Students are encouraged to record in a graphic diary theirs observations about archaeological sites and musealizations. These records will  consitute a personal construction that will be later incorporated in contexts of design and reflexion production.

Learning Outcomes

The objective of the Study Trip is to ensure that students have a direct contact with the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Campi Flegrei. They will examine, at first, places and their specificities, as well as the excavation and preservation activities, and the different realities and problems of individual archaeological sites.
