At the heart of this program will be the multi-faceted, multi-scalar attention to issues of re-thinking the urban re-development and re-building of Ukrainian settlements, towns, and cities. The program aims to shift the professional paradigms of architects and professionals coming from interdisciplinary design-related fields, towards urban thinking with a focus on the Ukrainian context of post-war recovery.
The future generation of urban professionals is considered to have a strong mediator role and become a facilitator in planning and decision-making processes across different levels. The program intends to provide the necessary competence for such roles.
The focus of the Master’s program is on a broad urban discourse and in maximum proximity to Ukrainian realities.
The themes of the integrated design studios will be specific cities, communes, villages, and neighborhoods. The studio work is planned in direct cooperation with representatives of these urban formations.
The first part of the first semester studio is dedicated to research, analysis, mapping, and the creation of a collective spatial strategy (masterplan).
The program allows you to choose a track in architecture or urban design from the second semester of the first year.
The program is designed in such a way that the theoretical modules provide tools that can be immediately applied in the studio work. We see that the ideas and projects produced by the studio could be used by municipalities for urban development and recovery of the urban environment.
Important modules shaping the program will consist of: theoretical courses on architecture and urbanism, methodologies of professional practice, prefabrication techniques, circularity processes, participatory processes, and urban political processes.
An integrated educational approach brings together critical, theoretical and strategic skills together with spatio-structural design as well as provides an understanding of implementation processes.
Collecting necessary knowledge across different disciplines, students of the Master’s Program will integrate and apply them directly within studio projects. It is essential that the studio projects are conducted around real case studies, with municipalities and other urban actors involved. Therefore, future graduates are expected to apply their gained competence in such roles as urban designers, urban planners, urbanists, and project developers.
