Omschrijving	The Urbanism course is addressing a specific topic in the field of urbanism and urban planning: reconsidering density in different forms of urbanity. The students must develop a design proposal for an actual question that is relevant, urgent and debated in different European contexts. The question of densification is highly relevant in planning practice, policy and research since it deals with the question of land consumption, mixed/fragmented use, new forms of living together and is related to the conceptual debates of smart growth and sustainable cities. The students have to develop design proposals at neighbourhood scale, address planning and design problems/questions, and will gain experiences on how to deal with such problems. Students are now at the point to work independently on their assignment, working in design teams developing design proposals in the wider field of urbanism. Research by design and transdisciplinary research are guiding principles for the design studio. The students will work in teams and will be consulted in the design atelier. The design project will be accompanied by lectures, guest lectures and digital workshops. For example, depending on the existing critical mass, the students will have the possibility to use cad, illustrator and virtual reality). Several feedback- and presentation settings will give the opportunity to train and exercise communication skills and to present and discuss the project in different development stages with representatives of public administration and colleagues from consulting agencies from architecture and planning practice. The final products of the course will be a set of deliverables with a special focus on visual communication and will include the production of posters, portfolio, infographics and a report Knowledge and practical skills in Photoshop, sketch-up, GIS (or A-Cad) and the Adobe Suite (i.e. obtained in the RO3 course) are required!

Entreevoorwaarden	There are no entry requirements, but knowledge and good practical skills in photoshop, sketch-up, GIS (or A-Cad) and the Adobe Suite (ie. Obtained in the RO3 course) are required.
Opmerkingen	Due to the circumstances there is an important change in the organization of Urbanism Atelier. The team of lecturers have decided to go for a hybrid organization of the course that consists of an online component in block 1b and a 7 days intensive workshop during the exam period of block 2b (second half of June 2021). This solution offers the onsite components of the course, including model making, real-life interactions and group dynamics, while avoiding the risks and uncertainties of bringing a high number of students together during this fall. The online part in 5 weeks of 1b will include: - the theoretical input of the course (online lectures), - 2 online workshops (technical skills), - submission of one individual and one group assignment - fieldwork for the group assignment. In order to connect the two parts, we will start the summer workshop with students' presentations of the accomplished work during 1b, which sets the ground for the design process that they will go through during the workshop.
