Abstract

Students interested in this course are required to enroll via mystudies.ethz.ch and apply via e-mail at the chair until end of the first week of the semester. Students are asked to indicate the theme of the design and the chair they are working with. The work is handed in at the same time as the design assignment.

Objective

The goal is to develop a historical investigation of urban design with a clear topic and a clear formulation of a question. The findings and the discoveries shall form the basis of the design.

Content

The integrated study performance is attached to the design, but in urban planning discipline it must be a clearly recognizable independent achievement, which is to be provided in the form of a written and / or creative work. Choice of topic, form and extent of the work must be done in close consultation with the chair.
