Courses
Semester One: Local Perspective
In the first semester the focus is the city scale and the concept of Sustainable Urban Recycling. This set of courses serves as an introduction to the concepts of urban structure and the possibilities for the reuse of urban forms.
The Design Studio ASBN02 course is taught in combination with Theory and Methods ASBN06 and the Subject Course ASBN45 to complement the semester.
Courses:
Design Studio: ASBN02 Sustainable Urban Recycling (15 hec)
Theory Seminar: ASBN06 Urban Recycling - Theory and Methods (7,5 hec)
Subject Course: ASBN45 Urban Quality and Urban Form (7,5 hec)
Semester Two: Regional Perspective
In the second semester, students are asked to shift their focus to the regional scale and importance of Sustainable Urban Landscape. In this semester students are expected to investigate critical issues in regional urban planning and are challenged to consider the ecological aspects of the site's landscape.
The Design Studio ASBN16 course is taught in combination with Theory Seminar ASBN11. Students can also choose one of the Subject Courses ASBN26, ABAN15 or AFON30 to complement the semester.
Courses:
Design Studio: ASBN16 Sustainable Urban Landscape (15 hec)
Theory Seminar: ASBN11 Urban Landscape - Theory and Methods (7,5 hec)
Subject Course: ASBN26 Landscape Architecture and Gardens (7,5 hec)
Subject Course: ABAN15 Climate Smart Architecture and Urban Design (7,5 hec)
Subject Course: AFON30 Architecture as Temporal Landscapes (7,5 hec)
Semester Three: Global Perspective
The third semester sets out an ambition for students to work between an understanding of the global dynamics shaping urban development and the unique features of a specific local place. Throughout the course Sustainable Urban Dynamics, the students are asked to investigate the design site's context through mapping exercises, analytical drawings, research on urban processes, and an evaluation of current best practices.
The Design Studio ASBN31 course is taught in combination with Theory Seminar ASBN41. Alternatively, the course Urban Shelter ABAN11 and Urban Shelter Theory ABAN06 can be taken. Students can also choose one of the Subject Courses ASBN36 or AAMN01 to complement the semester.
Courses:
Design Studio: Sustainable Urban Dynamics ASBN31 (15 hec)
Theory Seminar: Urban Dynamics - Theory and Methods ASBN41 (7,5 hec)
Design Studio: ABAN11 Urban Shelter (15 hec)
Theory Seminar: ABAN06 Urban Shelter - Theory (7,5 hec)
Subject Course: Urban Process ASBN36 (7,5 hec)
Subject Course: Human Environmental Frames - Building scale/Urban scale AAMN01 (7,5 hec)
Semester Four: Master's Degree Project
Spread over a two year period, the SUDes master's programme ends with each student completing a Design Thesis. With the help of a design tutor, each student spends the semester researching a topic of their choosing and develops a professional level design proposal for their design site. The individual master’s degree design thesis is viewed as a bridge into professional practice.
