LA4002 DESIGN 8 / LA4010 DESIGN 7a SPECIALISATION a – SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL DESIGN

The studio aims to develop novel design typologies that will enhance the ecological resilience and sustainability of urban and peri-urban landscapes. Students are asked to place landscapes within the larger geopolitical and socioeconomic forces that shape them and characterize the socio-ecological functions of sites at multiple scales. Application of various quantitative and qualitative methods through interdisciplinary approaches will contribute to determining the configuration, sizing, and functions of design projects.
