This module addresses the broad theme of urban regeneration and ecological transition, emphasizing on environmental enhancement of urban open spaces through experimenting design proposals using principles of sustainable designing, applied to a specific case study. 

Through scientific contents and disciplinary knowledge of environmental design, urban design, landscape design and architectural technology, this project-based module provides an introduction to theoretical principles, technological tools and design methods.

The aim is:

to explore the essential technical aspects for achieving high quality design strategies and implementation outcomes. 

to foster critical thinking, evaluation capacity, and a creative approach to the use, redefine and redesign of urban open spaces to create high-quality and sustainable urban environments.
