After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand cities as pioneers of social change and as centres of political and economic change over the last millennia. They are informed about the urban living space, which is characterised by urbanization, suburbanization and structural change and increasingly requires planning to be understood as a dynamic development process. Furthermore, they are able to work on complex design tasks from the field of urban planning independently, systematically and with an original, contemporary design approach based on a precise design language. They have the competence to recognise fields of action in the urban context and to develop corresponding urban planning solutions. The students are able to conduct independent research and collect topic-related basics. They are able to create design concepts and to comprehensively present them in the form of strategy, design and detail plans.
The Danube plays a strategic role in the development and expansion of Vienna. As the city developed, so did its relationship with the river. Today, the Danube is largely invisible from the city. Interwoven with transport and flood protection infrastructure, it lies like a barrier between two halves of the city, but very rarely interacts with it.The DanubeLab will identify spatial opportunities for new synergies between river and city. In relation to the Productive City as well as the search for integration of this blue infrastructure, which has shaped the city under the credo 'Vienna to the Danube', students will develop multidisciplinary strategies to create space for living, producing, and connecting, with and for the city.Students will apply design methods and multidisciplinary approaches, including landscape design, to challenge the spatial possibilities of the Danube and create space for the productive city as well as new urban, open and natural spaces along the Danube.
