Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is given in the second quadrimester. It is based on a project-based pedagogy, involving a client in the initial stage of the analysis. City officials are hence invited to present the problem at hand and frame the context of the project.
The course is based on group working, most of the times combining different disciplines.
Student work is regularly monitored during the course, through collective workshops, where they can learn from each other in practice.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Presence is required at the class.
Group working is based on regular attendence of the course.
