The Blended Intensive Programme “Unveiling Medieval Monastic Dynamics. Traditional and digital approaches for landscape, architecture, heritage (M_Dyn)” aims to develop a didactic approach for the study of religious landscapes, in order to understand their diachronical evolution, since the Middle-Ages, as well as its past and current values.
 
The course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to understand a historical landscape through theoretical classes and practical activities, joining on-site and off-site methodologies, traditional and digital technologies.
 
Lectures and practical activities will focus on the examination of medieval archival documents through historical, cultural and ecological lenses; the acquisition, management and analysis of data from digital survey technologies; the introduction of data in GIS environments.
