Summary:

The project tackles an upcoming typical urban design task in countries of the South: how to shape the urban edges along rapid transport highways through a vibrant city and how connect the two adjacent urban quarters divided by the very same highway. Formal, economic, social and cultural aspects need to be considered. The skills to be adquired also comprise an understanding and knowledge of suitable dimensions and qualities of space between buildings.

 Diploma projects run over a period of 10 weeks and mostly work on a task proposed by one of the faculty departments. PAR issues an urban design diploma task in the winter semester 2005/2006. Given that several teams or individual students work on the same task, a design competition situation is simulated best.Alternatively, students may choose an individual task under the condition that the topic is so specific that it cannot be proposed to all students and that the student can convincingly show a personal motivation to pick the project (i.e. intimate knowledge of the location or intended professional career)
