Innehåll

The studio course has the city’s public space as a theme which includes both formal and informal spaces. The emphasis is to consider and to design a complex urban space. The types of public urban spaces can vary from year to year between parks, central paths to squares etc. The task is based on a program that defines different claims made on the site. A joint field trip is made to the site.

Previously approved landscape methods for identification, analysis and interpretation of sites is used and deepened, and alternative methods are presented and promoted in the design process to an elaborated proposal. The student should consciously relate to site conditions and impacts on various aspects of sustainable development.
