Urban Landscape: Design Studio

Urban Landscape: design studio

In the course two specific dimensions of urban landscape architecture will be elaborated and integrated: the city as an earth-life landscape system and the city as a socio-spatial environment. The project outcome includes a spatial vision addressing the sustainable metabolism and systemic form of a specific urban landscape. Next to that you are to develop a design proposal for a particular urban landscape component (green-blue site, specific pattern or structure), addressing socio-spatial and physical aspects and criteria. A well-defined and thoroughly elaborated landscape architectural intervention in the balance between privatized and public space) is expected. You have to illustrate how the proposal contributes to large-scale and long-term urban sustainability goals and how social behaviour influences the design and responds to the result.
