The students know examples of interactions between people/society and nature or the environment and the significance of design processes to people's relationship with their natural and artificial living spaces. They have basic knowledge of professional field-related discourses on the limitations of natural resources. They can reassess, rewrite and strengthen their projects on the basis of the knowledge obtained. They are able to - name relevant theories and research. - analyse, assess, argue, reflect and integrate this knowledge into their own work. - develop independent design projects linked to interdependency and interactions between society, mankind and the environment. |
