Main research areas
Built Environment Education, strongly linked to visual education, is that special area of instruction which engages with the theory and practice of the deliverance of knowledge of the built environment, as well as with the strengthening of the connection between people and their own life-space. In contrast to passive observation, this kind of intervention inspires critical and analytical reception, and the analysis of the various environmental stimuli. The proactive, creative perspective developed in this way contributes to the acquisition of the appropriate skills for the creation of common life-space. At the center of this research lies the more detailed recognition of the activity of building, in a broader sense. It strives to take into account the instinctive activity of building in early childhood—which carries within itself the possibility of knowledge of the world—and the possibilities of the evolution and developability of the conscious planning attitude characteristic of architects.
