This module focuses on one comprehensive exercise, integrating concepts and elements from the previous weeks by thinking through scales (urban metabolism, network approach). The exercise aims to understand the different impacts of thinking through scales and wants to show how materials and their flows have wider environmental and spatial impacts than the material, building, city or regional level.
