Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation (PCTO)
The Territorial Pole of Mantua also designs and implements these pathways with a view to orientation, for the purpose of a correct choice of the university course of study and, therefore, of the future profession. Moreover, these experiences constitute a relevant opportunity, on the part of students, to experience more closely the educational offerings and the places where university life takes place.
Archive Projects
- Alberti to scale
Students were guided through an educational course that promoted a deeper understanding of Leon Battista Alberti's monuments, particularly his production in the city of Mantua. The study also involved some of the wooden models of the works used during the 1994 exhibition dedicated to the great artist and now housed at the Mantua Pole of the Milan Polytechnic. Students at the Redeemer in Mantua collaborated on a guidebook focusing on the figure of the architect.
- A mural for architecture
The object of the activity was the execution of a project to upgrade the walls of the atrium of the university building through the creation of a mural on the theme: Architects and Architecture in the World. Authors of the mural gift were the students of the Liceo Artistico of Guidizzolo (MN).
Summer School "Studying Architecture in Mantua" first edition and second edition.
Hosted with a scholarship in our city, the participants were able to take part in frontal lectures on topics related to architecture (from surveying to sustainability to the basics of design) and in application/laboratory phases. During this experience, students were able to understand the figure of the architect and his possible professional uses; in the application phase they were, in addition, familiarized with surveying tools, while learning, at the same time, how to manage the dynamics and problems of teamwork.
- Winter School "Communicating Architecture"
The different themes revolved around the central issue of communication in the world of Architecture, examining the role of print and web journals, the importance of newspapers, photography and exhibition reviews, and even an analysis of the influence of new media in popularization.
