After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand and reflect on complex topics of landscape and open space planning in urban areas - in the summer semester 2024 focus on street space. They will be able to present strategic considerations in textual and planning terms and develop designs on the topic. Students will be able to use temporary structural interventions with a special focus on shading in public street spaces as part of their planning and architectural repertoire. They will be able to translate long-term change processes into short-term measures and develop context-related ideas for local challenges in dialogue with affected stakeholders. The elective module also aims to emphasise the usability of student work and efforts with local, non-university stakeholders.

TikTak Galilei
Tactical urbanism and placemaking for sustainable climate change adaptation in Alsergrund

In times of climate change and health crises, short-term, temporary transformations of public spaces through tactical urbanism are becoming increasingly important. They make the added value of major changes directly tangible and increase awareness and acceptance among the population, administration and politics. Their particular potential lies in promoting learning processes and initiating and accelerating rapid, sustainable transformation.

In the summer semester of 2024, this is to be implemented as part of a co-creative design and planning process using the example of Galileigasse in Vienna's 9th district. The focus will be on interdisciplinary collaboration between Master's students of architecture and spatial planning with local stakeholders, the development of a concept and the actual 1:1 implementation as part of a building workshop. We can expect an intensive semester that has the potential to really make a difference!

The project is the core subject of elective module 3: City and Landscape and is coupled with the supplementary subjects Excursion (260.735 EX) and Practical Planning Discourse (260.855 VU). The seminar City and Landscape in Climate Change (260.716 SE) takes place as a further specialisation. This offer of 4 courses provides the ideal opportunity to attend the entire elective module of 18 ECTS in one semester and thus to set a thematic focus in the Master's programme.
