RESEARCH and DESIGN.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our main objectives The main objectives of the graduation studio are: 1. To research, conceptualize and visualize the processes, the productions, potentials and problems of cities (Space) 2. To lead students towards a clear understanding of strategic planning processes under contemporary productive, political and technological conditions (Globalisation) 3. To enable students to ‘think strategically’ and formulate specific spatial strategies for different cases (Strategy)
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our specific objectives The studio’s specific objectives are threefold: 1. Theoretical level:
the aim is to give students insight in
various urban theories concerning the formation and transformation of the city, as well as strategic spatial planning under new conditions resulting from rapid urbanisation and new governance conditions. In order to do so, it is necessary to analyse emerging urban spatial structures, new social and economic processes, place phenomenology and the renewed role of the State in Spatial Planning and Management.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our specific objectives 2. Methodological level: the aim is to present various sets of methods in order to carry out research and analysis. Examples are space and process mapping, system dynamics, network analyses, spatial modelling tools, spatial planning methods and spatial phenomenology.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our specific objectives 3. Practice-based level: Knowledge gained from the theoretical and methodological levels will be applied on a specific site, implying the formulation of a strategy and the design of one or more spatial interventions. The site is chosen by each student according to his/her own research interests. Staff may help students decide on cases and sites, as well as the scale of intervention.

Step by step P1: Understanding the Place/Process and Describing the Main Problem Students present results of exploratory research and describe the main theme (problem) to be tackled, with a research question and a draft of the methods to be used, besides a preliminary statement of objectives Friday, 20April, 2012
Step by step P2: Work Plan with Problem and Theoretical Framework > VISION AND STRATEGY Students deliver a complete work plan (thesis plan), with the description of the problem and the theoretical framework where this problem will be tackled (theory paper). Students present a vision and a preliminary strategy, accompanied by interventions described (words + images) within a logical governance framework
Friday, 20April, 2012
Step by step P3: SPATIAL STRATEGY AND KEY SPATIAL INTERVENTIONS Students describe definite spatial strategy (image + words), accompanied by the description of key spatial interventions within a logical time and governance framework. Preliminary design of a key intervention. Friday, 20April, 2012
Step by step P4: DESIGN KEY INTERVENTION IN A PLAN Definite lay-out of the strategy accompanied by the design of one o more key interventions at local level within a logical time framework (what happens when?) and governance framework (who does what?) P5: FINAL STRATEGY AND DESIGN Friday, 20April, 2012
Vision and Strategy Spatial interventions (designs) are located in spatial framework and articulated within a time frame (what happens when?) and a specific governance frame (who does what?)
Friday, 20April, 2012
The role of design is twofold Design is an analytical and communicative tool to help define and describe spatial qualities and the actions of the stakeholders in a real spatial setting Design is material synthesis that integrates function, policy and culture in a spatial setting that can be assessed and discussed (materialization) Friday, 20April, 2012
In summary: Developing a strategic vision Understanding the processes and the drivers Locating, specifying and contextualising the problem (finding the right questions) Specifying the domain of research Specifying the problem within that domain Specifying the interventions: Spatial - where? to achieve what? Temporal - what happens when? Governance - who does what and by what authority?

Aart de Koning wins KIVINIRIA Cuperusprijs Former student of SPS won this prestigious prize and we congratulate him! The prize is given every two years to the best master thesis in the field of transport planning in the Netherlands. Aart de Koning conducted research into a new public transport system for the harbour of Rotterdam. The jury specifically appreciated the way how his design makes use of opportunities that stem from the spatial economic context in the region and his ability to visualize his argument. Aart de Koning participated in an integral master education; his thesis was supported by mentors from both, the Chair of Spatial Planning & Strategy and the Department of Transport & Planning at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, TU Delft.

Justina Muliuolyte and Tadas Jonauskis, former students of Complex Cities, win EUROPAN11 Architectural Competition TU Delft spatial planning students win prestigious Europan award with proposals to transform a university campus into a self-sufficient Multitalented City. Europan is a biennial competition for young architects under 40 years old organized by the Europan Foundation, with headquarters in Paris. The assignment is to design innovative housing schemes for sites across Europe. In 2011, there were 1826 projects submitted for 49 sites in 17 different European countries. The team formed by Justina Muliuolyte, Tadas Jonauskis (urbanists) and Lukas Rekevičius (architect) was one of 41 winning teams. Justina and Tadas are both former students of the graduation studio Complex Cities of the Department of Urbanism of the TU Delft.

What is it? It is a collaborative working process with international and local teachers, students and inhabitants, where an urban problem is tackled. The aim is to provide a strategy and a set of design oriented solutions for a slum area located in a municipality of 300.000 inhabitants adjacent to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Main themes: slum upgrading, developing metropolises, local intervention in a metropolitan context
