This studio focuses on the development of principles and methods for a sustainable urbanism. This is necessary because within urbanism sustainability concepts are much less established than on the architectural level, while the groundwork for a functioning sustainable system must be laid on the urban level. Starting from a combined study of eco city proposals, recently established rating systems for urban sustainability as well as canonical urban fabrics, each student will develop a prototypical urban design of 10 hectares within a 10 kilometre wide strip between Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
