| General description |
Urbanism 5 is focused on the development of urban planning and design competences. For this reason, it follows an eminently practical orientation, addressing some of the most relevant issues in contemporary urban practice, not least aspects of sustainability, equality, management, economics as well as the legal framework and planning processes. Learning is structured around a series of practical exercises and course projects, in which the concepts and tools introduced in the lecture sessions are applied. The course project will address an unfinished area of the city, typically equivalent to a Not Consolidated Urban Land (in the planning jargon), in which an urban regeneration operation adapted to current and future conditions is relevant. The urban figure of reference will be the Special Interior Reform Plan (PERI), which should aim to provide this area with the necessary infrastructure, integration of uses and building types, based on the formalization of the public and private collective space, on the improvement of urbanization, and in the adequate response to existing conditions, through regenerative responses in its environmental and building aspects. The subject will also support the Workshop of the ninth semester, following the calendar, guidelines and exercises agreed with the subject Architectural Projects 8, which coordinates such Workshop. |
