This course is offered the last time in FS23.
3 credits3GS. Wälty, H. Klumpner
AbstractThe project addresses critical issues of urban planning by using cutting-edge technology for analysis and communication. Students actiely engage with building and zoning regulations ((i) reconstruct, (ii) reformulate and (iii)simulate/virtualise in web-based 4D urban models) as well as maintain an ongoing exchange through (peer) review activities in class.
Learning objective- Capture and analyse the past and present; and design, present and
discuss future living spaces in 4D.
- Read, understand, deconstruct and formulare new zoning and
building rules (BNO)s.
- Set up an ArcGIS Urban model and integrate current and new urban
rules and visualize/simulate dvelopment scenarios/variations of
uran designs.
- Learn from students from different disciplines through teamwork and
by peer-reviewing each other's work.
- System thinking through causel loops.
ContentThis course addresses the crucial urban transformation issues of our time at the 10-minute-neighbourhood level. Technology, communicaiton and online learning materials are leveraged and opportunities for online interaction are combined with traditional pllace-based teaching methods. The course can be taught as elective with exercise and as an integrated discipline in design classes. In addition, the online material can be used for self-paced learning.
(i) Students actively engage with building and land use regulations by reconstruction them in a 3D model, formulating new 3D regulations based on design and land use criteria, and simulating possible developments based on existing building criteria in4D. As students from different disciplines work in teams and share knowledge through mutual work and peer reviews, they can learn from each other across disciplines.
(ii) Urban design lecturers can benefit from being relived of the task of teaching students software as part of the design class.
Prerequisites / NoticeA time and workload (in addition to the course) of 70 hours is to be expected.
