Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will have:
• a comprehensive understanding of the environmental and energy characteristics of the urban environment,
• become sensitive to the contemporary problems of environmental degradation of the built environment,
• an understanding of the necessity of the environmental design of the urban space,
• an understanding of the parameters that affect the environmental design of outdoor spaces,
• an understanding of the above parameters through the study / environmental analysis of realised urban regeneration projects.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations

Course Content (Syllabus)
Environmental Design II analyzes and examines:
• the bioclimatic approach to urban/landscape planning and design, emphasising the creation of thermal, visual and acoustic comfort conditions,
• the factors of urban microclimate formation and the scope for intervention: vegetation, materials, water, wind, solar radiation, sun protection,
• the methods and regulations for environmental protection and spatial planning, as well as the strategic choices in national and international scope/legislation, which define the framework for the implementation of environmental planning and design.

Student Assessment
Description
Students are evaluated through an assignment, delivered at the end of the semester. During the course of “Environmental Design II” students deliver a research proposal, of around 3.000 words, which further investigates an environmental parameter or/and an environmental feature that was analyzed at the module’s weekly lectures.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
