After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• name basic spatial structural features
• develop independently the analytical foundations
• explain basic structural relations between society, built environment and regulations
• apply basic methods of spatial analysis and spatial representation
• independently develop simple spatial analyzes (in different layers), based on the foundations attained in the course, in the form of reports including maps
• develop scenarios and future plans (vision) as a basis for future development as well as to define necessary goals and measures for achieving the vision
• create a (simple) graphical design (posters) and do a presentation

The spatial workshop is divided into two sequences:

1. Observe and analyze space: collection and processing of the space experience (photos, mental maps, plans, action and exercise areas, findings, observations, etc.), editing space categories and analysis transport, construction, land use) from an existing plans, research on space analysis categories (data, numbers, facts, analysis, etc.)
2. Develop and analyze space: creative utopian future workshop, common reflection and combination of factors and categories of spatial analysis, essays reflecting the Group Vision.

• inspection of the local environment
• observations
• walks
• interviews, surveys
• literatur and internet research
• .....
