This module is based on students’ knowledge of basic analysis and planning processes in engineering and environment. Students develop an understanding of the protection, planning, design, construction and management of landscape and open space in the context of sustainable urban and regional development and green infrastructure. Students are aware of open space functions, categories, planning instruments, levels and methods as well as the professional field and stakeholders involved. They understand and can assess exemplary examples for design, construction and management of landscape and open space.
Students are expected to prove an adequate level of self-guided research and reflection regarding content and methodology. They can analyse and assess topics, methods, instruments and strategies in an exemplary area and in the context of urban and rural development. Issues of open space planning and design are understood in the context of the professional field of environmental engineering, urban planning and design, management of soil and water as well as landscape architecture and landscape construction regarding the functions of resource management, nature conservation and recreation.
Students are able to present their findings in seminar discussions and activiely participate in debates with professional stakeholders, also in relation to their individual educational and cultural background.
Knowledge of basic analysis and planning processes in engineering and environment. Experience in seminar and project work.
