After successful completion of the course, students are able to work on complex design tasks from the field of urban planning independently, systematically and with an original, contemporary design approach on the basis of a precise design language. They have the competence to recognise fields of action in an urban context and to develop appropriate urban planning solutions. Students are able to conduct their own research and to establish topic-related fundamentals. They are able to create design concepts and present them comprehensively in the form of strategy, draft and detail plans.
As part of the MetroLab Design Forum (http://metrolab.design/start/dialogue/), Entwerfen MetroLab is dealing with climate related challenges for metropolitan regions. We will be working on perspectives for the climate-neutral development of the metropolitan region Vienna-Lower Austria-Burgenland and the relevance of the action level city region will be discussed. Based on different lifestyles and behaviors (Moving, Living, Producing, Consuming, Wasting), new spatial models for a climate-neutral urban region will be tested and developed.
The design studio is looking for climate sensitive strategies for the metropolitan area by developing concepts for urban and rural landscapes, both on the metropolitan and local scale.
A publication is planned.

MetroLab is a metropolitan Think Tank and consulting service for the integrated urban development of metropolitan areas and city regions. It introduces participative, integrative and creative-artistic elements and develops innovative metropolitan strategies as well as place-based solutions. Based on a co-creative and dialogue-oriented planning and design approach, it fosters not only placemaking interventions, but also the transfer of cutting-edge knowledge in creative urban planning and bureaucracy. Facing the immensity of contemporary urban challenges, the MetroLab works with an elaborated toolbox of metropolitan planning.
The Metrolab project is funded by Wirtschaftsagentur Wien.
