Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The objective is to strengthen the students’ ability to create functional urban design based on mobility and flows in the contemporary network city. This should be done by applying a wide field of contemporary information technologies such as interactive media, mediated surface design, mobility tracking technologies (GPS / RFID), mobile and digital networks, ICT software for urban flow simulation and design, mobile robotics and ‘intelligent’ cybernetics systems design.

Students who complete the module:

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge about contemporary information technologies and their practical design and implementation in the network city
• Must be able to understand the technical potentials in applying ‘intelligent’ technologies in urban design
• Must be able to understand and reflect on the use of the newest digital simulation tools, 3D programming, GIS and CAD programs

Skills

• Must be able to create design proposals and experiments applying new information technologies and software to mobility and flows in urban design of the network city
• Must be able to evaluate the solutions presented in the field and assess their values seen in the light of ‘intelligent’ technologies
• Must be able to use CAD and GIS programs to map and visualise relations between environmental, infrastructural and spatial parameters

Competences

• Must have competencies to create design proposals and concepts for urban mobility/flow and assess their implementation effects
