The Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design Study Program ends with a final exam involving presentation and discussion of the degree thesis.  

It is developed under the guidance of a member of the School teaching staff in the role of supervisor called on to approve its contents.  

Degree has to select and develop a subject theme coherent with the educational content of students’ program of study and demonstrate the analytical, critical and design skills acquired by students over their entire program of study in both written form and discussion.  

Works must be developed with reference to one of the fundamental themes of architectural design and urban and environmental planning with special attention to issues relating to landscape design, regeneration and re-use of public spaces in urban and suburban contexts and to the requalification of open spaces and infrastructure.  

They can be design or theoretical/experimental:  

– design degrees must consist of an original proposal to be presented by candidates by means of graphic elaborations on a suitable scale accompanied by theoretical support dissertations and, if appropriate, other means of formal expression. Analogue and/or digital and plastic scale models with the most appropriate materials are also asked to describe and present the project; 

– theoretical/experimental degrees must take on a significant and innovative theme and must contain an original analytical, assessment and criticism component in addition to an appropriate bibliography. Theoretical theses, too, can be accompanied by graphic and iconographical elaborations. 

Dissertations can be individual or group with a maximum of 3 authors studying on the same study program.  

In the case of group works, the individual contributions of the various authors must be clearly stated and evident. 

The degree Program is a minimum of 6-months-long path starting with selection of supervisor and opening a position for Laurea sessions.
