Planning and Design Methods I
Courses:
4.1.1 Reflections upon Planning and Design Methods- 4.1.2 Project-related Seminar I
- 4.1.3 Project-related Seminar II
Basic idea of the module
Various, up-to-date methods of planning and design methods used in practice will be taught and compared with one another. Methods from closely related disciplines will also be referred to, such as:
- formulating prognoses in urban planning
- design work in architecture
- risk and impact analysis in landscape ecology
- and others
Based on these insights students will be able to develop there own methodology in project planning and also become acquainted with different planning cultures (interface with the Modules Planning and Design in Europe I + II)
Learning outcomes
Students will review their own understanding and attitude towards the planning and design methods, which they have previously learned. Achievement of a common level of understanding of these methods. Development of style and self-assurance in dealing with these methods.
In particular:
- Knowledge of large-scale planning methods, e.g. impact and risk analysis, SWOT
- an understanding of approaches to urban, social and regional planning
- knowledge of different concepts and methods of describing landscape (including the European component)
- understanding of design methods, theories of perception and mental processes in behavioural research
- reflections on the relationship between analysis and intuition in the design processability to develop a logical, methodical basis for a project including the necessary (digital) working steps
- ability to develop analysis and design as a total concept
- ability to control analysis and design processes as well as their critical review and, if applicable, to make changes.
