Course Contents | The course focuses on the review of the principles of sustainable urban planning. At the beginning, different theoretical positions introduce spatial planning as a process involving human communities, stakeholders, interests and powers impacting on the social structure and the physical space. In the continuation, environmental, social and economic sustainability is taught, in terms of the ethics for contemporary planning and the city architecture. At the same time students are getting familiar with basic elements of environmental, urban design and planning. Planning and design are proposed as the basic tools for promoting measured environmental qualities in urban or rural space. An integrated short project experiments on how changes to the built environment can increase sustainability levels through innovative strategies and concepts. | ||||||||

Planned learning activities and teaching methods | - Structure of Studio’s project: The course is both theoretical and laboratorial. Its development is as follows: Presentations and corrections are prepared in power point by the students. During the presentations the works of the preselected well-known architects will be discussed. - Presentations/Corrections: The presentations/corrections are arranged with the instructor of the course and last 15 minutes per team. Each team presents their work at least four (4) times during the semester. Each team chooses an architect, studies his philosophy of design within a global context: Works by program, Chronological development of the works and others.Then each team presents the most important works of the architect within a structural framework: the location, the relationship with the environment, functionality, morphology, spatiality, the Static /constructive system. - Report: The report should contain the detailed presentation of the topic through a text of about one thousand (1000) words and include as many images needed to complete pictographically the analysis. - Corrections/Final Presentation: Throughout each lecture-studio, comments and corrections of each team’s work are made by the instructor during the students’ presentations. Three key elements are considered for the grading of the work: Reading, Thought and Presentation - Final Presentation: In this last stage of the course all the work is presented in Power Point of all the teams and each team presents their final work for the final grade. Whichever team does not present their work four (4) times during the course is not graded. | ||||||||
