Critical Urban Studies
In this seminar, participants will learn about the evolution of urban space and current practices. We will examine the most important dimensions that influence the development of towns and cities today and how factors such as transportation, politics, and culture are reflected in the spatial and temporal organization of the urban environment. Through case studies of urban space and architecture, the course will also focus on analysing residential spatial space by studying the interrelationships between the users of space and the designed space.
Using discussions and presentations, students are encouraged to analyse their spatial experience by applying theoretical concepts.
