The course aims to foster abstract and three-dimensional thinking, encouraging students to develop personal insights grounded in the principles of creating space and urban environments. By focusing on key concepts such as spatial experience, context, function, user, scale, and formal composition at the urban scale, students will learn to view the design process as a research-driven endeavour. The course emphasizes the creative use of personalized data gathered during this process and promotes a design approach enriched by diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary knowledge. Additionally, students will be equipped to develop sustainable solutions for urban scale design challenges.
