After successful completion of the course, students are able to grasp and analyse site-specific conditions in an urban context. The interpretation of these conditions serves as a basis for the development of strategies for future urban development.Direct experience of urban design situations, is indispensable to teaching urban design. The excursions serve as a means to study closely particular settings on the ground. Trips have as their ultimate goal the development of skills in perception. They are meant to convey clearly to students a repertoire of possibilities for comparison and judgment. Preferable destinations are significant historical urban achievements, but also, locations, which exhibit contemporary tendencies in urban design.

The excursion with a workshop in Krakow aims to discuss the project results from the "Lviv Social Resilient City" design project developed at both the Vienna University of Technology and the Lviv Polytechnic University and to test their practical relevance. A group of students and teachers from both schools of architecture as well as colleagues from the urban planning office of Lviv will travel to Krakow for this purpose. Since a group trip to Lviv cannot be planned and is not possible at present, this workshop will be held in Krakow, a location that is easily and inexpensively accessible for all participating partners.

The excursion/workshop ¬Excursion Krakow: Hub for Lviv Social Resilience is organised within the framework of the academic cooperation between the Vienna University of Technology and the Lviv Polytechnic National University and the Lviv Urban Planning Office.  Numerous projects (teaching and research) from the now long-standing cooperation between the two universities can be accessed on the cooperation website: www.vienna-lviv.info
