Námskeiðslýsing á ensku:
This course explores the relationship between human perception of landscapes and seascapes in connection with the built environment and the critical role of planning. It is rooted in the fundamental notion that the built environment, much like nature, profoundly influences individuals' well-being, sense of belonging, and their choice of where to reside. In this course, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to identify, evaluate, and understand the planning processes, tools, and outcomes that pave the way for more sustainable and resilient communities. By critically examining planning theory and practice, students will be equipped to address contemporary and future challenges in planning and development. This course will enable students to understand the complexities of planning through the exploration of place creation and management in diverse economic, environmental, historical, and social contexts. Additionally, the course covers innovative design strategies and construction practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and renewable energy integration, all while considering the lifecycle impacts of built structures. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to address the challenges of creating a better quality of life in a sustainable environment, whether at the local, regional, or national level.
