META-University

This module is concerned with the current theory and practice of sustainable urban development. Meta-U takes as a reference the “Brundtland definition” -- World Commission on Environment and Development.

This module is about the division - conflict even - between architectural design and heritage, about identification of the monument and the necessary territorial cohesion. At the same time, building in an existing environment requires a specific dialogue, taking into account context and history.

The module is about ways of handling architecture and planning related information, about ways of providing clear and well designed information that represents design ideas.

Architecture stands not isolated. Designing is part of the very complex process of the creation of building solutions.
 

This module is about the theoretical, practical and creative processes of architectural design and conception of space.

This module is about the new, transforming city. We are at a new stage in urban development. This asks for new development and new phrasing.
