Sustainable Urban Landscapes delves into the principles and practices necessary for creating environmentally responsible urban spaces. Participants will engage in project-based learning, focusing on innovative design solutions that address contemporary urban challenges such as climate change, resource management, and community well-being. The course emphasizes hands-on experiences, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings while encouraging the dissemination of their findings through publication opportunities in Cademix Magazine.
Through a series of interactive workshops and collaborative projects, participants will gain insights into sustainable materials, green infrastructure, and urban ecology. The curriculum is structured to foster critical thinking and creativity, equipping learners with the skills to design landscapes that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sustainable. The final project will challenge participants to develop a comprehensive urban landscape proposal that integrates sustainability concepts, showcasing their ability to create impactful designs.
