Lecture Series for Master UI (BGU) students

Lecture Series (3ECTS) + Compulsory Practice Seminar (3ECTS)

The module provides systemic insight into basic principles of Urban Planning and Design, Urban (Re-) Development, based on Sustainable Urbanism. Focal aspects are the perception and exploration of key challenges of transformation, techniques of problem identification and conceptualization of resolution strategies in the urban realm. Presentation and application of exemplary morphologic and physiologic indicators of urban structure as well as the illustration of urban regenerations processes in best practise urban projects confronts the student with a repertoire of possibilities to integrate complex spatial, aesthetic, social, cultural, ecological and sustainable qualities into contemporary living environments. Physical encounters with the city are featured for studying important urban settings and city phenomena in real life.

Study goals:
After attending the lecture and completing the exercises, the students are able to recognize and understand current patterns of transformation of contemporary urban and suburban structures including connections between ecological, societal and economic factors. Based on the presentation of examples, students can reflect and understand basic ideas and approaches towards more sustainble living environments and can make connections with the focus of their major field of study.

The Module 60243 consists of two parts (A+B) and will be credited with 6 ECTS when both parts are passed successfully.
Part A (3ECTS, group work): Lecture series and workshop (completion of one assignment, that will be developed during workshop sessions and presented in the final session.
