Sustainable neighbourhood planning

part 1

The theoretical course teaches integration in the urban design process of the quantitative ansd qualitative criteria of high-quality urban public spaces.
The design studio aims to integrate the theoretical skills developed into the practice of an urban project.The specificity of the project concerns the scale of the neighbourhood. Townscope software and a lighting plan are used to generate comfortable urban public spaces.

part 2

The theoretical course teaches integration in the urban design process of the main sustainable issues. The theoretical teaching is illustrated by many concrete examples of eco-districts as well as contemporary public spaces.
The design studio aims to integrate the theoretical skills developed into the practice of an urban project.The specificity of the project concerns the scale of the neighbourhood. The criteria of the Walloon "Sustainable Neighborhood Workbook" are integrated into the project design process.
