Kursinnehåll
The course is an in-depth study of spatial planning with an emphasis on sustainability from a social and ecological perspective. The course aims for the student to develop knowledge and understanding of strategies for creating a built environment that is based on the local (social, environmental, and physical) characteristics. The aim is to further develop the students’ skills in spatial planning, in formulating strategies for shaping the physical environment within a local context as well as communicating these strategies. The theoretical base of the course is design thinking and the relationship between a place and its spatial, social, geographical, and political contexts.
The course includes:
- An in-depth look at the conditions and processes of physical planning with a focus on different factors of influences
- An introduction to theories and concepts used for the analysis of the residents’ relationship to the urban landscape and their participation in planning for sustainability.
- The basics in presenting the spatial organizations of urban space, taking into account the relationship between the physical space and the social space at different scales.
Within the framework of the course there might be a study trip abroad(which is then self-financed by the student) or a local field trip, which will be carried out in preparation for the design work, providing students with an opportunity to examine and evaluate the issues that have been addressed in the analysis phase in real life situation.
