0/12

Objectives of the course

Tasks that are part of the subject

Project location

A brief history of the study area

Organisation of work

❗ Module on Discord, how it works?

When we work alone and when we work in a group

Work in the project team

Rules we don’t break when working online

Principles of evaluation and timetable for the module

Gamification of point collection and its principles

Analysis and synthesis of spatial conditions

This part of the course will first discuss issues related to urban space, and urban design methodology. Then during the workshop, under the guidance of the Trainers, your task will be to prepare spatial analyses. Each group of analyses will be accompanied by step-by-step questions to help you with their implementation. The tutors are available online all the time during the workshop and ready to help you. After the workshop, you will send the material to the designated cloud address. After reviewing the material, the Tutor will give you a correction of the presented material during the individual online consultation, but this is not an evaluation. Evaluation of this part will take place during the final discussion.

How do we discover and explore design considerations in the city? Introduction

Divide into task teams and choose leaders

Choose a person responsible for the graphical consistency of the output materials

Site visit or photographic documentation

Preparation of field inventory and inventory map (in group)

Preparation of an inventory of greenery (in a group)

Special group to make a 3D model of the surrounding area including neighbouring areas

Workshop – analysis and synthesis of spatial conditions

Scale in urban design

What do we see on the maps? What elements do we show flat?

What do we see in space (city/downtown/development area)? What should be shown spatially?

Create a map of location and orientation

What was before the city? What natural elements occur in space?

Create a map of the topography of the area with the direction of water flow

How do you rate green areas?

Prepare a green analysis

What you can’t see is the ownership structure and legal?

What functions do we meet in it?

Perform a functional analysis

Perform an analysis of the feature structure and current users

What groups can we divide them into?

Are the functions diverse in terms of audiences?

How many users appear and at what times?

How can we show day activity of users in the study area?

What does public transport, vehicular transport and the number of parking spaces, pedestrians, bicycles, alternative forms of transport and places of their stations look like?

Perform a communication analysis

What spatial forms are characterized by it and why are some of them important, others less so?

Prepare compositional analysis

What is the history of the place and what objects do we find in space?

Create a map highlighting objects of cultural value.

What can we say about the inhabitants of this area and its immediate surroundings?

Explore and show functional connections with neighboring districts

Consider additional analysis

How to prepare a correct synthesis of the analyses?

Prepare a graphical and schematic synthesis

Prepare a coherent presentation for discussion

Check You knowledge about area.

Project assumptions and inspiration

After we have familiarized ourselves with the conditions, identified the problems, and noted the possibilities of the site, in design we move on to establishing design assumptions. We will revolve around terms and policies and strategies from various fields related to sustainable development. As in the previous task, first there will be an introduction, then a workshop during which you and your partners will prepare design assumptions, look for inspiration. The next step will be feedback and this topic will close with a joint presentation.

Mix of functions

Our European Future – Green Deal

Workshop – project assumptions and inspiration

Discussion – as a group, consider what is important to you in urban policy-making

How can we show a synthesis of the idea?

Describe your idea in a slogan, graphic, logo

Why are we looking for inspiration?

Look for examples of similar projects or urban, architectural, landscape or other inspirations

How to show preliminary ideas in an attractive way?

Prepare schemes for the use of ideas in your space

Methods for making spatial design assumptions

Prepare a presentation board of the project assumptions

Sustainable design quiz

Implementation of the project

In this phase of the module, we move on to the actual design. The phase is divided into two phases, during which three workshops will be held. In the first phase, we will answer the question: Where do we start designing in a comprehensive urban design project? It will conclude with a discussion and closure of the concept. The next phase and workshop will focus on the technical finishing of drawings according to technical standards. And the final workshop will be the development of the public space concept, model and presentation.

Urban design glossary

Here you will find the concepts that appear on the course and with which you should be familiar. These terms will appear in the quizzes, but you should also use them in your discussion or presentation, as this will be one of the things we will pay attention to.
