The SEL course, lasting one year, will jointly three components - Settlement, Environment and Landscape - considering their inseparable complementarity for the management of the reality around us. It will be a unitary course, led by lecturers who will perform the different parts of a common path.
The historic component, carried out in the first semester, will face the phenomenon "City" over time, and its manifold representations such as maps, charts, plans.
