Omschrijving	The Urbanism course is addressing a specific topic in the field of urbanism and urban planning: refurbishment and densification of cities and urban agglomerations. The students must develop an urbanism and design proposal for an actual question that is relevant, urgent and debated in different European contexts. The question of refurbishment and densification is highly relevant in planning practice, policy and research since it deals with the question of land consumption, mixed/fragmented use, urban density and is related to the conceptual debates of compact cities, smart growth and sustainable cities. The students have to develop design proposals for a planning and design problems/questions and therefore will be closely connected issues from planning practice and will gain experiences on how to deal with such problems and prepare themselves for planning practice. 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 topics and projects are real world (planning) problems suitable sites are chosen. The students will work in design 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 (ie. obtained in the RO3 course) are required!
