The small exhibition "Archaeological Landscapes in the Drawings of Ten Twentieth Century Architects" was held in the School of Architecture at Sapienza University in Rome from 1st October to 31st December 2019 to inaugurate a new teaching path, the Erasmus Joint Master Degree in Architecture Landscape Archaeology (ALA EMJMD), promoted by the Sapienza University of Rome together with the National Technical University of Athens, the University of Coimbra and the Federico II University of Naples and supported by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) through the European Union's Erasmus+ programme. It is the first result of a joint effort that leads to the training of international students in the field of archaeological enhancement.The exhibition wanted to put the attention on the importance of manual drawing for the design thinking, and pursued this intent by proposing ten architects of the XX century and their ideation process for the development of their works in relationship with archaeology. In fact, we believe that manual drawing was, and remains, for the architect, the primary tool for understanding the space and for maturing his own design research.
