Criticality in Research/Criticality as Praxis: Knowledge tools for designing urban futures

Pre-seminar coursework: Before participating in the seminar, students undertake 4 types of preparatory work over a period of 2 weeks prior to the 2.5-day group meeting:

• closely read 4 required theory literature texts and prepare a 4-sentence rhetorical précis for each theory text and circulate via mail to all participants (following guidelines provided);

• closely read 3 required critical writing texts

• prepare a 3-sentence critical précis of the critical position they want to develop with the paper (follow guidelines provided)

• prepare a 1-paragraph synopsis of their final paper topic



The aim of this 3rd module of the "Criticality" course series is to strengthen awareness of the range of critical thinking models available to the researcher in the landscape field. While critical research and practice is a cross-disciplinary activity, not restricted to landscape architects, we focus on landscape architecture to guarantee a shared area for our work, and to learn to recognize how products of a specific disciplined knowledge production practices (including but not limited to design research) contribute to the evolution of thought and action. The course takes a landscape architectural perspective on urban landscapes, but is very well suited for researchers from other design disciplines, or those interested in the field of design.



The course consists of a 2.5-day intensive seminar (20h), preceded by a preparation phase (ca 40h) with reading and short writing assignments, followed by a writing up phase (ca 60h) at distance.
