landscape.
