Offer 1 with catalog number 4018533FNR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
In ‘spatial design’ students learn to develop a spatial vision for a particular site, and develop a more detailed spatial design for a particular area within the site. In the visioning phase of the exercise, students develop a program for built and unbuilt space, formulate ambitions for public space, open and green space, and mobility.
In the more detailed design, students are made familiar with the basic ingredients and components of the urban fabric in terms of dimensions of public space, built program and (residential) typologies. This is translated into a masterplan and a 3D representation (a digital and/or a physical model).
In developing the vision and the masterplan students acquire a basic understanding of the following dimensions of spatial design: sustainability, carrying capacity, flexibility, spatial quality, co-production and participation, temporality and phasing, scale, hierarchy and subsidiarity.
The assignments are carried out in a design studio setting with individual and group tutoring by course titular and assistants. Lectures and guest seminars address particular questions such as residential typologies, open space design, real estate dynamics and project development.
Important: 'Spatial Design' relies on the analyses carried out in the course 'Methoden en technieken: ruimtelijke en morfologische analyse' from the first semester. Both courses deal with the same neighborhood and site within one academic year. Therefor both courses must be taken in the same academic year.
None.
Students can judge the qualities of various types of infrastructure in public space and their materiality
Students can judge the qualities of open spaces and the natural landscape, and acquire a basic knowledge of landscape design.
Students can judge the spatial qualities of various residential typologies and are able to organize them on a particular design site.
Students are able to organize an urban program on a particular site and understand the basic dimensions of various urban programs, of public and open space features.
Students can represent a spatial design graphically and in writing, using typical representations such as schemes, sections, roof plans, ground floor plans, 3D representations and explanatory and motivational texts
