Learning Outcomes of UE

The aim of this course is to give students the tools to analysze and compare different urban developments while integrating sustainable development aspects. The comparison of different programes and projects, which intend to make and invent new urban and architectural models, seeks to encourage students to integrate sustainable development criteria into their work. The reflection is organiszed around several key principles: understanding the changes of current practices, finding the technical and architectural solutions adopted to meet the new requirements, and manufacturing sustainable developments by professional architects.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Students describe, spaces of the city at different levels, searching for the overlap between architecture, public space and sustainable development. This requires an integrated and systemic approach considering both the purposes and principles of sustainable architecture and urban planning.
