Studioprojekt - Transformation av urbana landskap

Information från kursledaren

The urban landscape is changing rapidly in front of our eyes. Large areas of post-industrial heritage are retrofitted into generic urban districts with little or no consideration to the site's specific qualities or conditions, resulting in immense resources being wasted.

What if there are other ways of transforming these sites, and what if such “other ways” also holds lessons for city building's engagement with the Global Sustainability Goals and transformations of urban landscapes in general?

In this course the concepts of “planning” versus “design” are scrutinized as well as the concepts such as “transformation”, “change”, “site” and “site specificity”. How are these concepts interpreted in contemporary landscape architecture? In what ways can design approaches in planning influence sustainability and have effects on the transformation of urban landscapes? What kinds of techniques for exploring site-specific qualities are available to us? And how do we convey and represent change actions that are beyond the conventional masterplans?

The course is built around one assignment that you will work towards from the very start, to develop a proposal for the transformation of the post-industrial landscape of Ifö Center in the town of Bromölla, Sweden. In addition to working on this assignment different learning activities are offered with the aim of feeding into the main assignment, such as methods for site explorations, literature seminars, lectures and workshops, stakeholder interviews etc.

A course book with most of the information that you will be needing will be available for you on the course's canvas page prior to course start.

We are really looking forward to collaborate with you!
