17. Urbanism at tudelft
AR2U090 Methodology for Urbanism
*Logics of Enquiry
In this exercise, you will need to ‘locate’ yourself inthe hypothetical triangle that composes URBANISM
at TU Delft. According to your previous education and aspirations for the future, where would you be?
Mark a cross inside the triangle and write your name and country of origin near that cross. Would you
add another element to this geometrical form? Is it a polygon? A square? What other categories would
you add, if any?

delft university of technology (NL) + National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan) +
South China University of Technology (China)

20. AIM
to provide students with a summarized
experience on spatial plan and
strategy-making,
using short exercises to build up a
simulated planning and design cycle.

21. The objectives
• To help students understand theories and
practices that bring together water management
and urban development
• to apply the knowledge acquired in the
elaboration of a vision and a spatial plan for a
specific area in the vicinity of Rotterdam.

22. Learning objectives
• To understand the challenges of water issues in
regional, metropolitan and urban environments
and resilience of urban environments in relation
to climate change
• To understand the connections between the planning and
design of built environments in relation to the
challenges above
• To understand the complexity of spatial planning and
strategy making in relation to water issues

23. learning outcomes
• To discuss the possible roles planning and design professionals
might have in the practice
• To connect issues of governance, participation and democracy to
spatial plan-making and design
• To understand general steps in spatial plan and strategy-making
and to get familiarized with possible methods and tools associated
with each step
• To understand the role of technology in urban development
considering climate change and its role as boundary spanner
• To connect learning and doing through practical interactive
exercises
