What does a city need to do to become a pleasant place to live? How can architecture and urban planning respond to the needs of people and communities? What should the new CAMP bring to its neighborhood, and how should it connect people, the city, and nature?
While designing this urban oasis, students will reflect on what their community needs and how urban planning and design can address these needs. They will draw on the history and urban structure of Karlín. Using real-world examples, they will explore the needs of users, the city’s resilience to climate change, and the importance of nature in the city.
During walks through the city, they will learn to read urban planning—noticing scale, movement, structure, and the atmosphere of a space. Participants will acquire basic architectural skills: site analysis, concept development, drawing floor plans and sections, and building physical models. Each lesson will introduce new tools and techniques that architects use when designing and presenting their ideas.
