Content

Following Project I, students develop a design for a specific location in Vienna.

The course includes a project-based examination of open space themes, including park, plaza, and residential green space, although an emphasis is given to public and semi-public space.

In the course of theoretical and practical work, emphasis is given to the recognition, understanding, and implementation of design ideas; spatial perception and definition; urban ecology and planning contexts; and the use and function of public open space.

The entire design process is translated exemplarily onto a specific place.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

As part of the course, students acquire the ability to carry out a creative design process under guidance, from the survey of the existing situation, idea and concept development to the preliminary design at a specific location.

The special features of the location in the urban planning and landscape context are recognized and analysed and serve as a central basis for the design process.

After the course, students will be able to examine, evaluate, reflect on and further develop their design proposals as well as actively and passively criticize them.

The ability to present their own work is acquired using plans and models in all phases of the process.
