Project Description
In this seminar, key topics of high relevance for the spatial development of contemporary urban landscapes are taught. These are approached in a transdisciplinary manner and embedded in a holistic view. Based on the principles of decarbonisation, adaptation to climate change, the fostering of biodiversity and an inclusive and equitable distribution of space, spatial design is understood as a key to the spatial discourse. During the semester, students engage intensively with a selected topic and develop their own design approach based on theoretical texts and case studies from practice.
Teaching Method
Seminar with input lectures and active participation of the students in group discussions, assignments etc.
