  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Examples and imagination

Course week(s) Week 3

Designing an urban plan in the existing fabric and space asks for a careful study in its socio-cultural history. This forms the basis of every urban design. The strategy in this lecture gives the needed grip on the core elements and layers, by analysing the specific case of Rotterdam Zuid.

Reviewed are the historic layers still visible in the current city, the structure of dikes and basins, the zoning of the harbour city and the city plotted upon.

Els Bet is urban designer and tutor at the Chair of Theory & Methods.
