First year master studio booklet contains two group masterplans and 12 key projects for Gothenburg RiverCity.
The main goal of the SMoG Design Studio is to strengthen students’ understanding of how urban form provides a framework and creates conditions for social and environmental processes in cities. A side effect is that the studio can contribute both to the discussion in Gothenburg about the future direction of The RiverCity and to the professional discussion of how such a plan could be developed.
Central to the studio are theories and methods in analytical Urban Morphology, especially network analysis (Space Syntax) and density analysis (Spacematrix), used to arrive at what can be called an evidence-based-design methodology.
